    Bucket list item exceeds expectations!

    Highly recommend Arctic Adventures! Everything ran smoothly, with no hiccups, and the entire experience was very professional. Our six days traveling around Iceland in the beginning of September gave us a wonderful overview of this incredible country. Every day brought something new, from waterfalls, geysers, volcanoes, beautiful mountains, and glaciers to whales, seals, reindeer, and so many sheep and beautiful horses. We missed the puffins which we knew would happen. Along the way, we learned so much about Iceland’s history, culture, and what everyday life was—and is—really like there. We were also fortunate enough to see the Northern Lights twice! We spent a couple of days in Reykjavík before the tour began, which I highly recommend. It is such a beautiful, historic, clean, and interesting city. We were especially lucky to have Árný, “Sunny,” as our guide for our six-day tour of Iceland. Her nickname fits her perfectly! Sunny made this wonderful experience even better. She was warm, funny, knowledgeable, and always willing to help. We especially loved the personal stories she shared about her life and family. They made us feel as though we were experiencing Iceland with a local friend rather than simply taking a tour. She also had excellent recommendations for all things Iceland and was an outstanding driver. By the end of our six days, we were genuinely sad to say goodbye. She was a huge part of what made our Iceland trip so special and memorable. Thank you so very much, Árný! 🇮🇸❤️

    Response from the operator: Hi Stephanie, genuinely sad to say goodbye after six days together is the sign of a guide who became part of the trip, not just the person running it. Personal stories about life and family is someone sharing Iceland the way a friend would, not from a script but from experience. Thank you for joining us. Arctic Adventures Team

    Really great trip

    I really loved this trip. Elisa was such a great guide, so kind, helpful, and knowledgeable. She made the trip extra special.

    Response from the operator: Hi Leonora, really loved is a strong pair of words for six days around the island. A guide who made it extra special is someone who added something Iceland alone couldn't. Glad the trip earned that. Arctic Adventures Team

    Amazing 6 day tour through Iceland

    Iceland is beautiful, and the guide was very friendly and informative

    Best experience ever!

    The trip was well worth the money. Our driver/guides were very knowledgeable and went out of their way to show us more than what was on the program. Very professional, polite and patient! Jakob was especially and by far one of the nicest people I have ever met. I learned a lot of history from both drivers. I will definitely make Iceland a stop on future travels!

    Response from the operator: Hi Robin, thanks for sharing the details of your trip! One of the nicest people you've ever met is a compliment that goes well beyond guiding. Showing you more than what was on the program is two drivers who saw opportunities and took them instead of sticking to the script. Glad the history from both made you want to come back.

    Outstanding Experience

    This tour was exactly what I wanted. I was able to see the beauty of the country every day I was there. The length of the tour was just right for me. Arctic Adventures appears to be a well organized and an experienced company. Chow who was our mini bus driver and guide was outstanding. There were no issues. Everything was well planned and coordinated. Chow went way and above normal expectations to provide us the best possible experience. He was respectful and mindful of our needs and very approachable. The success of a tour resides on the guide’s skillset and Chow knocked it out of the park. Nice work. I highly recommend this trip.

    Response from the operator: Hi Joe, thanks for this. A guide who goes way above normal expectations and knocks it out of the park is exactly what we aim for on every tour. Glad the length and pacing worked perfectly for you, and that you got to see the country's beauty every single day. Arctic Adventures Team

    6-Day Around Iceland Small-Group Tour from Reykjavik: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Reykjavik.

    How much does 6-Day Around Iceland Small-Group Tour from Reykjavik cost?

    +

    Prices start at €1,630 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Reykjavik usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does 6-Day Around Iceland Small-Group Tour from Reykjavik take?

    +

    Plan for about 144 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Reykjavik is not rushed.

    Is 6-Day Around Iceland Small-Group Tour from Reykjavik worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 88 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 781 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Reykjavik, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule 6-Day Around Iceland Small-Group Tour from Reykjavik?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is 6-Day Around Iceland Small-Group Tour from Reykjavik suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 144-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book 6-Day Around Iceland Small-Group Tour from Reykjavik?

    +

    Around 273 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Reykjavik can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Reykjavik and add a light layer if any part of the 144-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does 6-Day Around Iceland Small-Group Tour from Reykjavik start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Reykjavik within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Reykjavik?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Reykjavik experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Reykjavik Food Walk - Local Foodie Adventure in Iceland, Silfra Snorkeling Between Continents Photos Included- Self Drive, Small-Group Golden Circle, Blue Lagoon with Ticket & Kerid Crater. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Reykjavik?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Reykjavik?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in 6-Day Around Iceland Small-Group Tour from Reykjavik?
