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... read more 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... read more 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!
5 Day tour with pick up from airport - Blue lagoon, golden triangle, glacier hike, ice caves, south coast tour. - Julian the owner was absolutely amazing and he catered for the 8 of us. With pick up and and drop off back to the airport included he took care of... read more everything which helped as we had young kids.
Going in December I was a bit worried about driving in snow conditions but we booked Artic Exped to do the driving for us and made the arrangements for hotels / excursions - this made our experience hassel free.
Thank you so much Artic Exped for the wonderful exprience and memories of Iceland.
