Emma was wonderful. She had great ideas, and knew all the nooks and crannies of the Faroe Islands and Norway. We had elegant hotels, interesting tours and great suggestions all planned to perfection.... See more

It was an absolute pleasure organising your trip to Finnish Lapland Andy. We are so pleased that you were happy with all of the advice and our communication. It was so wonderful to find out upon your return that you had such a great time and that you made new friends with people you met at Muotka. It really did sound like you had an absolute blast! Thank you for taking time to leave this kind review.
Kindest regards, Emma and the team at Where The Wild Is
We had a fantastic holiday
We had a fantastic holiday! Emma at Where The Wild is fully understood what we wanted from our holiday and managed to arrange everything for us within our budget. The Muotka Wilderness Lodge is a lovely place and the environment around it absolutely stunning. All the activities were well planned with lovely helpful guides. The food was great and there was plenty of choice, even for vegetarians. It could not have been better! The fact that aurora borealis was a little underwhelming while we were there didn't take away from the fab time we had. I would definitely recommend both Where The Wild Is and The Muotka Lodge.

A wild and wonderful bucket list trip
Where The Wild Is organised the perfect trip to Iceland for my mum’s 84th birthday. Our hotel in Reykjavik was fabulous and ideally located, with a breakfast buffet to fuel even the hardiest Arctic explorers. In a beautifully paced 3 day schedule, we saw the Northern Lights (yay🎉), visited the Golden Circle, stood on a spectacular glacier (😍), took part in Iceland’s Food & Fun Festival and lazed in the wonderful geothermal water of the Blue Lagoon - all with plenty of time to explore Iceland’s charismatic capital too. It takes real skill to put together an itinerary like that - everything was organised in advance and worked like clockwork. A totally stress free trip, I can’t recommend this company enough. If you want to go to Iceland, go Where The Wild Is.

What a wonderful review for a wonderful customer. Organising the trip for you to celebrate your mum's 84th birthday was an absolute pleasure. We work hard to ensure each element of the trips we plan work together perfectly. Your kind words are very much appreciated. Super pleased that the northern lights came out to play for you too!

Fantastic Trip to Iceland
Fantastic Trip to Iceland. Exeter Hotel was amazing - such a good location. We had an amazing time on our tour of the Golden Circle and at the Blue lagoon. Where the Wild is did a great job of organising everything for us, and giving a load of recommendations of what to do with our downtime / places to eat as well as tips on what to pack.

The Exeter Hotel really is wonderful isn't it! Such a great addition to Reykjavik. Thank you for your lovely words. We love creating itineraries and are delighted that you found our recommendations on how to spend time in the city helpful and our packing list useful too.

Absolutely incredible experience
Absolutely incredible experience. The itinerary put together was detailed and expansive whilst allowing us to explore some of Icelands most incredible and unforgettable scenes. Everything was organised for us from being picked up at the airport straight to our hotel (which was excellent) to pre-arranged excursions.

I went on a group trip through WtWi to Iceland, all arranged by Emma. From the airport and through the whole trip, every detail was arranged for us. Being picked up and dropped off to the airport was particularly appreciated, as it is quite a long trip to the capital from Keflavik airport.
I would use WtWi again and again, we had a fantastic time.
