- CECharles· June 2nd, 2025Our guide (Carl) was wonderful. Personable, engaging, entertaining, solicitous - genuinely connecting with his group as individuals. Carl merits 5 stars. We expected the accommodations to be rustic, and they were, a bit more than expected. Space in rooms was sparse and clumsily arranged - one bathroom had the toilet paper dispenser so badly placed it made sitting on the toilet awkward. As 4 of 5 hotels we used were owned by Arctic Adventures, so they should be more aware of the comfort of the hotels.) I’d give 2 stars at best to the accommodations. The trip was well planed and the sites memorable - 4 1/2 stars.Show moreTrip date: May 2025
- HDHasan Ben· May 14th, 2025Great tour around Iceland. Our guide (Vicknar) was great. He made some additional stops at interesting places and gave us stories about his personal experiences growing up & living in Iceland. The planned sights visited were incredible and the hotels we stayed at were in great locations. The included activities were things you could only do in a handful of places like Glacier Hiking, Hiking to top of dormant Volcano Crater & Arctic Whale Watching Really enjoyed the stay and tour at the traditional Icelandic homestead. The museum was a pleasant surprise.Show moreTrip date: May 2025

Nuha· April 7th, 2025While I had high expectations for this trip, several issues significantly impacted my experience: • Transportation Issues: A mini bus was provided for 17 people, which was inadequate for a road trip requiring a minimum of 350 km a day. The vehicle was cramped and uncomfortable, making long journeys difficult for everyone involved. • Guided Tours: he guided tours did not meet the promised standards. Arctic Adventure provided us with a driver who also acted as the guide. While he was friendly and nice, he lacked guiding experience. We did not receive a professional morning briefing for the day, nor clear information throughout our journey. Many of our questions went unanswered, which diminished the overall experience. • Sightseeing and break stops: The time allocated for sightseeing and breaks was not planned professionally. Some locations required more time for proper enjoyment, while others were given excessive time. This led to missed opportunities to fully appreciate the beautiful stops we visited. Additionally, we had unnecessary stops at gas stations and supermarkets, which further detracted from our experience. This led to missed opportunities to appreciate the stunning scenery and attractions. • Activities cancellation: Unfortunately, our whale watching tour was canceled due to bad weather. However, the way this cancellation was managed was not professional. We had a night in the lovely town of Akureyri, but due to a late arrival, we didn’t have a chance to explore. We noticed poor weather conditions in the morning and suggested to our guide that we check for alternative plans, like enjoying sometime in the town before proceeding. The guide assured us the weather was fine for whale watching. After a 30-minute drive, we were informed that the tour had been canceled with no alternative options provided. We ended up spending the day wandering between supermarkets, which was very disappointing given our expectations for this trip. • Customer Service: When I reached out for assistance during the trip, the response was unsatisfactory. Despite marking my emails as urgent, I did not receive a same-day response. There was no direct contact number provided for emergencies, and my inquiries were largely ignored. This left me feeling unsupported while dealing with unexpected service issues that I had paid for. • After-Sales Service: I sent multiple complaint emails with several reminders but received no response. While I received prompt replies before the sale, after-sales communication was nonexistent. This lack of support has been very frustrating. • Accommodation: The accommodation was acceptable and met my expectations These issues not only detracted from my overall enjoyment but also led to significant inconveniencesShow more

- Ruyi· March 9th, 2025I had such an amazing experience on this tour! Our guide Karl is the best tour guide one can ask for! Knowledgeable, kindhearted and so so funny!

- Laurie· December 10th, 2024This tour was more than I could have hoped for. Although the northern lights weren’t their most vibrant, this tour had beautiful beaches with ice, a fun 4wd in snow out to an ice caves, humpback whales, the historical Wilderness Center, a spa, a horse farm and the most wonderful and thoughtful guide, Hjalti.

- Safia· November 4th, 2024The best tour I've ever been on hands down! Iceland's beauty exceeded my expectations (I had a feeling that was going to happen) but the overall was made a million times better by our guide Vjeran, who squeezed in many extra stops along the way (plus he was an incredible selfie stick!). His passion and love for his role and Iceland was infectious and energizing. Our entire group is already discussing returning to do this tour again in the summer; if that doesn't speak to the phenomenal time we had, I don't know what will. 10000000000% recommend!Show moreTrip date: October 2024

Asked on April 27th, 2025I wonder what accommodation is included. If the tour departs from Reykjavik June 11 and we are instructed to arrive a day earlier, is the night from June 10 to June 11 is in the tour price? Same about arrival back. Tour returns back June 16 late, right. Are the night June 16 to 17 and the breakfast June 17 included?
Arctic AdventuresOperator•Written April 20256 Day - Around Iceland Adventure include 6 days and 5 nights. If you will start the tour from 11th of June, the first night with accommodation included in the price will be from 11th to 12th. In this case the last day of the tour will be 16th of June and the accommodation from June 16th to 17th and the breakfast June 17th will not be included in the price

Asked on March 6th, 2025Is there any way to know the hotel names in this itinerary?
- Arctic AdventuresOperator•Written March 2025
The hotels for the 6-day tour are booked according to availability, which is why we cannot tell you exactly what hotels are going to be booked for your tour. The hotels we choose are nice country hotels, all with private bathrooms, usually away from light pollution (so on the right conditions you can see the Northern Lights).

Asked on March 4th, 2025What level of fitness is required? Hiking up glaciers etc.
- Arctic AdventuresOperator•Written March 2025
We do welcome participants of all ages older than the listed minimum age for each tour. We have people of ages ranging from 8-99 years joining our multi-day tours. Our average group usually consists of participants between the age 20-55 years. We do get a lot of solo travellers joining our tours, as well as families and friends. This tour is suitable for most people in fair condition. If you have difficulties participating in any of the activities included in the tour, for example, a glacier activity, you are more than welcome to skip it. You can explore your surroundings in the meantime or wait elsewhere. Our guide should be able to drop you off at a nearby place where there are some services available.

Traveler•Written April 2025There is 6 of us wanting to do this tour not the one I originally chose. We wanted From Sunday 5 Apr, 2026 To Friday 10 Apr, 2026. Notice the price is $2930 but you have it on special for $ 2500 if we book it for 2025. So since we would book a year early can you do the cheap price for us or should we wait till next year and get a discount then.
- Arctic AdventuresOperator•Written April 2025
The price for the 6 Day Around Iceland tour for 2025 from April 5th is 2048.41$. The price for the same tour in 2026 is the same. If you book this tour with us, we will be able to offer you a 5% discount.
