We’ve just completed the 8 day ring road Iceland tour. It was absolutely brilliant. Our tour guide Karl was fantastic. He went above and beyond to make our trip sensational.
My only feedback was that we only ‘toured’ for 6 days. The extra 2 days was really only Arctic Adventures organising the accommodation for the nights In Reykjavik either side so effectively it really was just a 6 day tour. That said by them organising those 2 nights accommodation saved me from having to do it. The accommodation throughout the 8 days was sensational and Karl certainly guided us to the best restaurants along the way. We ended up with only 9 on the tour and we all got on brilliantly. It was a week I’ll never forget. Iceland certainly lived up to its reputation and so too did Arctic Adventures. They run a fabulous and reputable company.

My 8 day Iceland tour organized by Arctic adventures was one of the best travel experiences of my life. The team at Arctic adventures is very professional, responsive and helpful. The guide I had is truly the best travel guide I have ever had and I travel extensively. Arctic Adventures delivered everything and more. Their website is amazing as are their support staff and guides (at least the one I had who was beyond amazing).

I cannot say enough amazing things about the country but that is another story...

My only unpleasant experience relates to having nearly missed my return flight because I was simply not picked up by a company called Flybus that is listed on their website: but I would not hold articular branches per se as being responsible for the same.

Artic adventures gets an A plus, a 10 on 10 score!!

We took the 8days ring tour, first and last days is free and easy in Reykjavik so lucky to have had Bjorn as our tour guide for 6 days ring tours - he was incredibly knowledgeable, sense of humor patient and kind. Most importantly, he treated everyone like family. He kept us safe and happy. Thanks for everything! Book with Arctic Adventures! Highly recommended .

Artic Adventures 8  Day Ring Rd Tour
Artic Adventures provided a well rounded 6 day tour of the Island with hotel accommodation before and after the trip.Central office provided excellent email communications and corrected errors on dates of lodging quickly when brought to their attention.
Van for travel was clean,comfortable, ample room under seats and above bins for rental equipment and personal items for the 15 in our group.Charging port, phone holder with pull down tray included in the newer van.Luggage was placed in Uhaul trailer the van pulled behind,tour guide always put the luggage in and out for us.Our Tour Guide/ Van driver Almar  "Al" had a love for his country that just shined!Our guided tour with crampons at a Glacier was guided by Michael.He was very personable,explained and assisted when needed.He took our tour at the pace we could handle learning a new skill.Whale watching was a tour of a few groups on the tour boat.Top deck provided a view for about 12 people and the rest of 25 or so had to often miss the show as the boat was often head on instead of turning to allow those on main deck a good view of whales sighted.Our van tour guide was able to get some good pictures he shared with our small group.
Back on the van,Al had an enormous amount of information on all the parks,history of landmarks, and a never ending wealth of patience to our countless questions! Everyday he provided the itinerary ,where housing for the evening and information on where we could eat during the mid day and evening.Frequent stops every hour or aso were provided for bathroom breaks and drinks.Al encouraged us to switch seats every day to allow a different view for all.He helped us to discover the Northern Lights and invited us out to view them, every night outside the capital. Al united our diverse group and we are still communicating with each other.
The tour had many adventures, an Icelandic Horse Farm visit, an extra fee for Thermal pool swim as well as a beautiful daily waterfall,parks,beaches,hot springs, iceberg coves, seals,sheep,Artic foxes,and old Volcanic sites.Would highly recommended this tour if you want to sit back and enjoy the view,not worry about driving,housing and meals.

If you ever want to experience Iceland:
Right here!
Find Adolf & book him!
Adolf braved taking on this 18 headed German Family for 6 days and he showed us everything that Iceland has to offer! He’s an Icelandic native, has the best stories and an incredible depth of knowledge about all that makes this fascinating country so different and fun to visit!
This bus tour went completely around the island, with lots of amazing stops and Adolf always made sure everything was completely taken care of - including beautiful weather 🤩
Seriously, he made this tour so entertaining, fun, informative and he truly went above and beyond what you would expect of a great tour guide! We all felt extremely lucky to have had him as our guide.
So, if you ever go to Iceland - make sure to go with #arcticadventures and specifically ask for Adolf. You’ll thank me later!

Our tour package included 2 nights hotel stay before and after the tour. The hotels we stayed in all had their own personalities and ambience. They were clean and the amenities were sufficient for our nightly stay. I just wished that our before and after hotel was located closer to downtown Reykjavik. Our guide was very patient and went out of his way to accommodate the group's needs. Considering that he's only been with the company for about six months, he had done an excellent job showing us around. I'm sure with more in depth training, he'll be able to expound more on the history of all the wonderful sights along the way. We were able to see and do so much in those six days. The amazing sights and experiences cannot be beat!

We just spent 6 fantastic days with a terrific guide, Svava, who took us not just to some of the most known spots, but who also kept the trip dynamic. Svava showed the deepest knowledge on a variety of topics around Iceland, from ancient History to geology and culture.
