Great guide. Great driver. Great companion - Excellent guide. He adjusted the day to fit the weather. Julien is also very knowledgeable about the geology of the county. He took us to places we didn’t know existed. He is very enjoyable companion.

Stunning locations with a superb guide. Book in advance to ensure you are getting the most customized experience - You're spending a lot of money to get a superb experience. You can trust Arctic Exped to deliver. Rob, in particular made our experience exceptional. He has all the things you're looking for - serious outdoor adventure skills (off roading, glacier hiking, river crossing), fabulous personality (great conversationalist, fun guy, interesting history), an eye towards safety (you're doing things that could be dangerous, and he makes them safe enough to just be fun), and fabulous photography skills (he was really good at helping us get amazing drone shots and he competed with us for iconic photographs along the way!! We encountered a young couple who tried to cross a river and didn't make it. He rapidly made the rescue to get them out of their car and safely into shore. That could have been deadly for them, but was just another feature of our amazing time with him. Rob is more than a guide, he's a hero and a new friend. That young couple is the exact reason you hire a good guide. They keep you safe, know where to go and ensure you see as much as possible. No wrong turns, comfortable driving in 0 visibility conditions and knows the secret spots. Finding black sand beaches isn't hard, but finding empty black sand beaches with a shipwreck and seals frolicking takes a local. Finding caves - easy, but finding a cave in a canyon with a river flowing through it and no one else for miles takes a knowledgable guide. Knowing which rivers to cross, where to cross them and which ones present too big a risk, that's where you want a professional. Julian runs a really good company offering seriously authentic experiences that get you into the heart of Iceland's natural beauty. He is obviously selective about the guides he works with. But they have equally high standards, rendering safe, spectacular and sensory overload experiences. These tours are built for expedition style adventurers who have climbing, hiking, and glaciering skills, but they also made this totally accessible for our group of 3 total old age amateurs.

Highly recommend, was an amazing day! - Amazing day hiking the glacier and doing some ice climbing. Julian was patient and kind and knowledgeable about the area and its history. A private tour was wonderful to go at our own pace, highly recommend this!!

Lots of Adventure, Relaxation, Food, Pictures, and More - We had an amazing trip with Julian! We spent five days with him driving along the south coast and stopping along the way for ice cave exploring, glacier hiking, waterfall views, geysers, hot springs, beach walks, rock formations, and more. Julian had answers for every question we asked, was great company, and helped us plan the trip perfectly to balance adventure with relaxation, avoid crowded times at certain places, take great pictures, and eat great food. Couldn't recommend him more!

Creating memories. - Julian was the best guide ever! He was so informative and conscious of our individual needs. He gave us a day to remember forever. My grandsons said it was their favorite part of the trip. The ice caves were an experience they’ll never forget.

Trip of a Lifetime in Iceland - We finished a small group tour for 7 days in October with another company and added the private South Coast tour with ice cave with Julian for 3 days. This was actually the best part of our entire trip. Julian was very knowledgeable about Iceland and his love for the country really came through. He was very professional, pleasant and kind. He really took care of all the details. We were able to visit a private black beach where our footprints were the only ones there-stunning views. We went to Diamond beach, Glacier Lagoon, Seljalandsfoss (where he provided waterproof jackets to walk behind the falls), Skogfoss. He even convinced me to put on crampons and visit an ice cave. (Not a small thing after knee replacement surgery 4 months earlier) He literally was there every step of the way and I only attempted it because I trusted him. (True, Julian) We visited Reynisfjara beach, glacier Lagoon, churches and so many sites! I really liked that he knew uncrowded places for the best views. He also took us to some great lunch spots that were unique. His excellent photography was a great record of our trip. My only regret was that we did not book our entire tour with him.

Amazing Iceland experience thanks to Arctic Exped! - 10/10 for this amazing company that offered us the experience of a lifetime! Thanks to comfortable transportation, lots of inside knowledge and personal treatment, we were able to enjoy the beauty of Iceland to the fullest.

most incredible experience in iceland - katarzyna was amazing guide, driver, photographer. all in one. adventurous and very acomodating to all group needs. we went on a two day joyrney with her golden circle and ice hiking. she took us to the most incredible hidden spots gave us the best recomendatios and was a pleasure to be around.

Incredible Two Days with Arctic Exped in Iceland - Incredible day with Julian touring the south coast with a walk in the Katla Ice Caves. So many great things to see. Julian picked us up at the cruise terminal in town and off we went with a great first stop and a walk and drive on the black sand beaches. Great waterfalls, views of glaciers, and we topped it off with a neat walk in the Katla Ice Caves. Julian is incredibly knowledgeable, entertaining, and a source of great info and experiences to share. We did a second day with him seeing the middle of Iceland to the Kerlingarfjoll area in the Highlands that we even more extraordinary than we could have imagined. Julian is the man to travel with in Iceland!!

Adventure of a lifetime. - I recently embarked on an journey with Arctic Exped, and it was truly an adventure of a lifetime! Julian took us to some of Iceland’s most stunning and remote locations, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Camping in Þakgil was a truly unique experience. Nestled in a valley surrounded by mountains, the campsite offered a really peaceful night. Our hike to Huldujökull was the highlight of our trip. The trail was taking us through diverse terrains, from rocky paths to snowy mountains. Along the way, Julian shared fascinating stories and insights about the area’s geology, flora, and fauna, making the hike even more enriching. The ascent was challenging but rewarding, with each step bringing us closer to the majestic glacier. If you’re seeking an unforgettable and thrilling experience in Iceland, I highly recommend the Langjökull snowmobile tour. The combination of beautiful landscapes, and the excitement of snowmobiling on a glacier makes this adventure a must-do for any visitor. Our last stop was the Katla ice cave. A beautiful ice cave with an amazing view where had a little taste of ice climbing. Thank you Arctic exped for the amazing journey!!!
