- SBSusan· September 13th, 2025Review of Arctic Adventures Tour with Tour Guide, Omar: This was a very disappointing experience, and Arctic Adventures owes us a refund. Omar was by far the worst tour guide we’ve ever had. He offered almost no commentary about Iceland, stayed silent during drives, and left us to ask him about meeting times and return instructions. He rarely accompanied us at the sites—just waited on the bus. Basic courtesies were lacking: there were no introductions, no goodbyes, and no guidance. By day two, his attitude turned dismissive, sometimes even sarcastic. He rarely ate with us as well. When he did speak, it was unhelpful. For example, he dodged simple questions, made “clever” jokes instead of giving answers, and dismissed concerns about the weather. Yet when seated with another couple not part of our tour at dinner one evening, he suddenly became animated, sharing detailed stories of Iceland—the kind of insight our group had been denied the entire trip. It was both frustrating and disappointing. And when he did talk, it was hard to follow what he was saying, On top of that, the bus was a disaster: 292,000 kilometers, mechanical failures, and constant computer restarts to shift gears or reverse. These issues persisted for two days before a replacement was provided, which limited the vehicle's speed and caused us to waste time and backtrack to obtain another vehicle. This vehicle should have been replaced on day one! The new van was a downgrade—no Wi-Fi, no microphones, fewer seats, no handrails—and even forced one passenger into the front seat with Omar. To make matters worse, Omar’s driving was reckless, often overtaking multiple vehicles at once, putting passengers at risk. Those seated up front confirmed he took unnecessary risks, as they witnessed his actions. Combined with the poor guiding and faulty vehicle, this tour was unsafe, unprofessional, and not worth the cost. On top of that, as Omar was driving so fast with the replacement vehicle, he managed to get a huge nail stuck in one of the tires. We had to wait almost 2 hours at a convenience store nearby while Omar obtained help to replace the vehicle. For future travelers, you need to provide better experienced guides who tell you more specifics about the history of Iceland and what we are seeing. This tour was unsafe, unprofessional, and far below the standard Arctic Adventures promises. We deserve and demand a refund—not only for the lost learning experience but also for the wasted time and unacceptable safety risks. Anything less would be taking advantage of customers who put their trust—and safety—in your company.Show more
Arctic Adventures commented on this reviewDear Susan, Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback about your tour experience. We are very sorry to read about the concerns you raised regarding both the guiding and the condition of the vehicles. This is far from the standard of... Show moreTrip date: September 2025 - Manon· September 7th, 2025This tour will be forever etched into our memory.

- DFDavid· August 9th, 2025The tour was in two sections (although not sold as that) - 6 days around Iceland with tour guide Adolf and the seventh day is a separate tour with a different guide (and people) to the Snaefelssnes peninsula. The six days was exceptional - a local guide with a tremendous passion for Iceland, its nature and its history. The seventh day was a LONG drive with four very good stops and beautiful scenery, but it’s a long time between toilet stops and lunch quite late (so take snacks and drinks).Show moreTrip date: July 2025

Trip date: July 2025 - TCTira· July 14th, 2025Excellent as far as the organization, places we got to visit Our guide was exceptional in each and every way The hotels could use hooks to hang our clothes on in the bathroom and some need shower curtains so water does not flood the floor . After a few days , the interior of the buses need to be cleaned esp the seats I came back one day to find a dirty boot print on my seat and a dead moth on the window sill that was there from day one It would be nice to have phone charging ability in the bus , the phone dies out since we take so many photos Overall, a great tripShow moreTrip date: July 2025

Asked on July 30th, 2025Would that be early enough to join the tour departing on that day? Also, is the whale watching excursion included, or do you need to pay extra for it?
- Arctic AdventuresOperator•Written July 2025
Pick-up for the 7-day tour starts at 08:00 AM, so unfortunately, you wouldn't be able to join the tour on the same day as your arrival. I would recommend booking the tour starting on August 15th instead. The Whale Watching excursion is included in the tour package — there's no extra cost for it.

Traveler•Written July 2025Could you please tell me what the big differences/things you miss on the 6 day tour compared to the 7 day tour?
- Arctic AdventuresOperator•Written August 2025
The 7-day tour includes the Snaefellsness Peninsula tour on the last day of the tour, this is the main difference between the two tours. The rest of the adventure is the same 6-day Around Iceland tour. On the 7-day tour, we would accommodate you for 6 nights whereas on our 6-day adventure, we will accommodate you for 5 nights. There is also an 8-day Ring Road tour, which provides accommodation on the 1st and 7th nights in Reykjavik.

Asked on July 18th, 2025Is this program tour still available for one person? And I would like to know about the cost 2535$ is the net price or will have more charge?
- Arctic AdventuresOperator•Written July 2025
Our 7-day Complete Iceland is still available on your desired date. The initial price of the tour, without any extras or single room fees is 2548 USD. However, if you are a solo traveler and want to enjoy the privacy of your own, then the single room fee has to be added to the booking. This way we will be able to guarantee that you will get a single room for the duration of your tour. On the other hand if you are completely fine with sharing your room with another traveler of the same gender, you could select a twin room instead of single one. We have additional extras such as Myvatn Nature baths, hiking boots, waterproof pants, waterproof jackets. The price per each rental item is around 37 USD for the duration of the tour. The price for the Myvatn Nature baths is around 61 USD per ticket. Please note, the tour does not include pick-up /drop-off services at the airport. In this case, you would have to book a transfer to and from the airport.

- Arctic AdventuresOperator•Written July 2025

- Arctic AdventuresOperator•Written July 2025
Unfortunately, the minimum age requirement is 8 years old. We cannot allow younger participants, that have not reached the minimum age requirement, join the tour. Most of our multi-day tours have minimum age requirement of at least 6-8 years old. We recommend checking day tours.

Asked on July 14th, 2025I'm very interested in your 6–10 day group tour to Iceland in August 2025 for 1 adult and 2 children (ages 8 and 11). I have a few questions: 1. What are your available departure dates in August 2025 for Iceland tours with pricing and itinerary? 2. Could you please confirm total cost split (adult vs child pricing)? Are children charged the same or do you offer discounted rates? 3. We follow a vegetarian diet and would prefer Indian-style meals. - Are there vegetarian cuisine daily? - Could you provide a sample menu? 4. Itinerary pacing: Is the daily schedule child-friendly? Are there breaks built in for kids? Could you provide the itinerary for the tour 5. Inclusions: Do costs cover - Airport transfers, accommodation, all meals? - Any entrance fees (e.g. Blue Lagoon, boat rides, glacier tours)? 6. Comfort & logistics: - What age restrictions apply for activities like glacier walks or ice caves? - Do you provide child seats/restraints in the transport? 7. Family room options: - Do you have family room options available? 7. Cancellation policy and deposit: - How much is the deposit and when is the final payment due? - What is your cancellation/reschedule policy
- Arctic AdventuresOperator•Written July 2025
We have lots of dates available to start your tour in August: 4, 6, 7, 8, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 22, 23, 26, 27,28, 29, 30, 31. The total price for 3 tickets is around 5793 EUR (3476 Eur/Adult + 2x 2317 Eur/child). The child's ticket is a little bit lower than of adult's ticket. Unfortunately, we do not offer additional discounted rates.
Regarding meals, you will be able to select the most suitable food options for yourselves. Breakfasts will be served at the hotels you will be staying at during your tour, in a buffet style. For lunch, the guide will stop at gas stations, caffees or restaurants. Dinners will be served at the hotels in which you will be staying at during the tour. Unfortunately, we cannot provide any sample menus. Please note, breakfast is included in the price of the tour, however, lunches and dinners are covered by customers themselves.
As the tour is more of a sightseeing adventure, the group will spend 20-50 minutes at each location. Unfortunately, as it is a group tour, we do not have any additional breaks for children, yet, our tour is balanced enough to have enough time to explore each location, use the bathroom facilities and take some photos.
The Glacier hike that is already included in the price of the tour has a minimum age requirement of 8 years old.
We have booster seats for children, however, we ask our customers to reach out to us and inform us whether they will need a booster seats for their children, so that the guide would have it during the tour, otherwise, it would not be provided.
As for family rooms, we do not offer such option, however, as there are 3 of you traveling, we could arrange a triple room. Yet, it is worth mentioning, that there are only a few triple rooms available at the hotels, especially during summer.
Our cancellation policy allows you to cancel the tour up to 14 days before the tour and get a full refund. If cancelled later than 14 days before the tour but no later than 2 days before the tour, you would be eligible for 50% refund and if cancelled 2 or less days before the tour, unfortunately, we will not be able to offer any refund.

Asked on July 12th, 2025I'm looking to do this trip in November, do you have a recommended packing list for this time of year please?
- Arctic AdventuresOperator•Written July 2025
Autumn is a wonderful time to visit Iceland, as it marks the beginning of the Northern Lights season. This small-group tour is perfect for travelers with limited time who still want to experience the highlights of Iceland. It includes some of the country's most iconic sights—majestic waterfalls, a thrilling glacier hike, and a visit to an ice cave within Vatnajökull, Europe's largest glacier.

Traveler•Written July 2025I'm interested in the 7 Day complete Iceland tour and are wanting to know if you have a packing list.
- Arctic AdventuresOperator•Written July 2025
Layering is key—you will only need warmer clothing for the winter and lighter clothing for the summer. Your wardrobe for Iceland should be chosen for its usefulness, not for its appearance. Start with the essentials: Base layer (Moisture-wicking), Thermal underwear (wool or synthetic), Mid-layer (Insulating comfort), Outerwear (Weather protection), Waterproof hiking boots, Swimsuit, and important accessories like electronics, power adapter, and reusable water bottle.

Asked on July 10th, 2025The tour looks great, but my daughter wants the boat ride on the glacier lagoon; it looks like this tour does not include that????
- Arctic AdventuresOperator•Written July 2025
Unfortunately, the tour is not included in the 7-day Complete Iceland Tour as we only spend 20-50 minutes at each location. However, we encourage our customers to check with their guides whether it would be possible to join the Amphibian Boat tour during their stop at Jokulsarlon, whether it would be possible to join the adventure as it only takes around 30 minutes, and if the group has enough time, it could be possible to joint it. Please note, in this case, you would have to purchase the tickets on the spot.
