Another planet! - Absolutely incredible experience the views were nothing like we've seen before. It's like another planet. Our tour guide was efficient and helpful in walking with us through the hike and got us back quickly! The trail was doable and our tour guide had good pace.

An unforgettable journey - My Kerlingarfjöll Hike was clearly an outstanding day with the best guide you can imagine. Our small group started out with stormy winds, and I needed a bit support for stability. Our guide did just the right thing, and all went well. During the hike we made several short stops and learnd a lot about geology, the different kinds of lava and much more amazing facts. (...and at the same time we could catch our breath..) I shot photos with amazing results, the cloudy sky and the fog with a few sunpatches made a unforgettable journey. Thank you!

Breathtaking small hike - I joined the small group for a long day drive to the highlands and middle of Iceland. The trek is spectacular and our local guide (whose name I am not remembering) was terrific and very informative, he had loads of interesting history to share. The trail is very much single file and trekking poles a must as we had lots of snow and mud on the down hill trail. Highly recommend it is extraordinary!

Hike not for the timid - Artic Adventures and the guide were excellent. I gave the trip three stars because the description is deceiving. The hike is touted as going through thermal valleys and snow fields. They left out hiking up stairs without rails or ropes to cross over narrow ridges. The trail is pure muck. Not hiking shoes or hiking boots, galoshes are needed. We hiked only part way and then returned to the parking lot to follow a well marked path. The younger participants completed the loop. Overall we had a good day but wished we had been better advised on the hike.
