Project Description

Custom Self-Drive Trips — Built Around You

You bring the idea. We built the trip.

If you don’t want a fixed itinerary, a bus schedule, or a “greatest hits” tour, this is for you.

We design custom Iceland trips from scratch — based on how you want to travel, how fast you move, and what actually matters to you. No templates. No recycled routes.

Your Point of Contact: Gummi

Every custom trip is planned by Guðmundur Óli Pálmason — “Gummi.”

Gummi is Icelandic, has spent his life here, and has over a decade of experience as a driver-guide. He knows when places work, when they don’t, and which ideas sound good on paper but fail in real life.

You’ll deal with one person from start to finish. No handoffs. No sales layer.

How This Works

  1. You reach out
    Tell us:

    • Dates (or rough timeframe)
    • Length of trip
    • Number of people & ages
    • What you actually want to do (and what you don’t)
  2. We build a real itinerary
    Gummi puts together a route that makes sense for:

    • Season
    • Road conditions
    • Daylight
    • Your pace
  3. You adjust it
    We refine it together.
    Quick replies. No waiting weeks.
    Zoom call if you want to talk it through properly.
  4. You confirm
    Once it’s right, you get a clear price.
    We book everything.

What We Can Include

Your custom package can include any or all of the following:

  • Vehicle
    Rental chosen for your route — not just group size
    (2WD, 4×4, Highlands, winter-ready if needed)
  • Accommodation
    Lodging that fits your route and daily distances
    (not just “what’s available”)
  • Activities
    Glacier hikes, hot springs, ice caves, snowmobiling, whale watching — only what fits your plan
  • Private Guide (Optional)
    For part of the trip or the whole thing

Before You Arrive

2–4 weeks before arrival, you’ll receive:

  • Final itinerary
  • Booking vouchers
  • Driving routes & realistic timings
  • Restaurant and stop suggestions
  • Practical notes (weather, roads, expectations)

While You’re Here

You’re not on your own.

We’re available 24/7 during your trip if something changes, weather shifts, or you need help adjusting plans.
