Iceland was our 6th Active Adventure tour. We have seen so many wonderful places. Iceland is so special because it is truly a land of fire and ice. Where can you go to see magnificent waterfalls and on the same hike arrive at a view of a glacier? Where can you visit a volcano, geyser and just a few miles away witness icecaps with glaciers flowing from them? How about a black beach with icebergs floating and resting on the beach? ICELAND is the answer!
The hut to hut hiking experience with the fjords and every changing mountain terrain and view was a thrill to experience.
All of these make for a great tour but what makes it a memory of a lifetime are the people and experiencing the culture. I cannot say enough about our guide Thora. She sang Icelandic songs, taught us a dance, told us some of the sagas. Most of all she shared her love of Iceland. It was an unforgettable experience.

We loved our Lundi trip - guide Pora (Thora with the Icelandic Th) was wonderful. Highlight was kayaking the glacial lagoon!

We never intended to go to Iceland but decided to do so when our Mont Blanc Trip was cancelled for the second time in two years. What a mistake! Iceland should have been our first choice in the beginning. This is truly a wonderful country and Active Adventures has designed a trip that shows off a lot of what the huge island has to offer. The trip was as advertised in regard to difficulty. Even the last four days with three long hikes back to back was managed by our guides so that everyone was successful. It was a wonderful time indeed.

We booked a trip with Active Adventures, New Zealand to Iceland in July 2021. The experience was one of the best we've ever experienced. This is our second trip with this tour group and once again it delivered an experience that was tailored to each individual's abilities that were on the trip. Our experienced guides became great friends and navigating the complicated travel caused by COVID was handled efficiently and safely by those taking care of us. First-class trekking was experienced as well as some very challenging days. All in all, it was worth every dollar and Krona spent!

Iceland has a magical landscape and warm and friendly people who clearly love and want to care for the environment they share as their home. The hiking is hard but oh so worth it. Most of the time we were on trails only frequented by sheep, not people so you truly earned the sights of the trip. Thora was the most amazing guide. Her love for her country and all it has to offer shines through her smile and knowledge.

This trip was incredible and unforgettable! The second part of the Stelkur trip was my favorite since we never saw another person while hiking. Our guide Thora was amazing and her love for Iceland shines through. I learned so much about the culture as well as the geography. I’ll definitely be coming back to Iceland!

The scenery on this trip was awesome! Iceland is a very rugged country and our guides knew the best places visit in order to avoid the crowds and bad weather, but still see amazing sites. We had so many memorable experiences with the group - like walking on a glacier and kayaking in a lagoon with icebergs. This trip was an excellent way to see the sites and experience Icelandic culture.

Iceland is fascinating: glaciers, volcanoes, geysers, natural hot springs, waterfalls, rugged coastlines, black sand, golden sand - and weather that changes all the time. The country is certainly feeling the effects of climate change, which is all the reason to go there sooner rather than later. We found Active Adventures to be the exact right way to explore this wonderful place - great guides, a small compatible group, and just the right mix of activity (and quite varied activity), travel (without the hassle of driving yourself around), and fun.
