10 Stars if I could! Amazing - The journey to the southern coast and glacier hike were filled with once in a lifetime moments. The landscape is heavenly and quite frankly beyond words. One should see it with their own eyes to appreciate the beauty of Iceland. Julian, our guide, was kind, knowledgeable, and friendly. I highly recommend this adventure.

The best tour guide Iceland has to offer! - This was the best tour we have ever taken in all of our travels around the world. We stayed 2 weeks in Iceland and out of all of the wild adventures we went on, our private tour with Julian (Arctic Exped) was definitely the best time we had while visiting this beautiful country. We reserved a 3 day private tour for a family of four (my wife and I with our 2 boys ages 7 and 11). Julian was very personable and took the best care of my family. He did his best to accommodate our requests and did an excellent job keeping us on schedule, showing us amazing locations that blew our mind. He took us to the most beautiful jewels of Iceland that were very much removed from the overly crowded tourist areas. We were very pleased with our experience and would highly recommend Arctic Exped to any small group looking to have a very personable and customized trip.

Julian is the best!!! - My goodness, I have so many wonderful things to say about Julian O’Neal and his Iceland hiking tour!! Not only is he the most patient man on the planet (especially with three silly women from Texas), but he was also calm under stress and kind to all of those around him. He was very knowledgeable about everything in Iceland and even put on theme music when coming up on big sights to give us the full experience!! I can’t say enough about him. You leave his tour feeling like you have a brother and friend left in Iceland! Highly recommend!!

South Coast tour and Glacier Hike - We had an amazing tour which was fun and unforgettable. I would highly recommend this tour if you come to Iceland to be able to see the main sights. We were able to see the waterfalls and hike on a glacier taking amazing photos and ended the day at a secret black sand beach. Our guide Julien was really the best! He got our 8 year old involved and actually excited to do the glacier hike. We had a really awesome day.

Unforgettable glacier hike, ice cave adventuring, waterfalls & secret beach - We booked this after making an impromptu decision to visit Iceland to experience its winter delights - after looking at all the options, I found this. I wasn’t too keen on the idea of big coach trips with lots of people and a strict timetable, so for just a small extra expense (there are 4 of us, now all at adult prices) this seemed like a great option. And I was not wrong, it was a great day out! Julian is a really easy going, friendly and fun guide who really knows what he is doing and wants to make sure you are having a great time. He clearly loves this place and wants to share that knowledge & enthusiasm. He strikes a great balance between being fun and informative. The waterfalls were spectacular, but the glacier hike was an amazing experience our family will never forget. Because there were only the five of us, at times it felt like we had the glacier to ourselves, which was pretty magical. We got to visit an ice cave, the kids got to rappel down the ice to access it (it wasn’t for me, maybe next time, and there was an alternative route!) Julian was well organised, fun, encouraging and calm, even making my teens totally forget that they were previously grumbling about going on a 3 hour hike/wearing safety equipment. We had a delicious lunch, then finished off the day with some off road excitement on the other black sand beach, where again, we were on our own in this wild landscape. Just us and a shipwreck on the frozen black sand. The only thing we didn’t see whist in Iceland was the northern lights, on our way back it was unfortunately cloudy after a good clear day, but I am certain that if there was any chance of seeing them on the drive home, Julian would have found them for us! He is 100% committed to ensuring your experience is a good one. I’m really pleased that we did this, it is one of the best things I’ve ever done, and I would definitely recommend it over the many other bus trips you could book. They won’t be a patch on this. Thanks so much for our adventure Julian!
