About Me

Puffins at Latrabjarg
Puffins at Latrabjarg

Travelling in Iceland is a wonder of waterfalls, warm and hot pools, iceberg lakes and volcanoes. The country is heated by its geothermal activity. Travel the ring road to visit volcanoes and waterfalls. Enjoy the capital of Reykjavik with old streets and its new concert hall. Visit one of the many areas with adorable Atlantic Puffins from May through July. Take the ferry to Vestmannaeyjar with Icelandic Ponies (and Puffins) along with many other birds that nest there. I loved the black sand beach near Vik. 

On an autumn trip to the North of Iceland, we went to see the Northern Lights, whales and ducks seen in very few places. The area is home to Harlequin ducks and numerous types of Eiders (85-90% of the Eider down for comforters is collected by hand in Iceland after the chicks have hatched), Husavik is the whale watching capital of Iceland and Lake Mývatn's famous arctic char and it famous for having more different species of duck gathered on and around the lake than anywhere else in the world. Mývatn is a legally protected conservation area and appears on the register of internationally important wetlands, along with the Laxá river which flows out of the lake.

Another way to see the country is take a cruise around the country stopping at many of the highlights with no need to unpack or drive. Or go in winter and view the Northern Lights. I'd love to help you on a fun adventure in Iceland!

Amazing hiking/trek Aurora Borealis chase in Norway.
Reviewed By Doctor Don - Tucson, AZ | Traveled to Norway | Europe
I usually don't write reviews unless the service provided was truly exceptional. Our trip was very complex with multiple "moving parts". Nancy Kemper was was outstanding in all the following: personal first hand knowledge of Norway and Aurora Borealis chasing; researching options to meet our specific needs; was efficient and detailed in trip planning; was flexible and helpful with changes; promptly responded to questions or concerns; followed up during our trip to make sure we were on schedule and sent reminders during the trip; vetting and securing a hiking guide; During the entire process Nancy was reliable, pleasant and affable. The bottom line is that we had an amazingly awesome Norway hiking trek and Aurora Borealis chase rated by our local guides as a 20 on a scale of 10!

Perfect trip to Glacier!
Reviewed By JenFam - Ogden Dunes, Indiana | Traveled to Glacier National Park | Montana | USA
While my husband has been to Glacier many times, we were so fortunate to have Nancy plan this trip for him and my son. She found a great cabin for them close to the park and a water rafting excursion. She was great to work with - very responsive, customized itinerary and thought of everything. Thank you again Nancy!
