Fantastic! But cramped bus. - We did the 8-day Northern Lights tour (which we later found was just the 6-day tour plus a northern lights boat tour before and a northern lights bus tour after (ours was cancelled). My review is for the 6-day tour. Iceland is beautiful and amazing! The tour was fantastic. All the sites that were packed in were incredible. Our tour guide Lili was top notch and really elevated the experience! WE LOVE LILI! Not only does she have a wonderful personality (perfect for this job), she took us to great lunch stops too (organic farm, small kitchens with homemade food, etc.) Great food, great sites, great experience! My only problem with the tour .... while we had a brand new bus (with wifi and charging ports), the aisle was so narrow and the spacing between rows was worse than an airplane. It was just so cramped and tight. The experience would have been better with more breathing space. By the end it just felt so claustrophobic. There were 18 of us on the bus (full bus) and thankfully a great group of people. We got along well and had so much fun together. (Our luggage had to be pulled by trailer b/c there was no room on the bus for luggage. The bus was not really designed for this type of trip.)

6 day golden circle - We joined the 6 day golden circle tour and had Ronan as our guide who is extremely knowledgeable and funny and made the tour a very enjoyable experience. Had to detour due to road closed in Hofn from bad weather and flood but Ronan was quick to get us back on track with a backup plan. Always gone above and beyond and we all really appreciate it!

Extremely interesting and spectacular experience. - We took the 6-day tour around Iceland with two separately organized evening excursions to see the northern lights. We saw auroras three nights, two of them were extremely good. We had good weather for almost all days. Our guide, Karl Gudlaugsson, was knowledgeable, funny, always ready with tips and assistance, and a skilled driver. The hotels were good, the sights spectacular, the whale watching excellent.

Amazing 6 days in Iceland - The tour was comprehensive and well-balanced in terms of difficulty, diversity and duration. Special mention goes to Karl, our guide, whose dry wit and not-so-in-your face style helped us to endure the long bus rides.

Magical, well-organised tour of Iceland - with a great guide - The 6 day Arctic Adventures tour circumnavigating Iceland was magical. The result? I've fallen in love with the mountains, waterfalls, heathlands, lava flows, autumn colours, trolls and elf-houses of this ever-astounding country. Our guide, Karl, was knowledgeable, entertaining, laconic and ironic in turn, and always willing to go the extra step to ensure everyone had a wonderful time. He was - a critical characteristic! - a safe and confidence-inducing driver, and when there was a minor medical event (nothing to do with any feature of our trip) which required attention, he organised treatment without either fuss or a break in our itinerary. The accommodation was of a very high standard, and everything ran like clockwork. This tour was excellent value; catered to all levels of ability / fitness; and I'd recommend it without any reservations at all. In fact, were Arctic Adventures to offer a 14 day version, allowing more time to explore the countryside and with a few rest days thrown in, I will be putting up my hand to take part.

Amazing experience with arctic adventures (and our guide Karl) - I recently did the 6-day Ring Road tour with Arctic Adventures, and it was absolutely amazing. Our guide, Karl, made the journey even more memorable with his humor, singing, and the many fascinating stories he shared about the different locations we visited along the way. His energy and knowledge kept the entire group engaged throughout. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to experience the beauty of Iceland in an enjoyable and unforgettable way.

Wonderful introduction to Iceland - We had a wonderful time on the 6-day around Iceland tour. Our guide Karl was absolutely fantastic and hit the sweet spot of the right mixture of explanations, music and humor. He skillfully guided us at the sites and throughout the check-in and checkout process at each hotel. I had a medical issue during the tour which required a visit to a doctor en route which he handled extremely efficiently, without causing undue delay to the other passengers. The hotels were quite comfortable and made a fast-paced tour actually relaxing. All in all, we had a great time and would recommend it without reservation to others.

Perfect Tour of Iceland - We had the absolute pleasure of being guided by Karl on our 6-day tour, and he made the entire experience unforgettable. Having an Iceland-born guide really elevated the trip—he shared so many fascinating insights about the culture, history, and landscapes that we never would have learned otherwise. On top of that, he added in a few secret stops that weren’t on the official itinerary, and every single one of them was breathtaking and felt like a special gift. The six days were filled with nonstop beauty: dramatic waterfalls, glaciers, black sand beaches, and sweeping views. We were lucky enough to catch the northern lights and saw more rainbows than we could count. Karl kept the schedule flowing smoothly while still making space for little moments to stop and take it all in, which we appreciated so much. Our group of 18 became surprisingly close during the journey. By the end, dinners felt less like eating with strangers and more like sitting down with family—sharing stories, laughs, and the day’s highlights. It was the perfect way to experience Iceland, and Karl’s passion and care made all the difference.

The Best Trip of all - The tour was the best experience I could have ever done. Knowing the island with a guide (Óskar, you are amazing 🥰) made the trip easier and much more enjoyable. Absolutely nothing to complaint about. Just good memories.

I feel that I have seen everything in Iceland - I apologize that 57 hours didn't give Arctic adventure hour newer hotel location but Diddi managed to find us. Thank you. My partner and I truly feel that we have seen all that geological offerings that Iceland has to offer. 6 days was probably a bit more than necessary and 4 or 5 days might have worked. Sidebar stories and tales and explanations were great by Diddi. I felt the driving was safe. All of the accommodations were fine. Meals were almost too much but that's my own fault. Decent bathroom breaks. Driver exceedingly patient and kind with all of us.
