Magical Iceland: Hot Springs, Volcanos, Glaciers And Waterfalls

We had planned a reunion with friends from the Netherlands in Iceland in 2020, but COVID threw a wrench in that. So we decided we would make it happen for Thanksgiving 2021.

During my last trip to Iceland in March 2015, we ended up in a full-blown snowstorm for 4 days. I was hoping for better luck in November. The trip was everything I had hoped for and more.

We hiked the magical world of Iceland: hot springs, volcanos, glaciers, and waterfalls. All stayed in a beautiful house and had great food. Unfortunately, didn’t see the Northern lights this time, so a reason to come back.

Hiking The Kilauea Volcano

Unpredictable, Wild, And Exciting

During our visit to the Big Island of Hawaii in 2018, we booked a trip with Aloha Lava Tours to hike on the Kilauea volcano.

Timing can be everything because nature can be unpredictable. Four months after our adventure, the 2018 lower Puna eruption on Kilauea volcano’s East Rift Zone began. For months, the island was in a state of emergency.

If we had planned our trip a couple of months later, this trip would not have been possible. In other words, we would have missed what is probably the most amazing and spectacular experience I have had in my life.

I highly recommend when visiting the Big Island include the Hawai’i Volcanos National Park in your plans. Explore the raw wild beauty of the island. Maybe you can even hike a volcano as we did.
