    Our guide knew the area well and took us on some amazing hikes. Our guide was flexible and appropriately changed the itinerary to accommodate the weather forecasts. Communication through WhatsApp worked well. I appreciated being able to see ahead of time maps of the hikes with distances and elevations. The vehicle used to transport our group had mechanical issues and at times felt unsafe. Meals were tasty but used most of the same ingredients all week. All in all, a good experience with no regrets.

    The pace of this tour is more slow and relaxed, so there?s more time to enjoy the hikes and let your mind rest, but get your body to work :)

    This was a great tour all around for anyone who loves to hike. If you are lucky enough to to get good weather, like we were, the scenery is spectacular and varied. I loved focusing on one part of Iceland and seeing it well, not just the usual tourist spots.

    Trekking Eastern Iceland is the best way to experience the true nature of this beautiful country - from small villages, to mountain passes, to waterfalls and turquoise lakes in hidden valleys. It has it all.

    I had such a great time on this trip. It was by far my favorite GAdventures trip (out of the 5 I have done). Excellent guides, accommodation, pick of hikes, central location for adventure. Excellent, like-minded group. Loved it.

    Greta and her father were exceptional hosts and guides. The hikes were demanding as expected and the scenery was beautiful. We were fortunate to have great weather making the experience even better.
