The last part is that our tour bus had some issue with the heat. We basically stayed bundled up and were fine. A couple of the other folks were getting pretty feisty over it. Luckily by then we had replaced all of my girlfriend\'s clothing.

Conclusion:
The sites were all awesome and hitting the Golden Circle and Silfra in a single day was perfect for our schedule. I wish we had a little better understanding of the dressing process at Silfra and wish that we did a better job getting my girlfriend into completely dry clothes. Our guide as Silfra (Valerio) was AWESOME!

Arctic Adventures upgraded me to the full day Golden Circle tour on another day and luckily I had a spare day to slot this in. If you have the time I would suggest giving more time to the Golden Circle as it deserves it. I have rated against primarily the snorkelling but also allow for customer service and subsequent tour that worked in my favour.
Transfers were done by Peter and well arranged to ensure we got timely use of rest rooms without queues. As with all other tours by this company everything is well explained on the journey. Luckily it was not raining at Silfra as you need to change in the car park and I am not sure what the provision is for wet weather; maybe they allow use of the vans. Our snorkelling guide was Hugo who explained everything and helped us kit up. You wear a base layer (t shirt and tracksuit bottoms) and are provided with a thermal under-suit and commercial drysuit. You also get a neoprene hood and gloves together with mask, snorkel and fins. Additional bands are placed around the neck seal and wrist seals if necessary to try and prevent leakage. It is possible for minor leaks into the suit so you are advised to take a towel and spare clothes. I was lucky and stayed completely dry.
It is a short walk to the entry point which is a steel staircase. The water in the fissure is glacial melt-water filtered through volcanic rock for 100+ years and is gin clear. The depths vary throughout the fissure which marks the divide between two tectonic plates but you only float and agree not to attempt free diving. There is a slight current running which means little physical exertion until you reach the lagoon area where you have to start swimming to reach the exit point which is again steel stairs. The walk back is slightly longer. You spend roughly 45 mins in the water and despite warning of cold I have to say at no point did I feel cold or numb.
Our group was only small with Hugo leading plus 5 customers. I was a diving instructor many years ago and appreciate the difficulty of leading groups on monotonous dives where it can be like herding cats. Hugo did a great job of keeping everyone together and maintaining a cheerful disposition. He took plenty of photos of the group that were included as part of the tour and made available online. Credit to Arctic Adventures as plenty of other companies might see this as an excuse to exploit the customer. I have attached some photos and credit Hugo for these in part. Nice end after getting out of the diving kit is the hot chocolate and biscuits.
Without a doubt a highlight of my holiday.',5.0,'2021-11-21T07:24:55Z','REV-PF+3mbYOwn5W+kftCTk44TyA6cdZyE8QGvZGf5EQVJ8=','en','CgMn','TRIPADVISOR'),('5590LAVA','SuperSaver: Small Group Silfra Snorkeling & Lava Caving Adventure from Reykjavik','Black and Blue Arctic Adventure!','The Arctic Adventures Black and Blue tour. 

The Lava Tunnel experience was excellent. Our guide was a very knowledgeable Greek chap named Dimitri who made the trip very entertaining. The tour provides crampons and a light/helmet for the walk into the history of a lava tunnel. Many photo opportunities and a fantastic time had by all. 

In the afternoon after a lunch break we transferred to the Silfra fissure for snorkelling. Theresa was an exceptional guide who kept us safe and entertained. The preparation is very thorough: personal base layer, warm body suit and a well fitted dry suit. Gloves, hat, mask, snorkel and flippers and we were ready to go after about 45 minutes. The water is so clear. The equipment kept us buoyant and warm. After initial instructions we drifted with the current through the fissure with amazing views below us. The team take photos for downloading later so you don’t need to take a camera if you don’t want to. After 30 minutes or so we were out of the water, heading back to get into warm clothes for hot chocolate and a snack.  This is an unforgettable experience that we all enjoyed (13-51y!).

Before I write my review it\'s EXTREMELY important to remember where you are visiting if you are planning to visit Iceland. The weather WILL affect your trip in some fashion!! That is a certainty. Don\'t complain on tripadvisor if the weather interferes with your trip!! For instance, if you choose to SNORKLE in Arctic temperatures you are GOING TO GET COLD!!!  If you travel in Iceland in winter expect to get cold and wet occasionally!!! Common sense really!!! 

Arctic Adventures displayed the type of professional yet fun service that many companies cannot manage to achieve. The company has put together tours that are entertaining, informational and absolutely great craic!! 
 Our guides on our trips were simply fantastic. 
HILMAR took care of us on our trip to the Katla Ice Caves, his driving skill in the most challenging conditions cannot be understated. I drive in similar conditions myself and would like to say his driving was impressive!! He kept the whole group entertained and was an absolute gentleman. He made a long day on the bus in awful weather a huge amount of fun!! Thank you HILMAR, I hope you enjoy your salmon fishing this year!! 

Siggi was our guide the following day for our trip snorkeling to the Silfra Fissure. Siggi is a GEM!! His attention to us, care and consideration was beyond belief. He spent an age absolutely freezing himself, helping everyone else get dressed first. He went WAY above and beyond. That was not easy and his attitude never once changed. He was just fantastic!! 

It\'s so pleasing to see that the customer actually matter to this company and this shows via their guides. 
I am going to be returning to Iceland next year and will spend the full week with the company due to the service I received this time around.

We were due to go to the Blue Lahoon but was cancelled due to the seismic activity so I booked the Super Jeep Northern Lights trip instead.

We were picked up shortly after 9.30pm in the Super Jeep- which was amazing.

Our guide \'H\' was excellent. He had a great sense of humour and a really good knowledge of the lights. We drove a relatively short distance and H identified some activity. Hit a slight technical hitch with the Jeep as the passenger door stopped opening so a replacement was called in whilst we waited for the lights to appear.

After a short period of time the activity that H identified came to fruition and the lights began to show- mostly white to the naked eye but clearly green on cameras/phones.

In addition to photos that we took, H took some as well included some that had us in front of the lights which was greatly appreciated.

Hot chocolate and Brennivin was provided which warmed us up and then the replacement Super Jeep arrived. We set off again and only had to go a short distance before we spotted the lights again so a second opportunity to take photos.

We returned to the Jeep at midnight and began the journey back to Reykjavik. I can\'t stress enough just how good this trip was - I suffer from a disability and H assisted me getting off the Jeep, he took care when taking our photos to make sure stayed within my comfort area and also took some great photos of a couple who got engaged whilst we were watching the lights (a great memory for them) as well as keeping us greatly entertained.

The Bristo was easy to find and we ate there afterwards. It was really good. There are bathrooms at the pick up point, you will want to stop there prior to the tour.

The tour picks you up in white enclosed jeeps. The drive is about 30 minutes to the caves. Once we went off road it is bumpy, but beautiful seeing snow covered mountains, volcanic rock/dust and the glacier. The ice caves are truly amazing!!

It is a pretty good walk up hill to get to the crampons. Once we got those on it was much easier to walk on the ice and snow. The wind is an issue when it comes up, so be sure to wear rain/wind pants as an extra layer of clothing. 

It is so cool when you get up into the caves!

I have nothing but praise for our tour guides. They both went above and beyond their normal duties to help with my grandson who has balance issues and has to hold on to someone on uneven surfaces.

We don’t usually do tours to be on our own schedule but Iceland winter (and darkness) changed our minds this trip.  I looked at lots of other operators and chose Arctic.

They were amazing on communicating before the tour.  I had several questions and got responses very quickly.   Few days out, I called with questions and got super helpful answers immediately.

Our 4 day tour is really like a 3 day and then 2 other tours the last day.  That was fine though it does complicate logistics on the last day as you need to move hotels with your own reservation (for the last night after the Volcano hike) and don’t know your last hotel until a week or so out.

G was our guide on the 3 day tour and he was amazing.  We had a small group mini bus with lots of stops along the way.  He talked to us about Iceland and explained lots about the scenery.  Bus was very comfortable and G really made the trip!  The glacier walk is definitely a highlight. One note - since it was winter the hotels and some stops were covered in ice and very treacherous.  G had crampons for us - but those places didn’t really take care of paths ( this is not Arctics Fault, just something to be aware of).

The last day Bus Travel Iceland does the Volcano hike.  If you’re reasonably fit and hike often it’s a pretty easy hike with some steep sections, totally worth it to do!

We got picked up after that hike by our Magical Aurora tour guide.  Again very punctual and great service!  We even got to see the Aurora.

Cons: The volcano tour is a bit hyped in the since that there is no erupting volcano (\"only active volcano\")  but the brochures/pics would have you think you will see it Erupting.  Very inflexible after you have booked. e.g. we didn\'t want to do the separate volcano tour but they would not swap it out for any other similar tour they were doing.

Our tour did NOT start out well. We were  waiting outside the hotel at 7:55am for an 8am pickup at the Hilton. At 8:30 I see I received a message on TripAdvisor saying they waited and left without us. I then had the front desk call Arctic Adventures and they basically suggested I was lying and not outside at the time of pickup. Front desk at the Hilton vouched for us by telling them  we have been outside and no Arctic Adventures van has showed up. I spoke with Sare several times who was not very helpful at all. Eventually a man from the office called me and had a driver from a different tour pick us up and take us to the first stop where we met up with Casper and our bus. 

The sights on the tour were fantastic. Reynisfjara black sand beach, DC-3 crash and the glacier were great. Again Casper saved the day for Arctic Adventures. It appears management does not run a quality operation, but the two tour guides we encountered were excellent. I can’t say I’d recommend using this company again.

We then went back to the glacier (a stop which stated 20 minutes on our itinerary), to be told we would be there for between 3-3.5 hours waiting for the hikers to finish. When I asked the tour guide to clarify and said we were not told of a 2-3 hour stop he merely shrugged his shoulders at me. There wasn’t even a restaurant or gift shop at the glacier to kill time!! To say we were angry is an understatement. I messaged Arctic Adventures whilst we were there and was fobbed of with ‘sometimes weather can caused perceived delays’. My friend and I looked through previous reviews and saw other people complaining about 2 trips being merged without them being told, causing long and unexplained delays. This is clearly what had happened with us as well. This delay also meant that we arrived at the last waterfall 5 minutes before sunset and had to rush to get photos before we lost the light.

Met up with 14 strangers from all over the world at a bus stop in Reykjavik and we spent the next few days together experiencing the most incredible scenery and memorable experiences together. The trip was totally stress free as Arctic Adventures had taken everything into consideration and it all ran very smoothly. We did not have to worry about anything except hiking from one hut to the next. 

Our guides were informative and professional. I have to give a special mention to Indra as I could not have competed the trek without his encouragement and always at my side at some of the trickier descents. I was the oldest of the group with a tricky knee and Indra without fuss would appear at my side just for the descents - forever grateful for his guidance and reassurance. The trek was unbelievable with stunning scenery and as I mentioned before a trip of a lifetime. Even the longest day was manageable and I felt  a great sense of achievement when we competed it (thanks once  again to Indra!)

The one small negative is that the vegetarian option meal was not up to standard and not properly cater for but I am sure Arctic Adventures will improve on this.

This trek was on my bucket list ‘ of things to do’ and it certainly did not disappoint. I would highly recommend Arctic Adventures  and I am already looking forward to a return trip with their company to another venue in Iceland.',5.0,'2023-07-04T03:01:14Z','REV-B+MarDOftI8n1dnUTPqIxuxi+ESV9FIYckLM+MiGX+k=','en','Caroline H','TRIPADVISOR'),('5590P118','3-Day Hiking Tour in Landmannalaugar from Reykjavik','An unforgettable adventure with an awesome guide!','My friends and I had a great time on the Landmannalaugar trail this July. Caroline was an excellent camp host/guide and made the experience a more engaging and interesting one for myself and my entire party. She has a great attitude and was fun to chat with on the trail as she gave me and my companions the history and the geological background of many of the natural attractions that we saw. I had some ankle injury issues on the trek and Caroline made sure that the group didn\'t outpace me after I was slowed down by the sprain, which I very much appreciated. I would recommend a hiking adventure with Caroline as a guide to any traveler looking to get a little more out of their Icelandic trek than they would be able to get themselves. 

The trek itself was beautiful as we saw some amazing sights including glaciers, volcanoes, and multicolored canyons. There are many different kinds of terrain so travelers don\'t get too used to trekking through snow or sand or rock or earth. The sleeping situation is tough as there are a large number of people and all of their luggage crammed into a fairly small sleeping space. It would be nice for the Icelandic government to build an additional hut at each location to provide more lodging so that people don\'t have to be as tightly packed; 16+ people to a room is too many. I would also like to formally request pickles get added to the sandwich menu.

I would recommend the Landmannalaugar trail to anyone who wants to experience this part of the island with a team of like-minded travelers and hikers.

Our hike was a scenerie of stunning Icelandic nature. It was a nice trek, and neither myself or my boyfriend was challenged physically. We did find the distance fair, but with our prebooked 4 days of hike, we regret we missed the last two days, that most of our group was on…

Our tour guide was top. Always positive and motivating. We had great fun in the group. Everything was perfect. Few things to mention which should be displayed in the tours website: you sleep in a dormitory with 40 (!) people, very narrow. Earplugs needed! You could need some river-crossing-shoes. You are allowed to take the backpack AND another luggage which stays in the hut. To get to the toilet you need to go out of the hut into the facilities shared with the campsite. For warm water you need to pay 500 ISK. This is all fine but should be noted in the description.

One thing we didn’t like, but no fault of arctic adventures, but the hut’s administration: Even though you stay 2 nights in the hut you get kicked out of the hut during cleaning time. No problem during normal weather- you will be out anyway. But we were kicked out into the yellow warning rainstorm and even our guide couldn’t convince the cleaning team.

Saw some amazing sights, from black beaches to volcanoes, glaciers to huge cliffs with nesting birds, and for the most part the weather cooperated too.

As we were hiking up, Nik constantly cleared out some larger rocks that obstructed the paths for us to walk through. He expertly guided us through which area was safe and which wasn’t. He kept pointing out the unique features like ice crevasses, mountain formations, and providing us lots of information about the surrounding area. The views/vistas from the top and while hiking up were amazing. We had so much fun on the glacier. Nik even helped take some fun photos of us so it looked like we were ice climbing!

Consider it fun education. The effects of global warming were very evident when you take this tour and will make you think about how you treat the planet. 

I had a difficult time deciding what tour group to use for this adventure, and even what city I wanted to have a glacier hike start from.  This tour is away from the Golden Circle only visitors and seemed more genuine.  It was perfect for our family.  

You meet at the huts of the Skaftafell Visitor Center where they outfit you with gear.  From there, you are driven in buses to the site of the glacier that you will be hiking.  The bottom of the glacier is dirt, the first sign of the glacier melting.  You follow a trail up to where the ice is stable.  The guides go slow, but you must be in some physical shape to proceed.  We saw a couple of people choosing to go back down before they even got to the ice.  Once on the ice, the guides take good care teaching you how to walk around, and digging out steps when needed to traverse to a new level.  Our guides were Kira, Anna, and Kami and they were tremendous.  Although the trip is labeled a \"hike\", once on the ice you stay in a small area of the glacier and don\'t go very far.  You take pictures.  

Our group had 3 guides for 10 people.  You could see other groups on different areas of the glacier.  There is a longer tour offered that I considered, but this one was perfect.     We did not need any more time.',5.0,'2024-01-23T17:02:33Z','REV-LHlIjX6Iw4C1XqEfpBhHU81mFZCI+zdEyKV7sHnrL9I=','en','SGS1260','TRIPADVISOR'),('5590P29','Small Group Glacier Wonders Adventure From Skaftafell','A perfect activity','Our guide is wonderful!

Our guide Wawa was amazing! He made sure safety was first & everyone enjoyed exploring the glacier as much as possible while taking good care of all of us & constantly yet seamlessly keeping an eye on everyone in the group. He\'s very knowledgeable and very easy going and easy & pleasant to talk to. He shared a lot of his experiences about living in Iceland, climbing the glaciers & frozen waterfalls & that passion was contagious. I have been fascinated with glaciers for a long time but now I\'m becoming seriously obsessed. Thanks Wawa for sharing your passion about the glaciers, it really resonated with me. Time to think about the next expedition or maybe even ditching the corp job for a more nature lifestyle filled with glaciers.
Practical: about 20min drive on a cool giant bus, then short 5 min up the glacier moraine & debris, then put on crampons with good instructions & supervision & checking everyone. Then up to the glacier plateau part & up there walk around & explore the crevasses & moulins walking up & down in crampons which was fun to do since I\'ve never tried it. Enough time for pictures, be sure to book this tour when the weather is comfortable for you. I am so glad that I checked it beforehand - ended up exploring the glacier in great light during a nice sunset, and the colors were otherworldly which I as an artist thoroughly enjoyed. Another recommendation: wear high socks, it will help with crampon straps. Enjoy, it will be amazing!

While the glacier is stunning and the views are spectacular, there are a few things to note about the tour.

First, get there early.  When we booked, it said to arrive 15 minutes early.  The email the night before said to arrive right at 10am.  Don’t trust the email the night before.  We arrived at 10 and were the last people to arrive and felt rushed to get our gear squared away.

Second, we are by no means unfit.  We both work out and have great cardio function.  But…be advised that the pace of the hike is the same speed as you would normally walk in a city with hills.  Our phones showed our average speed at 2.7mph.  We live in a flat area at low elevation, so we had some trouble keeping up.  As a result, we didn’t truly have time to focus on the beauty around us.

Our guide, Gaia (I’m sure I spelled that wrong) was wonderful and very knowledgeable.  We did learn a lot from her!

At the end of the day, be sure you’re clear on what the tour will entail.

The extent of the “climbing” was less than two hours with a less than ideal guide from Italy with the rest if the time being dedicated to driving.
This is a very beginner experience so if you have ice climbing experience with gear I suggest you do it on your own. I brought my own gear and was not allowed to use it because of “insurance” reasons. I opted to sign a waiver for the insurance issue and was not offered one. The conversation between the guide and I went something like “you either use our gear or you can leave” leaving me forced to use their shotty gear or lose out on $500 US dollars. 
We were “allowed” to keep our nepal boots but those who did not bring mountaineering boots had to pay 1000 icelandic for rentals when the site states that rentals are included in the pricing. 
Overall not a great trip if you have ice climbing experience. Use another company that will allow you to use your own gear if you’re bringing it with you or just venture out on your own.',1.0,'2024-01-13T09:11:05Z','REV-rBJrshTUdnPfEgFtFcg4ctTdu4aOdAredZL/n91bwTU=','en','414jayo','TRIPADVISOR'),('5590P32','Small Group Glacier Experience from Solheimajokull Glacier','WOW!!','Once in a lifetime opportunity to see a slowly disappearing glacier.

Our guides for the day were DM Dominica and Krisztian. Both fabulous at sizing you up and making the dive fun, safe and enjoyable. It was excellent to see the attention to safety as there was top cover, O2 and an emergency kit bought to the waters edge. 
Unfortunately my suit had a big leak so although I was warm enough… I was cold after 35 mins. However, they had a warm van for changing in and plenty of hot chocolate and biscuits post dive.

Had I known in advance both the divers and snorkelers almost do the same route my partner would have come with me for a snorkel. 

The dive is not stunning in the Red Sea / tropical category of vibrant life n colour but diving through the cracked fissures of the earth is incredible and we saw 1 large trout. 
Visibility was gin clear from filtered glacial waters and must have been at least 40m.

I can’t speak to how good or bad this tour was because we never went. There was a terrible rain storm with very high winds the day that we had booked our tour. We called Arctic Adventures multiple times and left messages, but no one answered or called us back. Finally, someone replied to our email (a half hour before the tour was supposed to leave). They told us that they would not reschedule us or provide any type of refund because the weather experts in Iceland deemed it “safe” to go, and Iceland is known for being rainy and windy. This seemed crazy because we couldn’t even leave our hotel safely, much less drive to the caves and go on a hiking tour. We continued arguing for days until someone from Arctic Adventures finally told us that our tour had gone as scheduled and was perfectly fine for everyone else except for us, so we had no grounds to dispute any charges. We asked 3 different times to speak to a manager, and not one representative would forward our request to their management team. We ended up booking another tour for the next day with a different company, which was fantastic. But here’s the kicker… the guides for the other company told us that we were the first tour to actually go out in the past couple of days because the run-off from the rainstorm was so bad that you couldn’t even reach the caves! This other company had issued full refunds for everyone who booked over the past couple of days. Afterwards, we talked to other local guides from different companies and found out that the trails to the caves were completely closed off for the past day because the entire area was flooded! Arctic Adventures is disgusting and I would not recommend them to my worst enemy. Don’t automatically trust them just because they are rated as one of the best. I don’t know how they don’t have terrible reviews, but there are plenty of other local companies who are wonderful and actually honorable.

Our Hungarian born guide was Monica. Two of the party  were travelling together and were disruptive from start to finish.

The rest of the party spent at least thirty minutes longer on the bus than necessary, just waiting around for them. As a group, we were appalled by their unrelenting bad behaviour towards Monica and lavish in praise of her response.

1. Exhausting bus trip (14-16 hours day trip from Reykjavik).
2. Landmarks full of other tourist groups arriving simultaneously. Made the whole experience feel very much like you\'re in a low rent film. (Wouldn\'t surprise me if I was visiting the Colosseum in Rome but one would expect a more authentic experience in Iceland)
3. Rent a car if you\'re over 1.85cm tall (6\') as you simply will not fit in the Mercedes people carrier buses they use. 
4. Semi-apocalyptic scenery outside the bus not the best for crunching miles anyway.
5. In a nutshell don\'t be swayed by the fantastic Instagram photos. Either rent a car and do your own sightseeing or book something more private and definitely more interactive. 
6. The driver I believe was trying his - almost -best but again I feel there is a lack of professionalism other well established tourist destinations have at hand.

Our guide, Thor, was really funny and personable, giving us lots of interesting information along the way. We saw fantastic scenery. There was a stop at a bakery early on (the best doughnuts I’ve ever had) and an additional stop to say a quick hello to some gorgeous Icelandic horses. Stokkur Geyser is a must-see, the entire site is really interesting and the geyser goes off as frequently as every 7 minutes or so. Thingvillier National Park is stunning, look out for the views of the lake from the minibus. It does get busy there but we waited until most of the crowds had set off before we walked down the path and it was much nicer. There’s a view of the house and church as well as endless miles of beautiful countryside.  A really peaceful and unusual place.

If you’re not used to hiking or climbing I’d suggest Arctic Adventures Katla ice cave tour. It’s an easy walk to some stunningly beautiful glacier.

The spot where we climbed the ice was at the highest point we reached on the glacier before we turned back. The climbing took up a decent chunk of the 4 and a half hours in total that we spent on the tour. We had a group of about 8, and our guide set up a rope above a moulin which is basically a well that water has melted a way. She lowered us down as far as we felt comfortable going and then let us climb up, which if you got to the bottom was a fair distance. It was an absolutely terrifying yet amazing experience. She’d also set up a safety line opposite the climb so that someone could clip in and take pictures of you safely. 

I’d climbed indoors a bit before and this helped slightly with being lowered down on a rope, it might be worthwhile going somewhere to experience that beforehand so you feel comfortable doing it on the ice, even though you’ll be in the very capable hands of your guide.

He is an excellent driver, but he is a terrible \"guide\". Never says \"good morning\", \"do you need something\"...His english pronunciation is terrible, unintelligible, so we missed a lot of information; if we asked him what he pretended to say he looked annoyed.
Never in a disposition to help, I aslked Thor to please open the trasnporter cart to take something from my suitcase and he got very mad about it.
He was meeting places and schedules in a very strictly manner, but he is very deficient when trying with humans. We think he could be an excellent worker with boxes, boxes don´t ask, boxes don´t bother.
The hotels of the tour were good with one exception: a rural house in middle of nowwhere was TERRIBLE ! Dark, with no door in the inside bathroom, no glasses in room to take water, no mirror in room... and extremely expensive !
Finally, we choose Iceland in winter so we could see the northern lights, we choose your tour because every day ended with the possibility to see them. NOTHING MORE FAR FROM REALITY.

Very bad customer service, complete disorganization and a lack of respect for their customers. I recommend avoiding booking with them and saving yourselves troubles and money. What was supposed to be a dream holiday (and in which we invested lots of money) ended up being a huge stress.

Me and my partner have booked a 5-Day - Snaefellsnes, South Coast, and Northern Lights, tour from Artic Adventures and we ended up not doing a lot of things that we were supposed to do: 
1st - on the second day of the tour, due to bad weather, we only did 1/3 of the programmed plan and we also missed the krauma geothermal baths for which we had already paid as an extra! We were dropped in Reykjavik at 12 pm and the company did not care to suggest any other program and did not even bother contacting us with apologies and to discuss about refund. I have sent them an email about this to which I never got a reply. 

2nd - for us, the highlight of these 5 days would be the scheduled glacier hiking and visit to an ice cave. But surprise surprise, we ended up not doing either! At the start of the tour our guide told us that since it was April, they had changed the program internally (without contacting us) to their summer program and the glacier hike was not part of it anymore. When I asked if it was due to safety reasons, the answer was that it was not, but it was only because they decided to change their program – This shows the lack of respect to the customers who booked one thing and ended up not getting it! Also, we were told to rest at ease that even if we would not do the glacier hike, we would be able to see it and have a nice experience in the Ice cave visit. 

3rd - we had been told that the ice cave visit would be done on the 5th and last day of the tour. However, on the 4th day of the tour when we were arriving to the hotel, our guide told us that the ice cave was cancelled, without providing any explanation besides that there was something wrong at the office and that we could either get refund or rebook for another day. After this, I have immediately called artic adventures, and the person that picked up said she wasn\'t aware of anything, and she would try to get more information. I have never heard back from her. Also, we have tried to search alternatives with other companies to ensure we could visit the ice cave, and requested to be dropped off in Vik, which was denied to us because they said the tour wouldn’t stop there (And on the 5th day of tour, we ended up stopping there after all for a long time). 
Since we have not heard anything back, we called again to request an explanation on the cancelled trip and to see if there were any alternatives. The person that answered said that she was aware of the situation, that she had got many calls from other clients about the same issue, but that nothing was cancelled, and the trip would go as planned and that the guide was misinformed. And that in case something was cancelled, we would get an email. 

To our surprise, on the next day, when we got on the bus to start the tour, the guide told us again that the ice cave visit was canceled, and we would go somewhere else instead. I demanded to know what was happening and the guide’s answer was that someone in the office made a mistake, booked our trip wrongly, so now they could not get any buses for us to go to the ice cave. 

While if a trip had been cancelled due to bad weather, as happened on the 2nd day of the tour we would understand, however, we cannot accept that a professional tour company makes such a big mistake letting the clients be highly penalized.  We did not get what we paid for and we felt we were mistreated and played with. 
In the final day of our tour, I sent an email asking for clarifications and refund and compensation. The only reply I got was that they would investigate and come back to me asap. After 15 days, 2 emails and a phone call, I did not get any reply yet. Moreover, I was told on the phone that this could take several weeks as my complaint was not the only complaint they have.',1.0,'2023-04-24T09:34:36Z','REV-hST6oUeu/H82VnBLOOdAuSKlWnbByz0qGfOBEfl6ImQ=','en','TBRBR-7','TRIPADVISOR'),('5590P70','5-Day West Iceland, Ice Cave and Northern Lights Adventure from Reykjavik','EXPENSIVE hop on hop off bus trip','Very disappointed with this trip!

Vatnajökull Ice Caves Tour by Arctic Adventures','At first, I saw a photo of the company\'s so-called SuperBlue IceCave and booked it at a high price of over US$ 1300 per person.

The 17 participants were divided into two groups, 8 and 9. The leading group was a young Native English Speaker, and the latter group was huge men, a woman who were unsure of trekking and non-Western couples. The explanation of the glacier was long, and we had to wait for the previous group to finish. We visited one small crack in the ice, and then were told explanations such as the retreat of the glacier endlessly, and precautions on how to walk, and were made to walk right and left on the glacier. In addition, the guide threw my ice axe and told me to go pick it up, which was very unpleasant because I was treated like a dog.

Then we finally reached the cave that the previous group had finished seeing, and just when I thought I could finally see the SuperBlue Ice Cave, the guide told us that the next group would come and that we would get off with the previous group. The rain lifted in the morning, but the weather had recovered, and the rainbow was clearing, so I thought that seeing the blue cave would be a long-held dream come true, but I can\'t believe it ended right in front of the cave. Even though I paid quite expensive fee for this Ice Cave and participated from far away, it was an unthinkable shock. If the weather is bad, I can still give up, but this kind of artificial manipulation is unacceptable and unforgivable.
Nothing but poor operation and discrimination at Arctic Adventures. The company states, \"* In case of bad weather when it is difficult to guide you to an alternative tour, a part of the tour price may be refunded.\" Even worse than bad weather. It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but such a man-made disappointment and humiliating tour is unforgivable. 　
The man in the second group also said, \" It’s interesting. It\'s just walking on the glacier.\"

Those participating in this English-speaking tour should be aware that not being fluent in English can cause tension and discomfort, as well as unfair injustice and discrimination based on age and country. 
However, in hindsight, the entrance to the second IceCave was also small, not as big as the one I saw on TV, called SuperBlue. The second IceCave may have been the same small ice crack as the first. The company then uses SuperBlue\'s photographs to make visitors think they are visiting, but in fact they are taking customers into the cracks of the ice. Isn\'t this a scam?

　参加者は17人で２グループに分けられた。先行グループは若いNative English Speakerで、後グループは巨体の男性、トレッキングが苦手そうな女性、非西洋人カップルだった。アイゼン、ヘルメット、ハーネス、ピッケルを装着し、氷河についての長い説明を聞いた後、やっと一つ小さな氷の割れ目に入った。出るとまた氷河の後退や歩き方の説明がつづき、延々と氷河の上を歩かされた。さらにガイドは私のピッケルを取り、投げてそれを拾いに行けなど、犬のような扱いをされ、非常にに不愉快だった。
　やっと２番目のIceCaveで前のグループが出て、いよいよ私たちの番という時に、ガイドが次のグループが来るので前のグループと一緒に降りると言い出した。朝からの雨もあがり、長年の夢がかなっていよいよSuperBlueが見られると思ったのに、信じられなかった。後組の男性も「It’s interesting. It’s just walking on the glacier」と言っていた。はるばるアイスランドに来て一生に一度のことなのに、このような人為的な失望感と屈辱を与えるツアーは許しがたい。
　このツアーに参加する人は、英語が堪能でないことや、また年齢や国によって不公平や差別を受け不愉快な思いをするかもしれない。
　しかし後になって落ち着いて考えると、２番目のIceCaveの入り口も小さく、いわゆるテレビで見たSuperBlueと言われるような大きな入り口ではなかった。２番目もはじめのものと同じ小さな氷の割れ目だったかもしれない。とするとこの会社はSuperBlueの写真を用いて、さも訪れるように思わせて、実際は小さな氷の割れ目に客を連れて行っている。これはまるで詐欺ではないだろうか。',1.0,'2023-01-21T11:28:50Z','REV-bFZ1yNq/K2qWnZderO/AXqttq1Ow5vNxtEwQcvhE/0w=','en','GlobeTrotting802738','TRIPADVISOR'),('5590P70','5-Day West Iceland, Ice Cave and Northern Lights Adventure from Reykjavik','A beautiful experience that will leave you wanting more!','An amazing collection of sights in a whirlwind tour of western and southern Iceland. You could easily spend 5 weeks exploring the same areas, as there seemed to be something gorgeous around every corner. Given that it\'s only 5 days, however, you have to expect that you won\'t be able to luxuriate in the beauty at every stop. Especially when you only have 5 or 6 hours of daylight to squeeze everything in each day!

With that in mind, our skilled and charming guide, Ronan, did a great job at maximizing our experiences. He was efficient with getting us to as many sights as possible, and gave great advice as how best to appreciate them within our limited time. There was clearly a lot more that he wanted to show us but didn\'t have the opportunity. Nonetheless, he managed to squeeze in a few extra little stops that made our tour even more special. A good guide makes all the difference, and I\'m glad that we had Ronan.

Also keep in mind that the winter weather in Iceland can be unpredictable. The first day of the tour and half of the second had to be significantly altered due to the road conditions, so we missed out on some of the sights. The company (and Ronan) scrambled to put together other activities for us. You can\'t blame them for the weather, so just be prepared if things change.',5.0,'2023-01-16T16:50:15Z','REV-WIXwZrHvIqiEuQi9mAw1imaL2RAMBlanyJBi+toO6fg=','en','asasas2014','TRIPADVISOR'),('5590P76','Northern Lights Minibus Tour from Reykjavik Including Free Photos','so happy...','After our endlessly fantastic 6-day trip around Iceland, there was just one thing missing from our bucket list: seeing the Northern Lights. That\'s why we added the day trip on the last evening and we were totally lucky. After about 1 hour of hoping and waiting in a slightly cloudy sky, we were able to see and enjoy the wonderful Northern Lights. In addition to a hot chocolate and cookies, there were lots of wonderful pictures available for download the very next day. Unfortunately, our guide didn\'t use a tripod for the pictures and the exposure of the people could have been more professional, but on the whole we were just happy that we could enjoy the lights.

The first tour was just as you would expect, I guess. We saw the lights a little, it was cold, and our guide took a pretty good picture of us. 
The second time we actually didn\'t see any northern lights but the tour was still super interesting, because our guide was extremely dedicated and tried everything to find the elusive aurora for us and explained where the lights would normally appear and when and how they form. I think he was even more disappointed than us when we had to turn back to Reykjavik emptyhanded after midnight. We could book another northern lights tour free of charge, after all. 
That rescheduled tour was then cancelled before noon of that day because of (understandably) bad weather and forecast. 
The once more rescheduled tour is the reason for the lower rating, because for some reason the pickup was delayed. We were called while waiting at the pick-up location and told that there would be a 30 minute delay. Over an hour later the bus finally came. By then we had all watched the aurora (in the middle of Reykjavik!) slowly disappear behind the clouds, and on the tour itself we barely saw more than a whisp of lights before the clouds covered almost the whole sky. While our guide promised to talk to his superiors about allowing us all to reschedule again, we have never been given the opportunity to do so. So this last tour was unfortunately somewhat disappointing.',3.0,'2024-03-31T12:06:19Z','REV-+msGYoDi2x4yh4POIzSxZtAUs52p9A4/CyAvHvoG/wE=','en','renac457','TRIPADVISOR'),('5590P76','Northern Lights Minibus Tour from Reykjavik Including Free Photos','The best experience','Hello, first I would like to say that I don\'t like taking private tours. But due to the special conditions of climate, soil, wind, volcano, for safety reasons I opted for 2 tours with Arctic Adventure. And they were the most beautiful and surreal walks. I know 53 countries around the world and most of them I took on my own. However, as previously mentioned, Iceland requires extra care if you want to visit stunning and inaccessible places with a 4WD car. The first trip was to see the Northern Lights, and the driver was incredible, fun, with a great vibe and I had the most beautiful lights that I couldn\'t even imagine, with green and pink auroras. The second tour was at the Katla Ice Cave. The place is surreal, it felt like I was in a science fiction film. It was fantastic.

We specifically opted for this tour over other options because we were eager to capture stunning photographs of the Northern Lights. However, to our dismay, all the photos taken of us during the tour turned out to be blurry and unusable. This was incredibly disappointing because we wanted good quality photos for the amount we paid for the tour. We would have chosen a $60 tour vs a $95 tour if we knew this ahead of time. 

I understand that capturing the Northern Lights can be challenging, especially for non-professional photographers. My friend and I both have Iphones and were never instructed by our guide how to use them or how to adjust any settings. We relied on the camera of Arctic Adventures to capture this once in a life time experience. However, there was a lack of clarity provided beforehand regarding the limitations and factors affecting the photo quality. Had we been better informed, we could have adjusted our expectations accordingly.

I would recommend choosing another tour company where you can get the same experience for less money. This could have been resolved if Arctic Adventures provided us with a second tour opportunity but they were “unable” to offer another booking.

However, the driver was not really interested in looking for the best spot to find Northern Lights instead he was going for what was convenient, which was about 10 mins away from the airport, in an area full of HOUSES lit up with Christmas decorations!

Despite what the aurora forecast said he insisted that we stay in that spot. It was very cold and windy so we stayed in the minibus for almost 2 hours waiting. From the start there were other passengers that voiced out their concerns of the chosen area based on what they were seeing on the aurora tracker,  we were too far south we needed to go north in order to get clearer skies. One of the passengers was very upset because this was his second time and we were going to the same spot he had unsuccessfully visited to a few days ago with another driver. Our driver didn’t want to hear what the other passengers were saying. There were a few other minibuses that were but eventually left either to go home or look for a better spot.

As for that free re-booking if you don’t get to see anything the first trip… good luck! Sure you can re-book if they have availability and if it still fits your schedule. Even though I left time to do this in our schedule, they did not have space for 2 other dates I tried to re-book and the day before our tour already got cancelled because of the snow.

The tour guide/driver for the Golden Circle portion of the tour was friendly and knowledgeable and the mini bus was comfortable for the long drives.  There were three main stops - the Thingvellir National Park where you can see the parliament stone and where the two tectonic plates are parting; next up was Geysir where we saw the Strokkur geysir erupting every 8 mins or so. The final stop was the Gulfoss waterfall which was spectacular. We also did three other mini-stops at a cattle farm where there was the option to buy Icelandic ice cream, at a place where there were icelandic horses which you could pet and at another waterfall.

My only criticism of this tour as that there wasn\'t long enough at the three main stops.  We had around 45 mins at each one, I would have liked around 90 mins at the Thingvellir National Park and at Geysir as I felt I was quite rushed here. The tour could perhaps leave earlier in the day  (it departs at 1pm) to accommodate more time at the stops. There were cafes at the first two stops but there was no time really to get a warm drink; it would be nice to have plenty of time to see the sights and relax a bit in the spectacular locations.

The landscape we drove through was spectacular and the pick up/drop off process was very good. 

The Northern Lights tour was cancelled on the day I had originally booked due to the poor weather and I was sent a text message and an email with plenty of notice of the cancellation and was able to re-book for another day. I also received a text message on the day of the re-booked tour confirming it was going ahead. The tour guide was clearly very passionate about the lights and explained the science behind them on the drive out of Reykjavik and when we got to the location where the lights were visible he explained what settings to put our cameras to to get good photos. 

The lights were spectacular. It was freezing cold and there was a biting wind, but it was worth it and the guide gave us as much time as we wanted to watch the lights. The lights started to dim so we got back on the mini bus and the guide gave us the option of driving back to Reykjavik or waiting 45 mins to see if they returned as they tend to be stronger around midnight. While we were waiting the guide answered questions and told us some stories.

Our tour guide for the Golden Circle was informative, but I worried about his driving in the snowy conditions--he kept looking at his phone, and at one point was texting?!  He also dropped us off at the wrong location, and told us misinformation about where we would be picked up for the  later Northern lights tour. I sensed that he was asked at the last minute to do this tour, and not a professional guide?  For the Northern lights part of the tour, when we were not picked up, we tried to call before 9PM to the Artic Adventures offices--but they never picked up the phone they close at 9PM. I finally found another phone number in your initial email, which worked--so I highly recommend that everyone booking a tour to make sure they have an after hours number to call I would also state NOT to wait 30 minutes before calling about a delayed pickup and there should be tour phones at the pickup bus stops there are new regs that tours have to pick up at the bus stops only. This proved to be the KEY anxious point re: every tour.  The other issue is that we booked this tour BECAUSE it only had 18 people on the minibus.  We ended up looking for the Northern Lights with all the huge GrayLine and  Reykyavik Excursion buses, so it was not what we had bargained for.  We were disappointed. I am not sure why we paid the extra price, when  the minibus took over an hour to finally find us, took over an hour to go to the lighthouse where there was a mass scene at this one site where hundreds of people and about 20 buses gathered to try and see the lights, and it was overall stressful and not enjoyable.  Our guide for this part of the tour was very nice, but there was no professional guide discussion of what the lights were, why we saw them only in the winter, etc. etc.  I would not recommend paying extra for a smaller  minibus tour when there was no extra value.</p>',3.0,'2018-02-24T04:36:09Z','REV-yL2+QS3QK0NgXN6ScPTg9YXU/a48chrbfdax19evxL8=','en','bjb806','VIATOR'),('5590P80','SuperSaver: Golden Circle Afternoon Tour and Northern Lights Adventure by Minibus from Reykjavik','Combo tour - mixed review of good and bad','We had two different guides for this combination tour.

E.g.,  he was not aware the we were to be dropped off at a certain spot and picked up again.   HOWEVER, the second half of the tour for the northern lights was absolutely outstanding.

He shared with us his knowledge of the science behind the northern lights, as well as lots of information about Iceland, its people and culture.   On a 1-10 scale, I\'d rate the first half of this tour a 3 but the second half a 10+.    I definitely would recommend the tour -- the van issue is a logistical one which can be fixed.',4.0,'2018-02-15T16:58:03Z','REV-p7egPP8DjZio0BNf8Y1nHQGw+MTLr0qW2DRswi9BUJs=','en','suzette k','TRIPADVISOR'),('5590P80','SuperSaver: Golden Circle Afternoon Tour and Northern Lights Adventure by Minibus from Reykjavik','The staff were very knowledgeable and good but the Northern light tour bus was uncomfortable','We took the minibus tour with English speaking guide for the one day Golden circle and northern light tour.

I wanted to go in the winter months because I was hoping to see the northern lights. It\'s a nice itinerary that gives a sample of what the country has to offer. 

The excellent service is what makes this company really great.

One afternoon our group split up while half of us went hiking on a glacier, and the other half went with our tour guide to Vik for some sightseeing. When we got off the glacier, our hiking guide told us that the rest of our group was stuck in Vik because there had been a terrible accident involving a snowplow and a car driven by a few tourists which made the road impassable. Over the next four hours several groups came together to help us out. Our tour guide stayed in close contact with us giving updates as he received them, the café at the glacier let us stay inside even after they had closed shop and left, and another glacier guide stayed with us to make sure we were all okay, plus he was excellent company. While he was stuck in Vik, our tour guide arranged for Super Jeeps to come get us and take us to meet another van driver coming from Reykjavik. The guys in Super Jeeps were about to head home for the day when they got the call. They were so nice and friendly even though they must have been exhausted. And the next van driver was also really friendly even though coming to get us meant an extra three hours of work for him in the late evening. The efficiency, effort and kindness from all these different companies to make us comfortable is truly amazing. You’ll be in good hands with these guys.',5.0,'2017-11-21T11:58:02Z','REV-tB1TQFrQoEScCtThZhZ4SjHslhA2O1K6g1tuoJYZqNg=','en','Angela S','TRIPADVISOR'),('5590P83','SuperSaver: Small Group South Coast, Waterfalls & Glacier Hike and Northern Lights Adventure from Reykjavik','Beautiful glacier scapes','We picked this combination tour so that we could visit key locations in the South Coast including Seljalandsfoss Waterfall, Skogafoss Waterfall, Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach and Reynisdrangar Basalt Sea Stacks. The pit stops were relatively short but we didn’t mind it too much as the highlight for us was the Solheimajokull Glacier hike which was around 3 hours. For the hike itself we would recommend proper hiking shoes with good ankle support and then adequate clothing (we went during winter so we had to layer up). The Artic Adventure staff at the glacier are ever so friendly and it just topped off the experience. They help you check your clothing and provide hiking crampons and a pickaxe. We would just say that the hike is  although relatively manageable it still involves hiking up and down crevices and at times steep slopes. The views at the plateau of the glacier are absolutely breathtaking in winter and definitely worth the visit - We’ve never seen something quite like this!

In terms of things we felt could have been improved - the website itself says lunch is not provided and to bring our own food, but when we got to the Black Sand Beach there was a little cafe that was serving hot food which we would have preferred especially in the cold. The biggest downfall for us was our driver/tour guide. There was a huge difference from this experience compared to other companies we used during our stay in Iceland where others shared local anecdotes, history and facts to make the trip more interesting, whereas our tour guide was more of a driver bringing us to point A to B. I understand we were running on a strict schedule which was probably more difficult to maintain with poorer driving conditions in the snow but he did make it very obvious he was frustrated with some of the other group members. At times we asked questions he came across rather unfriendly and it did ruin the experience for us but thankfully the glacier walk made the trip worth it. The website also sells that the tour includes highlights to see the Eyjafjallajokull Glacier / Volcano view and the Hekla Volcano view which we didn’t have as part of our tour. Im unsure if that was because of bad weather and visibility during winter but it would have been nice to know if this wasn’t possible. 

Unfortunately our northern lights tour had to be cancelled which we already expected that evening due to the aurora forecast but thankfully we managed with another tour company earlier in the trip. 

All in all we would still recommend this trip if you’re keen on visiting the South Coast and doing a glacier walk as not many tours provide this (as far as we could find) as it is definitely worth it, but as long as you’re aware of what we’ve mentioned above.',4.0,'2023-12-19T12:30:20Z','REV-02yGHTs06uE2+kQ4MN23cJ9bvkAiim6pc1FNS1tNPMw=','en','ourwanderings','TRIPADVISOR'),('5590P83','SuperSaver: Small Group South Coast, Waterfalls & Glacier Hike and Northern Lights Adventure from Reykjavik','Highlight of our Iceland Trip','We took a chance based on reviews and decided with Arctic Adventures and we were lucky to have Vjeran as our tour guide. You can tell that he loves Iceland and truly feels the essence of the beauty of this magical country. He was very knowledgeable and I, my wife, and especially our 10 year old daughter learned a lot about the volcanos, and the glacier and the impact they have on one another in forming the beautiful landscapes, but also the impact they had on Icelandic society. A true history lesson. Vjeran was very personable and went out of his way to make sure that the group had the best time which includes answering all questions, making sure that  we had plenty of places to stop to use the bathroom and eat (He even gave great food recommendations) and  making himself available to take pictures for us at every stop for the first 10 minutes. He did this for all of his customer. He truly loves Iceland and that to me was the selling point as a guide is to have someone passionate in showing tourist as much as he can. He made us feel like we were friends and family and not just tourists. I wish I remembered the guide who took us on our glacier hike and cave tour, because he was incredible also and really made my daughter feel comfortable and confident. The hike and adventure is a bit overwhelming because it is uncharted territory but he took care of us. This 2 day trip was literally a once in a lifetime experience and it was the highlight of our 9 day stay in Iceland. Everything was wonderful. Lastly, we had booked with other tours guide throughout our vacation and he was absolutely the best.

The tour was capped at 19 people and ours had about 17 or 18- nice and small group size to keep everything moving along and not get caught up in annoying transitions or long breaks. The van was compact (honestly if you are claustrophobic or a larger person, it probably wouldn’t be the most comfortable van) but it was fine for us moderate-sized people. Be mindful that everything you pack needs to remain on your lap or between your feet unless compact enough to fit in the micro-overhead container. The van pickup throughout the city was so easy and took less than 30 minute total. Our tour guides were Bessi and Martin and they were excellent. Informative and funny. The entire drive there was filled with the perfect amount of information about the geography of Iceland and cultural history. Bessi talked just the right amount to keep the drive interesting but not overpowering. After about an hour-ish there was a quick 20 min rest stop break and then after about another 30 min we stopped at the first waterfall Skógafoss for about 40 mins. A perfect amount of time to walk around and take pictures. Then we drove about an hour more and stopped at Reynsjara for an hour for the black sand beach and lunch. Bessi was extremely informative and kept us safe at the beach. There is a cafeteria at the beach to purchase food. Then we drove about 30 min and started the glacier hike with Simon. Simon was an excellent tour guide. He was so knowledgeable about the glacier. The hike in total lasted about 3 hours and it was about 2 hours of active hiking. The company provided a helmet, crampons, and a pick. This hike was challenging in that you needed to be physically fit because there are some steeper inclines and you need a little bit of balance. It was completely doable because Simon told you exactly how to do everything safety, easily, and correctly. There were also plenty of breaks and opportunities for photos. This hike was the coolest part of the tour!! After the hike we returned to the original bus (we were able to leave our bags on the bus if we wanted), we drove another 30 min to Seljlandsfoss and spent about 20 minutes there. This was a good amount of time as it was getting cold and cloudy and we were all pretty tired at this point. Since it was winter, the path behind the waterfall was closed. If it were warmer, the path were open, and I had more energy, I would have wanted more time, but under these circumstances I did not, and I think most of the tour group felt the same way, and Bessi selected the time appropriately. The drive all the way back to Reykjavík was about 1 hr and 45 min and we all pretty much slept on the way home, arriving back around 7 pm. Excellent excellent tour!! A note about clothing: we went in March, and had warmer weather. For the waterfalls, we wore leggings, waterproof pants, a long sleeve, a thinner jacket, and a puffy coat. For hiking, we stripped some layers, and removed the puffy coat and wore multiple thinner layers- a windbreaker was very helpful here, but Simon did share that we were lucky with the weather and it rains 6/7 days. On to the Northern Lights tour... We would highly recommend our northern lights tour and that is pretty much all due to our tour guide Fred! Firstly, for anyone interested in booking a northern lights tour, I\'d highly recommend completing your research on the northern lights as it is a phenomenon and you must \"hunt\" for the northern lights. Fortunately, we completed this research and entered the tour experience knowing that we would spend most of the evening driving around looking for breaks in the clouds for the chance the see the lights. This is how Fred made this experience! We had a cloudy night, and he made the 1.5 hours we spent looking for a break in the clouds so enjoyable. He educated us on how the Northern lights occur, how they are tracked/predicated (and why he doesn\'t think the predictions are accurate), and his history as a 15 year northern lights hunter. He also prepped us on how to capture the lights on our cameras. Fred also shared some folklore and a special Elf dance to make the lights appear. We eventually found the northern lights and all took photos and the photos that Fred took of us were excellent and shared so quickly. Of note (which again we knew from doing research, but might come as a disappointed if research isn\'t done), the northern lights appear very green and bright in pictures but to the naked eye can vary in appearance. My one friend just saw gray streaks while my other friend saw green. I saw gray and had a hard time discerning the lights from clouds (which Fred helped explain how to do!). After we saw the lights, Fred played a song on the harmonica to thank the elves for the lights. Overall it was such a great experience because of Fred!',5.0,'2023-03-17T14:36:09Z','REV-44nPT815k/S9Ag3Aw1XiyOw/SeXXP+9mxXnJYfpAHX8=','en','claudiacC4539MH','TRIPADVISOR'),('5590P83','SuperSaver: Small Group South Coast, Waterfalls & Glacier Hike and Northern Lights Adventure from Reykjavik','Amazing adventure for a young couple!

I don\'t remember the name of our tour guide for the South Coast, but he was a nice older man and very informative. 
It was a small group experience, which I\'m very glad I chose this because we didn\'t have to ride with like 50 other people. It was less than 20 people in the van. 
We felt a little rushed on the first couple of stops. My husband and I walked behind the Seljalandsfoss waterfall and actually fell on our butts while hiking, so we had to take some time cleaning up the mud from our jackets so we were like 5 minutes late back to the bus. And for the next stop, he kept repeating to us the meeting time over and over again... Like I get it, I\'m sorry I was a few minutes late, but I didn\'t want to get on the bus and make the seats all dirty and muddy... But I understand there are a lot of stops that he had to make, and he wanted to get ahead of time so that he could make a couple of extra stops for us, so that was very nice of him. The waterfalls and black beach were stunning! 

The glacier hike guide\'s name was Kyle. He was very funny and friendly and knew a ton about glaciers. Showed us where it was safe to walk and stopped often to let us catch a breath. Glacier hiking is no joke! Definitely got a work out going but the views were just phenomenal and breathtaking. He showed us a cool way of drinking the flowing water from the glacier and oh my goodness it was the freshest, cleanest, most refreshing water I\'ve ever tasted! All of us spent a lot of time drinking the water :) 

What upset me is that we were supposed to be dropped off back at Reykjavik around 7:30pm to grab something to eat and then continue with the Northern Lights tour, but we were dropped off at 8:30... We had to rush our butts to grab some dinner in a nearby restaurant (Fish and Chips), but by then my husband and I decided that we were not going to make it. We didn\'t want to rush so much to have dinner, so we called them and explained our situation. It wasn\'t our fault that we got dropped off so late but they said we should hurry up and go to the bus stop or there\'s nothing they can do about it. Again, it was already too late so we missed it and just walked around the city at night. 
Luckily we had already done a Northern Lights tour 2 nights ago (with a different company), and we got a fantastic view of them, so we weren\'t too sad about missing this tour, but still, I wouldn\'t recommend doing a day tour with the Northern Lights combo because you might not have enough time to eat before you have to get picked up.

Long:   We didn’t get home till past midnight.  
Most exhausting tour I’ve ever been on.
Tour started at 9am from Reykjavik. Didn’t get on a super jeep till gone 4pm. Ridiculous! 

We were transported from Reykjavik and the guide just kept saying delay after delay with jeep company. When we got to Vik around 2pm we were told to well just come back in a few hours! 

When we finally got on the super jeep - it broke down! And we had to wait for rescue on the glacier as it was getting dark. I thought at that point there was no way they’d actually take us to the ice cave now as we were losing light. 

Finally a new jeep turned up and took us to the start of the walk to the ice cave. Helmets provided. Crampons only provided later. NO TORCHES. 

Fortunately we had our own crampons for the initial hike to the start of the ascent to the caves. But lots of the other guests kept falling over and slipping so I felt quite fortunate to have them. 

The no head lamp/ torch thing was bizarre. The guide shone their torches ahead but really hard to see if not with the guide eg in middle or back. Lots of us using our phones for light. Can see in the other comments similar reviews said same. Made the hike really sketchy in places.

Finally rest of tour able to put on crampons. We climbed to the caves. The ice ring was incredible. But the whole experience felt so rushed because we were losing the light. Then onto caves, again no torches, my partner slipped and fell, again most using phone torches. Without the natural light bit rubbish really. Part of the beauty is seeing light through the ice. So bit of a disappointment. 

Got back to super jeep for 7pm and not back to Vik till 9pm. 5 hours without water or food by this point. I wish I’d brought water from the coach. We’d been encouraged to leave our stuff on coach. 

By the time we got back to Vik around 9pm - the service station was closed and people had to find somewhere to pee in the carpark.

Driver just kept saying we were making memories. Yup you could say that. 

Then the whole journey back to Vik the tour bus beeps every 10 seconds. Driver said it was a warning mechanism that they hadn’t figured out how to turn off. I had such a headache by this point.

The crampons were not provided at the start of the trip, and my husband and I, both in our 60’s, fell 3 times. Others on the trip fell as well, one inside the cave which was full of rushing water at uncertain depth. We were finally given crampons about halfway through the trip as they were in a box at the foot of the glacier, where the snow was supposed to start. Everyone on the trip was soaked from the rain and conditions, even in waterproof gear.

The super jeep was driving through water that was as high at the wheels in places, and the first trip was late getting back due to driving in these conditions. We had to dig part of the seatbelt out of a hole it had fallen into in the seat. The ride was very bumpy for about 40 minutes.

The pick up van had a very nice and knowledgeable guide, but the space as smaller than an airplane seat, and people had to put backpacks in the aisle.

Our guide in the jeep never spoke a word to us until he passed out helmets. I felt like he did not want to be there. He sometimes walked ahead and did not instruct, as this is why someone fell inside the cave’s water. She did not know where to step.  Then he failed to assist a child from another group who could not leap across to the next wooden plank floating in the water. He was the closest guide and did nothing. Another guide ran from behind us and assisted the child.

The cave was awesome of course, but the cost in danger to us made it less spectacular.

Artic Adventures provided a well rounded 6 day tour of the Island with hotel accommodation before and after the trip.Central office provided excellent email communications and corrected errors on dates of lodging quickly when brought to their attention.
Van for travel was clean,comfortable, ample room under seats and above bins for rental equipment and personal items for the 15 in our group.Charging port, phone holder with pull down tray included in the newer van.Luggage was placed in Uhaul trailer the van pulled behind,tour guide always put the luggage in and out for us.Our Tour Guide/ Van driver Almar  \"Al\" had a love for his country that just shined!Our guided tour with crampons at a Glacier was guided by Michael.He was very personable,explained and assisted when needed.He took our tour at the pace we could handle learning a new skill.Whale watching was a tour of a few groups on the tour boat.Top deck provided a view for about 12 people and the rest of 25 or so had to often miss the show as the boat was often head on instead of turning to allow those on main deck a good view of whales sighted.Our van  tour guide was able to get some good pictures he shared with our small group. 
Back on the van,Al had an enormous amount of information on all the parks,history of landmarks, and a never ending wealth of patience to our countless questions! Everyday he provided the itinerary ,where housing for the evening and information on where we could eat during the mid day and evening.Frequent stops every hour or aso were provided for bathroom breaks and drinks.Al encouraged us to switch seats every day to allow a different view for all.He helped us to discover the Northern Lights and invited us out to view them, every night outside the capital. Al united our diverse group and we are still communicating with each other.
The tour had many adventures, an Icelandic Horse Farm visit, an extra fee for Thermal pool swim as well as a beautiful daily waterfall,parks,beaches,hot springs, iceberg coves, seals,sheep,Artic foxes,and old Volcanic sites.Would highly recommended this tour if you want to sit back and enjoy the view,not worry about driving,housing and meals.',5.0,'2023-09-18T05:22:28Z','REV-RkLFnpgojteOk6A1LpBF/MPv7a38PEG969GAPnL4q0U=','en','Q7066IRcathyb','TRIPADVISOR'),('5590P85','8-Day Iceland Ring Road Tour: Reykjavik, Akureyri, Golden Circle & South Coast','So lucky to have found this amazing guided tour by Artic Adventures','If you ever want to experience Iceland:

It’s a combination of 6 Days - Around Iceland Adventure by Arctic Adventures, 1-day Snaefellsnes Peninsula & Kirkjufell Small Group Tour by Your Day Tours and 1-day Landmannalaugar Safari Super Jeep Tour.

Though a telephone number was provided, it was not cost effective to call them from India notwithstanding the time difference. Even though I requested for a WhatsApp contact, it was not provided. Even after reaching Reykjavik, as I didn’t have international roaming or a local number, I had to depend on the hotel reception to contact their office. There were several occasions we had to necessarily contact them and it was not at all easy. Once we finish the day’s tour and try to contact them, their office is closed and there is no one to contact. The driver cum guide said other booking matters had to be taken up directly with the office. Hence, communicating with them was always an issue.

We were the last to get in the vehicle, however, we got two seats in the middle row. I found three elderly ladies in the back row and they were seated there for the entire tour. I have seen some reputed operators rotating the seats everyday so that everyone gets a chance to enjoy the front row and the comfortable areas of the vehicle. The van was crammed with 18 passengers and needless to say that it was not at all a comfortable vehicle, especially for the back seat riders.

When I requested for the day-to-day itinerary, I was informed that it’s the same itinerary shown in the company website. Hence, I had to check the website every day for the day’s activities. I found that some of my fellow travellers who booked the tour through another agency had their printed itinerary with them. Reputed operators provide a print out of the day-to-day activities along with their historic significance and other particulars at the beginning of the tour.

Our luggage was put in a trailer and the driver used to load and unload the luggage from that trailer each day. At few places, our accommodation was upstairs and we had to carry the luggage upstairs, which was really hard, especially for aged people. 

The itinerary was a great mix of awe-inspiring waterfalls, glaciers, beaches, volcanic craters, lakes, hot springs and activities like hiking including glaciers, whale watching and hot spring baths. The days were tight with lot of activities; however, it was well worth.

The tour covered major waterfalls like Seljalandsfoss, Skógafoss, Gullfoss and Dettifoss, besides many other small falls. Other major attractions were Geysir, Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach, Vík Coastal Village, Skaftafell National Park, Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon, Vatnajökull Glacier Hike, Mývatn, Akureyri and Dalvík, Whale Watching Tour, Deildartunguhver Hot Spring, Snaefellsnes Peninsula, Arnarstapi Fishing Village, Mt. Kirkjufell, Djúpalónssandur Pebble Beach etc.

The Glacier hike was only for a small distance as the group was mostly ladies including a few aged. However, it was good enough to get a feel of the glaciers. The pickaxe was only a gadget to make photos with and the walk making it look like we were ice climbing. 

Whale watching was not that great as we saw only a few whales, that too very far.
Snaefellsnes Peninsula & Kirkjufell was good, but day 7 guide was not that effective in communicating. Besides, he dropped us at the wrong Foss hotel, despite showing him the address of the hotel, from where we had to take a cab to our actual hotel.

Day 8 Jeep tour was interesting and driver Martin was excellent. He made the journey enjoyable and was well versed with the attractions.  

Hotels were not always those mentioned in the itinerary, but the operator can always take refuge under the clause “or similar”. Day 4 accommodation was in some wilderness camp, which was below par and the dinner cost was too expensive for that type of place and the type of dinner served.

Ronan, our driver cum guide was incredibly knowledgeable about all the touristic attractions, and its historic significance. He is clearly passionate about the attractions he showed us and goes above and beyond to gain and share his knowledge of them. His competence was perceived as extremely professional and we want to share our great thanks for making the tour so enjoyable.

Overall, we had a superb holiday in Iceland, thanks to Ronan who made it wonderful. The itinerary suggested was great– all sightseeing recommendations were very well chosen and we loved it.',4.0,'2023-07-07T02:22:53Z','REV-x4IkqnP2DW802wq9Mc5gls1ZCeVo4ezvUKToHUJzNyA=','en','jacpaul1','TRIPADVISOR'),('5590P85','8-Day Iceland Ring Road Tour: Reykjavik, Akureyri, Golden Circle & South Coast','Sensational Tour of Iceland','What a great journey around Iceland.

Due to how people work in Iceland this tour is a 6 day tour & day 7 is a 1 day tour. It also mixes people on other tours. Normally not a problem.

The 6 day tour was excellent. The guide Hjalti was really good too. Being on a multi day tour meant we found out a lot more about how people live, believe and history of Iceland. As it was winter we didn’t see everything on the tour, there were some changes to timetables & we spent less time at each sight. This was fine as it was December so shorter days of light & a lot of snow/weather changes meant there was no alternative. Please consider this when you go. It was also a lot safer because we drove in weather extremes that required experience.
In terms of the Northern Lights this is only information on how they appear and varied each day depending upon where the hotel was. The tour guide can not bring you out at night to specific places as it exceeds their allowed time to work. We weren’t told that some hotels would contact you if they appeared & I don’t think where we stayed would generally do so. We did not see them as it was either too light or too much cloud coverage.
Note. There were some on our tour that did struggle physically with the tour. You do need to walk to most sights with some involving a lot of steps. This is not the fault of the tour but just how Iceland is. 

Unfortunately, evening of day 6 and day 7 was a disaster. The 1 day tour was cancelled due to bad weather and we + 3 others in our group had already been dropped off at the hotel for the night of day 6. Artic Adventures forgot that the 1 day tour included people on the 7 day tour. This meant we were told by email and no information was given on how we would get back to Reykjavik the following day. I had to phone them in a panic as they were closing soon and it took a lot of different phone calls to sort it. The others did not know until I told them as they had not read their emails.
Luckily, there was another tour guide at the hotel for another tour that sorted it all out for us in the end. He had to change what customer service told me because he was only told about the other 3 in our group by me.
We got back to Reykjavik the next day without any problems.
However, we should not have been told the tour was cancelled by only an email and there should have been arrangements in place if they have to cancel a tour that is part of another tour. They could have asked the receptionist to inform us in addition to an email. It should not have been me and then another tour guide to sort this out.

If day 7 had not happened we would definitely have put 5 out of 5, which is a shame.',4.0,'2024-01-10T16:57:33Z','REV-UN4iQ3buQCtdbRjO5YPNMNVCBdNgWdgPjR91lvrkkwI=','en','Catsarebest2015','TRIPADVISOR'),('5590P88','7-Day Complete Iceland: South Coast, Golden Circle, Akureyri & Snaefellsnes','What a trip!','The amount of territory covered and sites we saw were amazing.

There were a few miscommunications at the beginning regarding minor changes to the Itinerary that I was not aware of (not related to Vjeran), but nothing stopped this from being the most amazing trip and that was simply due to Vjeran.  As a Travel Agent, I have been on many tours throughout the years and Vjeran is absolutely the best Guide I have ever experienced.  From the moment we stepped on the bus, we felt welcomed and knew it was going to be the adventure of a lifetime.  The enthusiasm this man showed us throughout our journey was above and beyond.  Knowledgeable, energetic, fun, thoughtful and completely capable.  Vjeran truly knows how to read his group and tailored all of our activities based on that.  Yes, we followed the Itinerary, but there were many little quick stops, great eateries & side trips that he shared with us, simply because he learned what we wanted, understood who we were, early on and helped us experience everything we possibly could.  I could literally go on and on, but suffice to say, if I take another group to Iceland (which I hope to next year), I will be requesting Vjeran as my Guide!  Team Wonderful forever!

In retrospect, I should have challenged his reasoning back then and there. There was no news of flooding in the canyon preventing tourists from visiting.

Our tour guide/driver was from Iceland and knew so much about the country we were driving around. He also could answer every question we threw at him. (and our group asked a lot of questions!) We loved staying (and eating dinner) in the remote hotels the best, especially the one after the Vök baths! We were so glad the other place in town was full! You should make that the place to stay for this tour! It was a highlight along with the glacier hike, Vök baths (wish we had a longer time there), whale watching, and visiting an Icelandic horse farm (and eating a Love Ball!). Our only wish was that we stopped in Akureyri, even just for a photo stop. We had to stay in a hotel in Dalvík, which was fine except there was extremely limited places to have dinner. Nearly everything in town was closed. We should have stopped in Akureyri, for a photo moment or to just roam the downtown for even 30 minutes. Or in our case this would have been a great meal stop and then head up to Dalvík. 
Our trip was likely even more awesome because of our guide and the people on our trip. We had a lively group, who got along and actually enjoyed eating together and hanging out! And Almar, our guide, was awesome! If it were not for Al, I don’t think we would have learned so much or enjoyed the trip (and each other) as much as we did. If you read this far in my review, then definitely consider choosing this or the 6-day trip with this company.

I really like the small group tours. We had 16 people on a mini bus and it was perfect. Our guide Mitch was fantastic. Lots of great stories, explanations, and also gave us some \"free\" time without commentary to allow us to just stare out the window at the beautiful scenery. The day was quite cold and windy at most of the stops, but you forget all about that when you see the magical sights. Dress warmly with plenty of layers and you\'ll be fine. 
Most stops have bathrooms and places to buy snacks. If you\'re the last one to get picked up, like me, you might wait at your stop for a while, but still got plenty of time on the tour, not rushed at all, and arrived back a little later than planned so as not to cut any stops short. 
The crater walk was incredible, and so were the views at Thingvellir National Park. I was worried about booking a 6 hour tour in case it was rushed, but there was enough time at each stop for what you needed, and it was great for those with only a short amount of time here. 
Can\'t wait for my next Arctic Adventures tour, all the guides seem so friendly and helpful and have so many great tips and ideas even for the rest of your stay. Mitch spent a lot of time sharing his favorite places to eat and drink, as well as walking everyone through downloading and using the northern lights apps so we could track them while we\'re visiting Iceland.',5.0,'2024-02-19T16:11:58Z','REV-3AZ/QLbADXLyWCkxmZ+4VrZZZtenHazjN9TRmxlzBiQ=','en','emmaglbrt','TRIPADVISOR'),('5590P96','Golden Circle Afternoon Small Group Tour from Reykjavik','Golden circle tour','The golden circle tour was amazing!

The bus was right on time and everything was very smooth and everyone felt in safe hands. The journey to landmannaluagar for me was equally as enjoyable as the actual hike. The scenes are unbelievable like you\'re on a different planet and a massive bonus was driving through filming locations of different films including Interstellar. The hike is a great challenge and lots of support is given by the instructors for breaks, points you can wait and going slower if needed. Our two instructor, Matt and Quique, were wonderful. They told us so many genuinely interesting facts, a range of comedy, inside knowledge about Iceland, history, debunking rumours, what it\'s actually like to live as an Icelander, and also lots of recommendations about other must do trips, food places, drink bars, walks etc we should do during our trip or if we were to return. During the journey Matt used a microphone so he could be heard perfectly. He talks in intervals so it\'s a perfect balance too. The driver Kristoff is incredibly skilled also. Make sure to wear really good shoes because the floor can be slippy, narrow and steep. Wear layers too because the weather changes quickly in Iceland, and considering you are hiking you can get hot. I personally didnt go in the hot springs but I heard it\'s incredible. There is opportunity half-way for a toilet break and to buy food and drink but we brought our own and I do recommend this. You can leave you food in the coach and collect it after the hike so dont worry about the weight. There are toilets at Landmannalauger which you use before the hike, but once the hike begins there won\'t be opportunity until you return but this wasn\'t an issue for anyone. There is a place to also get food and drink at Landmannalauger but the workers do break through the day so it may not be open. There\'s lots of stops to take the best pictures. The group you hike with is no bigger than 15 which is a really nice number. Really recommend this tour if you\'re wanting to visit Landmannalaugar, the guides are really thoughtful, even making sure we got back in time so that the food places were still open.

Day 1 - Pickup was in Reykjavic. By noon, we were in Landmannalaugar, after a couple of stops.  Our guide was Halldor Dagur Josefsson, but we called him HD. He cooked some lunch for us and then we went off to climb Blahnukur, a tall blue-black mountain in Landmannalaugar. It was rainy, windy and a challenging climb. It was steep in parts. After that, some of us soaked in the hot spring river nearby the hut- this was heavely after spending the last few hours in rain and cold conditions. We got a sumptuous dinner and crammed into the bedding in the hut. The huts are heated and warm. My son was on the trek, but part of the tent group.

Day 2 - We started by 8:30 am or so, after packing lunch/snack for ourselves (sandwiches and trail mix). We were to hike 15 miles (24 km) today. The first part of the hike was a lot of climbing uphill till we reached our lunch spot at Hrafntinnusker hut at half way point. We walked mainly through a geothermal area and some snow fields (late August). The views were beautiful. After lunch and restrooms, we headed to complete the second part of the 15 mile hike. It was a whole bunch of climbing up and down, some very steep slopes. The view of Alftavatn lake was mesmerizing. We were blessed with a lovely day with no rain. The last mountain to get down to the hut was very steep and I got some knee pain that made it hard. It took me a long time to get down that steep mountain. We had the first river crossing and it was quite fun to walk through the river. After that, we walked the remaining 4 km to the Alftavatn hut.  The hut was nice and spacious and we had our own beds, which was nice. Again, HD made us a yummy dinner with some of us helping him.

Day 3- We started the day a bit late, since it was raining and we were waiting for the rain to go. Eventually we started the 9 mile (15 km) hike in mild drizzle but soon it cleared up to sunny skies. We had 2 river crossings this day. The second river was very, very cold and fast flowing ! After this, we started walking through black sand desert with beautiful moss-covered green mountains. I loved this day - the scenery was amazing and the day was perfect ! The lunch spot was a beautiful waterfall. The views on this day was simple amazing ! We got to the Emstrur hut in about 6-7 hours with lots of break and time to take pictures. HD cooked some yummy food again.

Day 4 - Some of us started the day early to walk the final 9 (15 km) miles. We were blessed with more sunny weather. Most of the walk, we had views of the 3 glaciers in the background. It was a warm day and we could finally see some vegetation - shrubs and bushes. Also some sheep. The scenery each day was so different and unique and beautiful. Towards the end, there was one river crossing - the river was very fast flowing but thankfully, didnt have much volume of water. After that, it was a 3-4 km climb through a small forest to Thorsmork. It was mixed feelings when the trek ended - happy for my knees but sad it was over ! The bus picked us up and dropped us in Reykjavic by 8 pm. They had some issues with delivering our luggage on the last day,  but they quickly corrected the situation and had the luggage delivered to us in Reykjavik early in the morning. 

HD fed us all very well. Breakfast was yummy oatmeal with fruits, buttermilk and cookies. We packed lunches daily - sandwiches with peanut butter, nut butters, jams, meat, spreads etc - lots of options. Dinner was cooked with some or all of us assisting and there was always salad also. Both my son and I are vegetarian and they fed us good food with some fake meat called oomph meat, which was very delicious. As a woman, I was worried about lack of bathrooms, but there were plenty of rocks to use on the way that gave sufficient privacy.  We were a group of 16 (varying age groups) and it was so much fun to hang out with all of them. The guide gave us plenty of freedom to do what we want and never rushed us along.  

If you love nature and amazing views, I highly recommend this 4 day trek with Arctic Adventures and our guide, HD.  HD was fun and entertaining and very caring of all of us. He took good care of me for my knee hurting, bandaged up my knee, gave me knee strap etc. He was also an excellent cook and had some good stories to tell !

In Summary,  Day 2 was the hardest, with the longest trek and lots of up and down and many of them steep, the last hill down to Alftavatn was the steepest. Day 3 was mostly flat and fairly easy. Day 4 had some steep ups and downs but mostly easy. Overall, I feel very blessed to see the amazing sceneries of Iceland and to have good weather and be able to complete the 35 mile (54 km) trek.  Hope I have given sufficient information that is helpful to others looking to do this trek. I would do it again, if I ever get the chance !',5.0,'2023-09-14T22:00:00Z','REV-iEQhEM8Tem10tgYm1vWhN8gCW0OPMqESpTnpFRRkWcI=','en','iunnik','TRIPADVISOR'),('5590TREK18','Landmannalaugar Hiking Tour - Highlands of Iceland','Fantastic Lord of the Rings Tour','We just spent a fantastic day with our wonderful tour guides Matt and Quique, and driver extraordinaire,  Christoff.

Beau first took us to the local day market where she showed us ingredients that Thais purchase and use at home.

Afterwards, she had our group prep ingredients that we would use in the dishes we were to make.  She guided us through each step and thoroughly explained how and why the ingredients were prepared a specific way.  She answered any questions we had.

She was very organized and the course ran very smoothly.
