Experience of a lifetime We had an absolutely incredible experience on this 6-day tour of Iceland! From breathtaking landscapes to flawless organization, everything exceeded our expectations. Each day was filled with adventure, with stops at stunning locations - glaciers, waterfalls, black sand beaches and the mesmerizing Northern Lights! Our guide (Throstur) was extremely professional, attentive and knowledgeable about every detail of the country. The itinerary was well-planned, striking the perfect balance between adventure and comfort. I highly recommend this experience to anyone looking to explore Iceland authentically and stress-free. A truly unforgettable trip, thank you Artic Adventures!
Fantastische gletsjerwalk met onze guide Anja van Arctic. Ze vertelde ons veel over de gletsjer en er was genoeg tijd voor het maken van foto’s. Was hier ook heel behulpzaam bij. Ze heeft oog voor de hele groep en of iedereen oké is. Top!
Une expérience magnifique avec Kévin et Rob pour une randonnée + escalade sur glacier durant 6h30. C'était une journée magique, et ils ont été absolument adorables, sympathiques et à l'écoute, tout en étant très compétents. 5 étoiles c'est trop peu pour ce qu'on a vécu :) Merci infiniment.
