    Hired a raincoat but leaked quite bad , especially in front, when it was rain. Light showers it was ok. Tour guide " Deyan" was supporting and organized throughout hike. Felt safe and potential risks were managed well under his guidance.

    Landscape and scenery were beautiful. With 16 people this tour should have had two guides — there was a lot of variation in abilities which led to lots of stopping and waiting for the faster folks.

    I did this tour last July and it was fantastic. Everything was as described in the brochure. The only objection would be that the group was quite large, 16 plus the guide. At times it was challenging to fit all at the tables provided in the huts. My shout goes to the guide Indra. He is very knowledgeable very kind, trying to help everybody and accomodate to different level of performance in the group. Indra was always happy, cooking great meals and making the best of our time in Iceland.

    I had a great time on this tour. The pre-trip prep instructions were excellent, so I did not come ill-prepared. Deyan, our guide, spoke excellent English and clearly knew what he was doing, and was very friendly with us. Daily hikes were manageable for most, although that 25km day would be a bit much for some. Accomodations were spartan but spotless. The views are amazing. Would highly recommend this tour!

    I recently did the Laugavegur Trek with a couple of days tagged on at the end for day hikes (started on the 8th Sept 2022, duration six days). The tour provider was Arctic Adventures. This trek was really excellent! I came back home feeling I’d had a massive adventure and was ready for more! I had a great group of twelve people from various countries and age groups that included eight solo travellers like me. Our guide (Hjalti Björnsson) really looked after us all and was a great cook! He also gave us some great insights in to the scenery, nature, culture and history of Iceland. I can’t recommend him highly enough. The landscapes in Iceland are otherworldly magical and heartbreakingly beautiful. The light and shadow play on the volcanic landscapes which, due to the vegetation that clings to the rocks, were a multitude of colours. The air was so fresh and for a while I felt totally at peace. I could have just sat and watched the views for a year! There is nowhere else like this place, at least not in Europe and not that I’ve seen. I was a bit sad when the trek ended. Thank you Arctic Adventures and Hjalti Björnsson!!

    The group could not eat together in Landmannalaugar (not enough seating), this was not beneficial for getting to know each other and getting together and communicating/getting information together. The lunch break in front of the hut Hrafntinnusker, which was closed at noon, was cold, uncomfortable (on the floor, as not enough benches) and smelly, as it was only sheltered from the wind next to the toilets. Both huts not suitable for 16-participants. For this scenic trip you can overlook this, but group size and seating do not fit here (team building difficult).

    The trek itself was really incredibly beautiful and I was really lucky with the weather and the group. However, the huts should be described in more detail, because they really need to get used to (do not correspond by far to the standard of, for example, Austrian huts) and were fully occupied despite Corona. Also about this a clarification would have been necessary in advance. I have booked at very short notice and even then the communication could be a little better (for example, regarding pick-up location). Overall, I would book the trek in this form again, but the communication in advance would have to be improved.

    I loved hiking the Laugavegur trail and the hut-to-hut experience. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to see Iceland’s off-the-beaten path beauty. The sense of camaraderie and achievement at reaching our final destination is something I will never forget.
