About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- 477gunjanp0 contributionsChasing Northern Lights with Arctic AdventuresMy brain chemistry is forever altered from this once in a lifetime experience and it’s hands down to the most amazing guide through Arctic Adventures - “H”. He not only taught us the science behind chasing northern lights but made sure we would have an incredible experience. Cannot recommend this tour enough - please book it because it’s so worth it!Written February 13, 2025
- 948priscillak0 contributionsOnce in a lifetimeWe got to see the lights dance tonight! Which is a sight that apparently doesn’t happen often. Palli was also an amazing tour guide :) my friends and I had an amazing time.Written February 13, 2025
- 539ajain0 contributionsWe called the Northern Lights to us!Perfection! Is what I would call this experience! We were so blessed with such a strong surge to witness the Northern Lights. It was like standing under them and this is all because of Kreta. She is the best hype, best cheerleader and keeps you engaged with facts about the lights, their solar drop and everything else combined. She even made us learn the northern lights dance to call them out and keep us warm. She made us hot chocolate and even got us DSLR pictures under the lights. She knew the spot for us to witness magic and we cannot thank her enough.Written February 13, 2025
- 416kevt0 contributionsNorthern Lights - best show of the seasonUnbelievable. H was excellent. Refreshing, engaging, funny, and extremely knowledgeable. Found the perfect off-road spots to watch the dramatic northern lights. Very lucky. Thank you H. 13/02.Written February 13, 2025

- samari20130 contributionsThe best!I took the 5 day tour that starts and ends in Reykjavik and it was fantastic! Our guide Lili was the best, very knowledgeable, kind and patient. We got to see the lava cave, several waterfalls, a national park, a geysir and spent some time in a lagoon!Written February 13, 2025
- jackrF7905TS0 contributionsA must do!Great guy that took us on a wild adventure all night. Loved it! Also he gave us hot chocolate and homemade cookies as we hunted and successfully found the lightsWritten February 12, 2025

Although the beautiful northern lights are unpredictable Nikos was so determined to try his best! We did get to see the lights and it was truly a magical experience that I will hold very close to my heart. Thank you Nikos for making our experience a wonderful memorable one!Written February 12, 2025
- olegpC7437RF0 contributionsSuper!Amazing guide, he tried really hard to get us a good spot! Took many pictures, and got to see the breathtaking phenomenon for myself.Written February 11, 2025
- Guide592334901620 contributionsStunning scenery, excellent Christoph as guideAside from the scenery, the star of the show was our guide Christoph. Tour was excellent, Christoph was so friendly, professional, informative, helpful.. but truly outdone himself on return trip, with weather closing in, he guided us home safely, when we had seen an artic lorry, 5 cars, which were less fortunate that us, had gone into roadside from poor road conditions. Christoph at all times put our safety first, and yet, whilst trip slightly curtailed due to adverse weather, it did not impact on fantastic day and trip. He's to be commended for all if the above, but he can't claim credit for the scenery...Written February 11, 2025

- Anjali M0 contributionsGlacier HikeWe did the Glacier Explorer Hike. Def would consider this a moderate hike. Some more challenging elements, but plenty of time to really enjoy your surroundings and catch your breath if needed. We were truly lucky to have fantastic weather and a great guide - Darragh. Thank you for a wonderful experience!Written February 10, 2025
- susanmcgrade0 contributionsEPIC CHRISTMAS ADVENTURE FOR AUSTRALIAN MOTHER AND DAUGHTEREPIC!! My daughter & I had the most adventurous, fun, comfortable, warm, interesting exciting WILD time of our lives. 1600klms & 49 hours of driving the ring road of Iceland with our adorable Guide/Driver "YOI". He does have an Icelandic name but I can't remember it - sorry Yoi. Despite the snow, blizzards & road closures/challenges etc. Yoi got us to our destinations safely with his unique Icelandic comic relief. Note the Santa Suit which we could always find him amongst the crowd. The accommodation was warm & comfortable, breakfast was plentiful and the sites just out of this world. The whole landscape was like a movie set - think "Interstellar" or "Game of Thrones" . and YES we saw WHALES! We loved the glaciers, the horse farm, the geothermal baths, the food, everything. Christmas Dinner at The Wilderness Centre was very special. The food was authentic Icelandic Christmas fare & Christmas singing with Yoi, & fellow tour group (maybe it was the delicious Christmas beer which helped make it so special) was unforgettable. OH and the Sauna and outside dip in -10 degrees was pretty unforgettable too! Thank you Yoi for your wonderful guidance and safe handling of us all. You made our Christmas 2024 one of the most memorable times of our lives.Written February 9, 2025

This tour was spectacular. The tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable, the van was clean, and we stopped frequently to see new sights. I wish we had more time at each site, but that is not the fault of Artic Adventures as this is the action-packed tour that we picked. It was fun and is highly recommended.

I really loved the Lava cave, it was so unique and cool to see it. The tour guide was super and I learned a ton. Very cool to see all the ice and snow in the cave. Very beautiful in there. Golden circle tour is what it is. Not too exciting but something that you should definitely do.

The tour is a total waste of time and money. We went on 15 minute walk on a mostly metal platform up and down some stairs. There is nothing worth while for the money they are charging. The tour guides were very nice and pleasant but in good conscience I cant recommend. I did hear that the extreme is worth while but the one we took was a total waste of money. Find another activity that you will enjoy.
