Just finished a 5 day tour, The Best of Iceland tour, and hands down this has been the best trip I have ever taken! I travel a lot but everything about the trip was 10/10. We were blessed to have the best tour guide anyone could ever ask for. Seigi is a retired professor so everything he explained was in his teaching form captivating everyone’s attention the entire time! They give us plenty of time at each destination. Hotels were nice, the last hotel where we spent 3 nights, Adventure hotel, was 10/10! Highly recommend this tour company and if you’re lucky, you’ll get Seigi!
Beautiful! Before starting the trip, customer service via email are really friendly for our enquiry. Our tour guide Siggi is very professional. Time management is good and we have a lot of time for photography and sightseeing. Also, he explains a lot about Iceland when driving or dining. We can know more about Iceland history and languages from him. He suggests great food and restaurant to us! We are happy within these 6 days and saw a lot of beautiful places in our first Iceland trip. I hate eating lamb before coming iceland. After trying lamb soup and lamb steak by this trip, I am fall in love with all lamb food in Iceland. I eat lamb everyday in my trip. I will come again and eat lamb in Iceland next time. Thanks all.
My friend and I booked a 6+1 days tour with Arctic Adventures from 17th Oct to 23rd Oct. It was an amazing tour experience with the guide Hulmer. Hulmer is knowledgeable, communicative, humorous and friendly, he’s familiar with the places’ histories and information, he also shared many stories about his personal experience and Icelandic’s life, in fact for someone like me from Malaysia, it’s quite insightful and interesting to listen. He would tell us the nicest spots to check out Northerrn lights. He’s also a good driver and safety is always his priority. I was truly enjoying every moments of the trips. Everywhere was beautiful and clean, I couldn’t keep my eyes off from watching the scenery even in the cars. All the accommodations that Arctic Adventures arranged also a plus point, all got beautiful views from the windows and unique lodges that I would not forget. Highlights of the tour, a touching moment when seeing whale and seals up close, saw aurora on the second night of the tour, first time seeing crater with lava and flying snows, spotted a reindeer from a far and good experience exploring glacier and hot bath in Mývatn Nature Baths. The 1 day tour guide, Nils made the trip more fun by having some games during the tour. We also joined the snorkeling tour in Silfra, the tour was well organized, Marketa was our instructor/ guide, she was patient, helped us to wear the dry suit and mask. She’s always around us by making sure we’re safe and took photos for us especially me, I was clumsy in the water. But she helped me to swim further and seeing more in the water. While returning to the shore, she came to check on me whether I was okay then off she went to help the rest, but I didn’t know the water current was so strong for me, I was lucky that another instructor was helping to go back to the shore, they focused on safety first. What an experience on the snowy day! Hope you all will also enjoy the tour with Arctic aadventures.
We had such a wonderful 6 Days Ring Road trip with our amazing guide, Margrét Pétursdóttir! She made every day fun and full of laughter. Margrét shared many interesting stories about Iceland and always made sure everyone was comfortable and happy. The journey was smooth, exciting, and truly unforgettable. Thank you, Margrét, for making our Iceland adventure so special! 💙🇮🇸
I did two tours with Arctic Adventures - Glacier Hike w/Ice Climbing and Silfra Fissure Snorkeling. Kristian was the guide for the glacier hike/ice climbing and was incredible! Personable, knowledgeable, patient and encouraging. It was truly a highlight of my trip!! 100/10 would recommend. The snorkeling was less smooth of an experience, just because of how busy the whole situation is. There is a lot going on, the equipment requires help, and the guides are dealing with a flurry of confused people. I don’t blame them, just the amount of people they were trying to get through all at once. Still definitely worth it and my guide was personable and knowledgeable as well!
