Iceland

Aug 27 - Sep 4, 2025
We just returned from 8 days in Iceland that blew us away with the beauty of the country. We did many activities - lava tunnel tour, ice cave tour, whale watching, boating among the glaciers, helicopter tour. Each one was so exciting and elevated our experience with the “fire and ice” that is Iceland.
Emanuela at Arctic Travel put the whole trip together for us and was endlessly patient as we tried to plan the perfect trip. It worked! We started the trip with a visit to the blue lagoon and ended with a visit to the sky lagoon. Both great and would do it the same way again. Perhaps one of the biggest thrills was seeing the northern lights which we hadn’t expected as it was only end of Aug. but Sept 1 the lights were out in full and it was just the icing on a delicious cake.
Emanuela stayed in touch with us the whole trip and quickly dealt with a couple small issues so so could keep the trip going with just positive vibes.
Thomas was our tour guide and driver and he went out of his way many times to make our experience the best it could be. I would definitely recommend Kim Kim , Emanuela and Thomas. Perfect combination.
Activity Reviews
This tour deserves 10 stars. Our guide Rafal did an awesome job to plan the whole experience. We loved it but must admit that it was a private tour which I think was the right choice. If you are going to splurge on a tour, this is the one I would do private.
So interesting and informative. Well worth doing and seeing this lava tunnel.
We got so lucky today. The sun was shining and not many cloud in the sky. Perfect day for a helicopter ride.
Thomas - our guide and driver for the entire trip, picked us up for the return trip to the airport. He was very personable and flexible. He made sure that we got there on time every time.
Hello Carol,
Thank you so much for your beautiful review. It just made my day to read it and to know that you and the ladies had a great time, after all the planning we did together!
It has been truly wonderful to connect with you from the beginning of our conversation, and I am very happy to know that Thomas did a great job and you had a lot of fun.
Please feel free to connect again if you return to Iceland or if you and the ladies decide to visit Greenland, and I will be very happy to help you again with the planning.
All the best to all of you!
