Testimonials

From Simone

Dear Arctic Adventures
I’d like to thank you for making my recent trip to Iceland such a wonderful experience.  I took a variety of winter activities with you and thoroughly enjoyed them all.

Meo and Lisa were perfect guides for the Glacier climbing trip.  They had an ideal balance between making the trip fun and exciting, yet also safe.  I learnt a lot on the trip, with Meo teaching me just enough at each stage,  without me feeling overloaded with information.  They both made me feel extremely comfortable asking questions, and I felt in extremely safe hands.

Laurent was a wonderful friendly guide for the snorkelling trip, again instilling confidence, while maintaining a fun and friendly atmosphere.  I would really like to thank him for going the extra mile to make the Northern lights hunt happen.  Despite the unpredictable weather and snowfall, he ensured that we didn’t miss out on a thing.  

The knowledge, expertise and enthusiasm of your guides made my holiday a terrific experience which I will remember for a very long time.
I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending you.
 
Thank you
Simone Hunter
