Belatedly starting to think about a 2 week trip to Iceland in March 2018. Anyone have a workshop or private guide they would recommend? Kevin are you running an Iceland workshop in March with space left?
My wife and I were there last March. Save yourself a pile of money: rent a car and spend time online deciding on the places you want to go, which is what we did. Then, plan your route, doubling or tripling your Google Map driving times to account for weather and the stops you’ll make along the way for those unexpected spectacular views.
March is pretty easy for decision-making as almost all inland roads are closed and, despite the snow, we successfully navigated all the roads we needed to (and we had only a small, front-wheel drive). That being said, being Canadian, we’re used to winter driving. Just take your time and slow down when the conditions deteriorate.
Even in March, there are still many spectacular places to photograph. You sure don’t need a guide as places are well-marked and/or well-mapped.
