This is the only time we have used a company to organise our trip. Iceland is an expensive country, you need a 4-wheel drive to get around and inside knowledge on where to go and what to see is invaluable. Click on the words in bold below for further information.

We found the Exodus Iceland Walking Explorer fitted our needs perfectly and provided excellent value.
For books we used the Lonely Planet Guide and the Rough Guide, both of which offered helpful advice.
We found the Rough Guide map or those at Maps Worldwide to be very useful
We also found the following websites of interest as providers of general information:
http://www.worldinfozone.com/country.php?country=Iceland
http://www.kwintessential.co.uk/articles/article/Iceland/Volcanoes-in-Iceland/528

... and finally, for a feel of the history and culture try some of the Icelandic sagas in translation
