This will include my 78th birthday. I have completed The Heysen Trail - 60 different walks, 1200kms. - Kokoda New Guinea) - Route burn 43kms, Milfourd-37kms Keppler 40oddkms (New Zealand) over many years. I currently walk 30kms a week in the Adelaide area.

The numbers you have provided are quite impressive, we believe our 4-day Trekking adventure could be a great addition to your previous adventures!

Is a self-guided version of this tour available?

The tour is arranged to be done with an experienced guide to assure everyone's safety and well-being. Our support vehicle transports luggage and food between the points where the group spends the night. The guests could choose to walk a bit away from the group during the hikes, but meals are prepared and typically eaten together. Unfortunately, we cannot arrange for someone to do the entire tour on their own, without a guide or support vehicle, but if they intend to carry their provisions, tent, sleeping bag, etc., for 4 days, they could hike the area without booking a tour. The guided tour offers a more comfortable experience, with all the necessary preparations arranged, eliminating the need to carry heavy backpacks and allowing guests to enjoy the trek to the fullest.

On my Tourradar page the tour information and accommodation clearly indicate Huts for our accommodation. Suddenly the email received today from Arctic Adventures indicates Huts OR camping in tent. For a close to $3000 cost for 3 nights & 4 days of hiking and meals, sleeping in a tent is completely unacceptable and not possible for me given my back issues. Kindly confirm that I will be provided with Hut accommodation as per my tour details commensurate with the price.

You received this kind of email because we operate this tour with two accommodation options: huts or tents - but I confirm you booked the one with accommodation in Huts!

What equipment should I bring for a hiking tour?

You should bring thermal underwear, wool or fleece thermal mid-layers, hiking pants, waterproof jackets, gloves, thick socks, waterproof hiking boots, a sleeping bag, river crossing shoes, and personal medical kits.

Are there charging facilities at the accommodations?

Accommodations feature showers and toilets, and device charging facilities are available, but specific arrangements may vary.

Are we eligible for this hike if we are over 70 years old? We are both fit and active.

You are more than welcome to join the tour. Especially if you are active and in good shape.

Are reservations for specific dates flexible?

Dates for tours are fairly flexible, subject to availability, with options provided in case of booking issues.

What are the luggage size restrictions?

Luggage should be limited to 20 kg per person and it's recommended that you pack light due to limited space.

Are there age restrictions on the tours?

Age restrictions apply to some tours. Please check specific details for the tour you are interested in.

Can you please advise if you have a waiting list for the date of July 28th, 2024?

We unfortunately do not have a waiting list. The closest dates available are on July 26th and 31st.

The hike, Aaron- our guide and the people met along the way were everything I’d hoped for. It was wonderful. The food was unexpectedly great and I had paid extra for dietary restrictions that were adequately cared for. I came to Iceland specifically for this hike and I was not disappointed. I paid extra money to rent a rain jacket and pants from the company. What I got was a non waterproof rain jacket with a hood that didn’t have a tie. It was useless. The pants were ripped. I had no alternative as I rented them because I thought that the company would provide what I needed for the hike I signed up for. After the first day I was soaked through. That coat did not dry for the entirety of the time I had it. Another hiker was kind enough to give me his extra coat which literally saved me. Had it not been for his kindness, your company providing inadequate gear I paid extra for would have put me in danger. A non waterproof coat that was also broken and of terrible quality could have quickly put me in a very bad situation. It severely dampened (literally) and otherwise fantastic experience.Show more

Great tour. Despite some very bad unexpected bad weather our guide went above and beyond to ensure we were safe and comfortable. When the weather wasn’t in our favour always had a plan B. Cosy neat accomodation. Lots and lots of delicious food. Definitely won’t go hungry! Beautiful beautiful scenery.Show more

Dear Justine Christie, Thank you for taking the time to write this review. Our professional guides are trained to deal with unexpected weather conditions, which happens a lot over here in Iceland. Unfortunately, this makes us amend the itinerary of our tours sometimes but we try to make the best of the situation :) We are glad you enjoyed the food, the accommodation and also noticed the guide taking an extra step for our customers. Best regards, Laura S.
