- MMMarie· November 8th, 2025Very good selection of a diversity of geographical and environmental features and sights which represented the nature and culture of Iceland. The guides leadership, knowledge and love of his country contributed to quality and enjoyment of the tourShow moreTrip date: October 2025
- Stephanie· November 4th, 2025The tour and what you saw was great, however the guide I had wasn’t great. Zero information given, lack of food options and we didn’t really know what was on the agenda for the day. I think my experience would have been totally different if I had a different guide. (I have provided specific feedback directly to the tour operator) Food options - some of the hotels are in the middle of no where - so you are limited with the food option of the hotel only. If you are picky, I’d recommend getting food options at the supermarket or gas station. Hotels you stayed at were good - clean and had everything you need. You get to the hotels early evening around 5pm ish and then leave around 8am the next day. Akuryri is a cute town - do some research on what you’d like to see here as this is the only town you’ll visit with stuff to do. (The rest are super small with not much going on in them) The tour visits a thermal spa lagoon - they charge for towels, so BYO if you want to avoid the extra charges. (There isn’t anything to do at this stop except for the spa lagoon, even though the guide references you can explore the town) You are on the bus for a long time. And the ground in the bus gets wet and dirty - consider bringing a bag cover to protect your backpack - I didn’t the first day and the bottom of my backpack was wet. (The overhead compartment doesn’t fit much). I would have done my own driving if I was more confident in driving in the snowy conditions. If you are confident in doing so, I’d recommend you look at this as an alternative.Show more

- Pam· September 2nd, 2025I completed this 6 day tour in late July. What a truly amazing experience. I cannot recommend this tour highly enough. The driver/guide was amazing and the sights that we saw were truly magical. There we 18 of us in a very comfortable mini van. The accommodation choices were great as well.

- CVCha· July 28th, 2025Overall, the trip is good. However, one thing I want to mention is that the driver drove a little too fast. We drove along the coastline and the roads are narrow, up and down all the time. Many are gravel roads. There is not room on the side of the roads if vehicle slips. It was very dangerous.Show moreTrip date: July 2025
- 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

Kristina
Asked on October 28th, 2025I'm planning to visit Iceland at the end of March next year, is this a good time to do this tour? Are all the activities listed in the description included in the final price? Can you provide me more details about the itinerary and the accommodations?
Arctic AdventuresOperator•Written October 2025Yes, the end of March is a great time to join this tour, you'll enjoy beautiful winter landscapes, longer daylight hours, and still have a chance to see the Northern Lights. All major activities listed in the tour description are included in the final price such ice cave visit (available October–April) and whale watching in North Iceland, but it does not include Forest Lagoon that is optional extra. Also, meals beyond breakfast are not included. Please kind note that the itinerary is subject to change based on weather, roads, glacier access etc. So while the major visits are listed, the exact route or what you'll do may vary. Breakfast is included each morning, and you'll stay in comfortable country hotels or guesthouses with private bathrooms. The exact accommodations may vary depending on availability.

Traveler•Written October 2025I'm considering booking the accommodation in Reykjavik city centre close to the tours pick up/drop off points, any recommendations?
- Arctic AdventuresOperator•Written October 2025
If you are looking for accommodation in Reykjavik, you may want to check and book the hotels that are set as our authorized pick-up/drop-off locations. By booking one of these, we would be able to pick you up and drop you off right at your hotel before and after your tour.

Traveler•Written October 2025As I'm planning doing some day trips from Reykjavik I've seen some tour operators offer pick-up and drop-off services at designated bus stops throughout the city. Is this your case as well?
- Arctic AdventuresOperator•Written October 2025
We do have more authorized pick-up locations including various hotels, bus terminals, bus stops, gas stations, and cultural landmarks throughout Reykjavik. Unfortunately, as this is an initial inquiry, we cannot send you the link so that you could check where exactly each pick-up location is located.

Asked on October 11th, 2025Is there an alternative activity if we choose not to do the 3 hour hike to the waterfall?
- Arctic AdventuresOperator•Written October 2025

Traveler•Written October 2025Can you tell me if the point where the walking tour leaves the bus is in or near a town where we could spend the time while others are walking.
- Arctic AdventuresOperator•Written October 2025
Would you be so kind to let us know what kind of 3 hour hike to the waterfall you meant in your previous message, as on this tour there is only 1 hike - and it is a glacier hike. It can be added as an extra or skipped if you book Standart Package of the tour.

Asked on October 10th, 2025wondering if you still have the around iceland group trip available as wont' come up on website. Also is this a group trip - and if a single traveller can I share with another solo to avoid a single supplement also able to go on 29th October
- Arctic AdventuresOperator•Written October 2025
We still have availability for both the 25th and 29th of October and you can book the tour directly on Tour Radar's website. If you are a solo traveler and you are fine with sharing your room with another female traveler, you can select twin room instead of single one.

Asked on October 7th, 2025is this legit?
- Arctic AdventuresOperator•Written October 2025
There is a great chance that the last ticket got sold when you were checking the availability of the tour on our website. It takes some time for this information to sync with other systems. Unfortunately, we do not have availability on the 14th of October, however, you could book the tour on the 15th.

Asked on September 25th, 2025Can a snorkeling tour in Silfra at Thingvellir National Park be incorporated into a multi-day tour?
- Arctic AdventuresOperator•Written September 2025
Snorkeling Tour in Silfra cannot be added to a standard multi-day tour due to the tour having a fixed itinerary. The customer can either book it separately for a date before/after their main booking or consider a custom tour instead.

Nancy
Asked on August 12th, 2025Do you recommend we fly in day before tour starts? What time does the tour start on 4/2/26? Can you suggest an affordable hotel for night of 4/1/26 from which we can get transports to the tour on 4/2/26?
- Arctic AdventuresOperator•Written August 2025
We recommend to fly in a day before and fly out on a day after the tour. You would have time to explore Reykjavik on your own or relax after your flight, before the tour and vice versa. We recommend booking hotels that are set as our authorized pick-up locations.

Carmen
Asked on August 9th, 2025Can you pick us up in Reykjavik at Hotel Fron on June 27, 2026 to start the tour? If not where is the closest pickup location to the hotel?
- Arctic AdventuresOperator•Written August 2025
Unfortunately, we're unable to offer pickup directly from Hotel Fron, as it is not one of our authorized pickup locations. However, the closest designated pickup point is Bus Stop #6 – Safnahúsið (The Culture House), which is conveniently located just a short 5-minute walk from your hotel. We recommend arriving at the bus stop a few minutes early to ensure a smooth start to your adventure.

Traveler•Written August 2025We are disembarking our cruise ship the morning of June 26, 2026. Can you pick us up at their docking location to start the tour. This way we could add another day to the tour.
- Arctic AdventuresOperator•Written August 2025
Unfortunately, we will not be able to pick you up directly at the disembarking location. However, we do have an authorized pick-up location at the Skarfabakki harbor. Please see the scheme of the harbor, you would be picked up from the Skarfabakki harbor - parking lot for pre-booked tours.

Asked on August 5th, 2025What time does the tour start on the first day?
- Arctic AdventuresOperator•Written August 2025
The pick-up starts at 8:00 AM, and we ask all of our customers to show up at 8:00 AM at their pick-up locations. The duration of the pick-up process is around 20-30 minutes. Once the process is done, the whole group departs for the tour. If you are planning to arrive to Reykjavik a few minutes past 8:00 AM, it would be great if you could inform us in advance, so that we could inform the guide to pick you up the last one.
