One to remember!

Published on Jan, 2025

Amazing day trip from Reyjavik with Arctic Adventures and our driver / guide Toby. We did the Golden Circle with Snowmobiling on a Safari Jeep (small tour) and we loved every moment. There was loads packed in from hearing Icelandic history and folk stories to seeing Thingvellir park and the recreated parliament and meeting / parting of the American and Eurasian tectonic plates, watching the geysers blow and steam, snowmobiling on the glaciers with the incredible snowmobiling team (including Toby and Andre) to the visit on our way back to Reyjavik to the beautiful Gullfoss waterfall. Memorable day and can completely recommend Arctic Adventures and the team! :)

Had a fantastic time on...

Had a fantastic time on the tour, small group of like minded travellers who were looked after and kept well entertained by Franklin (tour guide), who helped make the trip a memorable one.

Real tour that will leave you wanting to visit again

Expert tour guide. My family fully enjoyed this excursion. Outdoor fun was what we were looking for. This trip is great for teens and adults. The waterfalls we stunning. The tour was enlightening and the geysers were a bit of a thrill. The only downfall is we didn't get to stay longer.

Amazing tour with Rebecca !!!

Published on Oct, 2024

I had the joy and privilege of booking a day tour around Golden Circle with an amazing tour guide, Rebecca. I had an amazing time discovering wonderful parts of this amazing place. Getting to spend time in Kerið crater, Gullfoss among many other unique places was breathtaking. The experience was greatly embellished by the tour guide, Rebecca. During the entirety of the trip she would point out small intricate and fascinating details, tell the tales of the local folklore, make appropriate and funny jokes to keep the mood of everyone on the trip cheerful. She was also very thoughtful of the needs of everyone, making sure everyone had the time they needed to visit what they wanted and enjoy every part of their trip. I can go on and on about how well my experience went on this day trip with Rebecca, but words can hardly describe how much fun I had that day. Having worked in tourism this was just an unforgettable experience not only, of course, because of the location but also because of the tour guide that really made the experience and day as good as it could have gotten !!! I am truly happy that Rebecca was my tour guide that day and would absolutely book many more tours with her next time I visit Iceland. It was one of the best experiences of my life. Best wishes, Jack

Fun, Safe, and Comfortable!

I went on this excursion with a traveling group and had an amazing time! Lili was our trip advisor and she was very knowledgeable about Iceland history and the places we went. I had a mobility scooter and the company was very accommodating! Lili kindly got it out of the vehicle when needed. She made sure everyone enjoyed our adventure! I highly recommend using them and will definitely do so myself whenever I return to Iceland.
