Our first international trip together to Iceland and Finland this November with Pickyourtrail was the best decision! We are so grateful to Mr. Beniel for planning everything perfectly and to the team for checking in on us daily. Right from the accommodations to the flights and activities, everything was curated exactly to our needs. Seeing the Northern Lights together was a major bucket list dream come true! Hoping to plan another holiday with them soon. Thank you Pickyourtrail!jyothi choudhary, Trip to Iceland

Highlights of the Destination
- Capture the ethereal Northern Lights: Venture away from the city’s lights for a chance to witness this mesmerizing natural phenomenon. The dark skies above Akureyri are perfect for seeing the auroras dance in vibrant colors.

- Spot majestic whales: Experience the thrill of whale watching in the fjord. Look out for humpback whales and other marine life while enjoying the serene beauty of Eyjafjord.
Travel Tips for Iceland
- Dress in layers: The weather can change rapidly, so it’s essential to dress warmly and wear sturdy shoes to navigate Iceland's varied terrain.
- Book your Northern Lights tour early: Since sightings can’t be guaranteed, it’s best to book on your first night to allow flexibility with rescheduling if necessary.
- Don’t forget your swimsuit: If you plan to relax in the Nature Baths, make sure to pack a swimsuit and towel for a comforting dip.
- Embrace the local cuisine: Dive into Icelandic dishes like lamb soup and fresh seafood. It’s a great way to experience the culture and flavors of this beautiful country.

My family and I took a trip to Iceland with Pickyourtrail 2 weeks ago, and it was one of the most unforgettable experiences we've ever had. We travelled there to see aurora lights and we got extremely happy to see them on all nights during our stay in Reykjavik! Thanks very much to the team at Pickyourtrail who helped us every step of our way through this trip. The itinerary was perfectly created as per our choices. The hotels they chose for us in Akureyri and Vik were also centrally located with so many amenities. They kept us informed about every small thing on trip, which made our holiday hassle-free as they state. Their support chat is round the clock and they will get back to you even in the middle of the night, which was very useful to us when we faced minor inconveniences during an activity but their team resolved those issues almost immediately. I will definitely recommend their services to everyone. Will surely reach out to them for my next international holiday. Thank you team Pickyourtrail, once again!

Was very happy to work with Samrit from Pick your trail. I wanted to plan an offbeat trip to Iceland and in fact got a lot of useful information from him that is otherwise difficult to procure from googling. He was very patient in understanding my requirements and gave suggestions here and there. Being a constant traveller, he is one of the best travel planners I have worked with :-) Highly recommending Pick Your Trail. Will definitely come back to them for my next trip.

Amazing arrangement by Pickyourtrail for our Maldives trip, right from helping with hotel selection to flight booking to the actual stay. The hotel, Aaadaran, took care of most of the responsibilities after we landed on Male. Special thanks to Ritika for prompt assistance whenever we needed help.
