About Me

Northern Lights over the Snæfellsnes Peninsula
Northern Lights over the Snæfellsnes Peninsula

The Land of Fire and Ice is still a mystery for many but what a spectacular island! Sure, with vibrant Reykjavik and it’s proximity to the Golden Circle alone is worth making the trip but that’s barely scratching the surface.

Iceland is truly a year-round destination offering such variety that you’ll find yourself dreaming about multiple trips! In winter, Iceland is relatively temperate even though it crosses the Arctic Circle in the north. Short, fun-filled days followed by 18 hours of darkness punctuated by Northern Lights are enough to justify the trip. Snowmobiling on glaciers to exploring ice caves, walking along black beaches contrasting pure snow on one side, ocean waves on the other then returning to a cozy cottage or eco-lux lodge. Skiing in the north, hot springs all over, waterfalls and majestic landscapes.. the winter provides all of this and more!

And then there’s the summer! Did I mention waterfalls? The countryside comes alive with waterfalls big and small, volcanoes, hidden lakes and geysers, colonies of puffins, whale migration, scuba diving between two continents and 18+ hours of sunlight to see everything on your list!

Iceland is very challenging to plan for. How long should you stay? Do you want to do a Full Circle tour and cover the entire island? When should you go to beat the crowds? 

Call me! I'm hear to help!

First class service for a once in a lifetime trip!
Reviewed By Lins - Woodbury, MN | Traveled to Oahu Island ~ Hawaii ~ USA
Anne, from IKP travel helped us plan and book our recent trip to Hawaii. She was super patient (we changed our date of travel, and had a hard time deciding which island we wanted to go to). Anne, had first hand experience at seveal of the locations she recommended for us to stay. We had specifically requested a hotel that had a kitchenette, and in room washer/dryer. The options she sent us were fantastic, and the location we settled on was amazing. Anne traveled to Oahu shortly before our trip, and picked up brochures that she hand delivered for us to check out. I highly recommend working with Anne for all your travel and vacation needs!

Business/Vacation
Reviewed By PRada - Eagan MN | Traveled to Oahu Island ~ Hawaii ~ USA
We needed to head to Oahu to take care of business following the death of a family member. We contacted Anne and she took care of arranging all the travel details. This gave us one less thing to worry about. Anne is knowledge about the island and booked us into accommodations that were an easy distance from all that we had to do while on the island.
