  • 5 Day - Snaefellsnes, South Coast and Northern Lights reviewer 1
    · February 14th, 2025
    We had the 5 day tour which was broken down to a 2 day & a 3 day tour. The 3 day tour got cancelled due to weather & it left us stranded to find a hotel for 2 nights. I enjoyed the 2 day tour with our tour guide who was very helpful, but the whole tour in general could use a good update on communication. To start, I had no idea on the hotel arrangements for the last day. I've traveled a lot of different tour groups & each one had one thing in common. the first day of the tour is considered the day before the actual tour starts & the last day always ends with breakfast/checkout day. This way everyone is at the same hotel for pickup. The other thing is that there was no dinner included at the hotels that are very remote. We were stuck with very expensive bad food. Needless to say, I wasn't impressed with Arctic Adventures.

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

    Overall the guides and drivers were excellent - in their knowledge, driving safety, preparing the group for activities that were next on the list. The only down time during the day was some of the distances between stops. But not an issue as we were well aware of that before hand. A good value for the cost!!

    I loved our late December tour. I would recommend it and would do it again. There are two things that I wished I had known before the trip. 1) Obviously the Northern Lights are difficult to predict. I didn't realize though that ratings for the intensity that, range from 0-9, that 1-3 which is most common are also not visible to the naked eye only the camera. So even though I technically "saw" the lights as my camera showed them, emotionally it doesn't feel like it. 2) Since the days are so short, there is a lot of chasing sunlight feeling. It wasn't bad, but it basically means that you have like 30 mins at a beach or waterfall before heading to the next destination. It felt like a photo scavenger hunt race. Walk briskly out to these beautiful views, snap a dozen rapid photos and selfies, then race back to the bus. Along these lines, the part that was poorly communicated, was that because we were racing the daylight, that we nearly always ended up grabbing a gas station lunch and eating in the bus. It is fine, but I wished I had known going in. When the tour description says lunch in "x" town, that is clearly the longer season description, when daylight lasts 12 hours, not 4. The glacier hike was the highlight of the trip. The ice cave is interesting, but the real excitement is walking in the blue ice crevasses on the glacier.

    Amazing experience, all the help received online from agents was great . The tour guides Wilhelm Gudjarn and Vjeran and guides for caves like Angelica and hiking too were awesome . I would definitely recommend this to my friends.

    I did a two and three day combo tour with my 11 year old daughter. It was packed with so many things to do. This tour was a great mix of action and sightseeing. Our guides were so friendly, knowledgeable, and fun! Highly recommend!
