TripAdvisor reviews

Hey Iceland is the company to use for a worry free adventure. What a great trip! Our family, of six adults, wanted to travel around Iceland in our own vehicle. After spending hours on the internet, getting nowhere, we found Hey Iceland. After contacting them, our dreams were made into plans. We fully enjoyed staying in each Hey Iceland Farm accommodation. We realized that if the proprietor offered dinner there, it was often the best meal around!
