  "A BIG WARNING TO ALL THOSE WHO ARE THINKING OF BOOKING THIS TRIP. My partner and I recently went on this tour. We had pre-booked rental of 2 x hiking boots & 2 x waterproof pants. Both of which were not provided by the tour operator, meaning we had to hike through ice, snow and rain in our own footwear and pants. We were relying on these items of clothing being provided to us to ensure our safety and warmth, but were massively let down by Arctic Adventures. Our own footwear and pants are now ruined, and we are both covered in bruises and cuts from constantly falling over on the ice. I suggested that a good faith and fair resoultion woild be for arctic adventures to cover the cost of our damaged shoes, however they chose to refuse this. This debacle was a sign of things to come, as the tour in general was badly planned, operated, communicated and just overall bad. Don't be like me and ignore the unfavourable reviews of this tour and tour company. Just don't book it. Trust me.

  "Golden Circle Tour Day Kerið Crater was great even with some pretty foggy weather. Friðheimar Farm could be removed in my opinion as the limited daylight hours in December meant that once we finally arrived at Þingvellir National Park (4:30pm) it was pitch black and we couldn’t see or do anything. Throughout the day we also saw Gullfoss Waterfall (stunning and VERY windy) and Geysir Hot Springs (the main water blowhole explodes every 3-5mins). Overall the day was very good and our tour guide Zack was awesome but would’ve preferred a more exclusive itinerary to match up with the limited daylight hours. South Coast Tour Day This tour day was INCREDIBLE. My only feedback would be to start this day an hour earlier. The 9:30am pick up meant we didn’t get to the first place until 11:30am meaning we did lose a bit of daylight driving however our tour guide Addi was amazing and reshuffled the stops around so we did Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach, Reynisdrangar Cliffs, Vík Coastal Village, Sólheimajökull Glacier, Skógafoss Waterfall and Seljalandsfoss Waterfall in that order which meant we got to see everything before it got dark. 11/10 would recommend this day tour to anyone!! Northern Lights Tour Unfortunately for us, our Northern Lights Tour was cancelled twice due to bad weather. BusTravel’s was very accommodating in rescheduling us for both nights and then a third night. Although the tour did go ahead on the third night we unfortunately didn’t see any light activity. We would love to commend our tour guide Karlo as he did everything he could to hunt the lights for us. Logistics The pick up points everyday were very organised (ours was bus stop 6) and the driver called our name out when the bus arrived so you were never wondering am I on the right bus. There were plenty of toilets throughout each day tour and plenty of stops to buy food and souvenirs. The buses also have USB charging points. Make sure to rug up if you’re in December and expect to get wet as Iceland weather changes quickly! One minute it was sun and then next to was hailing. Overall we loved our time on these tours as you can see in the photos.
