- BCBryan· June 1st, 2025Great tour of the sights, particularly the Golden Circle southern region of Iceland. Guide very knowlegeable and capable.Show moreTrip date: May 2025
- AAnonymous· April 21st, 2025Really enjoyed the five day tour and saw some fabulous nature and scenery. My only criticism is that we did see a lot of things duplicated like many beaches and the driver was sometimes using his mobile phone and driving with one hand which with some very high winds was a little alarming.Show moreTrip date: April 2025
- DMDaniela· April 20th, 2025Automatic translation available in English. View in EnglishUnfortunately, we were told right at the start of the tour that we wouldn't be able to see any auroras. In the end, we did see them, but we didn't actively look or drive to a nearby, cloudless area where we could have seen them much better and more spectacularly. After dropping off at our accommodation, we had to take care of ourselves. Therefore, the term "Northern Lights tour" does not fit for this. However, the landscape and everything else was spectacular.Show moreTrip date: April 2025
- CBCheryle· April 8th, 2025Amazing - well organised, punctual and wonderful tour operatorsShow moreTrip date: March 2025
- CGChristopher· March 30th, 2025A nicely planned trip with a full itinerary. As an observation, a trip with Northern Lights in the title should have a dedicated plan to search for the lights. Each night the response from our guide was, “Be on the lookout tonight and let the group know if you see them.” I thought the food at the hotel Geirland was overpriced and limited in options. The tour itself was nice, and I am glad I took it. Others should be aware of what you may experience.Show moreTrip date: March 2025

Marilyn· February 14th, 2025We had the 5 day tour which was broken down to a 2 day & a 3 day tour. The 3 day tour got cancelled due to weather & it left us stranded to find a hotel for 2 nights. I enjoyed the 2 day tour with our tour guide who was very helpful, but the whole tour in general could use a good update on communication. To start, I had no idea on the hotel arrangements for the last day. I've traveled a lot of different tour groups & each one had one thing in common. the first day of the tour is considered the day before the actual tour starts & the last day always ends with breakfast/checkout day. This way everyone is at the same hotel for pickup. The other thing is that there was no dinner included at the hotels that are very remote. We were stuck with very expensive bad food. Needless to say, I wasn't impressed with Arctic Adventures.Show moreTrip date: February 2025- KBKaren· October 5th, 2024Our guide was quite knowledgeable and talked a lot about his personal life experiences living and working in IcelandShow moreTrip date: September 2024

Trip date: September 2024 - Doug· September 9th, 2024My wife and I thought the whole experience was wonderful. The Mercedes van was comfortable and the hotels we stayed in were as well. Thrush our guide was very attentive and shared his vast knowledge of the land of Icelandic tales and facts. Breakfast was included but lunch and dinner were not. At dinner we would all sit together and share stories. Great Adventure!!Show moreTrip date: September 2024

Crystal
Asked on May 4th, 2025I am looking at options for 4 adults viewing the highlights of Iceland, including the northern lights, glaciers.
Arctic AdventuresOperator•Written May 2025The 5-day Snaefellsnes, South Coast and Northern Lights tour is a great option! Our five-day tour from West to East is a great way to explore some of the most staggering and coveted sights in Iceland. Snaefellsnes Peninsula, named the ultimate winter destination by Travel & Leisure, invites you on a journey through unique and offbeat rural landscapes.

Asked on April 25th, 2025Are the tours compatible for singles and in booking when should I plan my flights to the destination and return
- Arctic AdventuresOperator•Written April 2025
Our tours are suitable for solo travelers. If you want to enjoy the comfort of your own room, you would have to select the additional extra - single room supplement. If you are fine with sharing the room with another traveler of the same gender, you can skip on adding the single room fee to the booking. We recommend arriving to the country on a day before and leaving on a day after the tour. We only provide accommodation for the duration of the tour.

Asked on March 28th, 2025Does this tour travel for the entire five days together with the same group and not get combined with other groups or spit up?
- Arctic AdventuresOperator•Written March 2025
The tour consists of two adventures - 2 and 3 day tours. The group will split after the 1st part of 5-day tour is finished and you will join a new group on the 2nd part of the tour. However, even though that the groups change a little bit, our customers still manage to bond and enjoy their adventure.

Cynthia
Asked on March 11th, 2025Do you have a way to do this or do you have an alternate tour that ends either the 19th late?
- Arctic AdventuresOperator•Written March 2025
Unfortunately, the 5-day tour returns to Reykjavik on the evening of the 20th of June. We would recommend looking at a 4-day tour (South Coast, Ice Cave, Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon & West Iceland) that is very similar, but lasts one day less and you would be returning to Reykjavik on the evening of 19th of June.
