Arctic Adventures is the largest tour operator in Iceland offering the greatest variety of outdoor adventures. With seven base camps all around Iceland our customers are sure to find us near most of the country´s must-see sights.

We offer glacier hiking, river rafting, trekking, sea kayaking, caving, snowmobiling, super jeep safaris, snorkeling, surfing, quadbiking, incentives and much more. The possibilities are endless. We offer both day tours and multi day tours and they run all year round.

Arctic Adventures is an eco-adventure company and a proud member of "Leave No Trace".

Our roots lie in the first adventure company founded here in Iceland, all the way back in 1983 and we have been rafting the Hvítá river from the Drumbó base camp all those years. With a few rare exceptions all the tours we sell are OUR TRIPS, operated from start to finish by us! We use only the best equipment and we have a great crew of guides, all world travelers and talented leaders with a spark of adventure in their blood.

Through the years we have added activities and adventures to our selection in the most natural way, we are adventurers and outdoor fanatics committed to the cause of bringing our passion to the workplace!

Our foundation lies in our day tours, such as our river rafting tours on Hvítá river in South Iceland & East Glacial River in North Iceland, our snorkeling day tours in the Silfra fissure in Þingvellir National Park, our glacier hiking trips on Sólheimajökull in South Iceland and on Vatnajökull (from Skaftafell) in South East Iceland, our super jeep day tours on the Golden Circle and on the south coast of Iceland, our sea kayaking excursions from Reykjavik and from Ísafjörður, our hiking trips to the hot springs close to Reykjavik, to Hekla Volcano in the southern highlands and Snæfellsjökull Glacier in western Iceland, our world famous diving adventures in the Silfra fissure, our snowmobile excursions on the Langjökull glacier close to Gullfoss waterfall, our quad biking tours on the Hellisheiði mountain and much much more!

We also operate many extended multi-adventure tours in Iceland. On many of these tours we combine our adventure day tours into a great adventure holiday package to Iceland. In this way we can offer great value on an active holiday to Iceland. We offer both five day tours, week long tours and weekend trips to Reykjavik, which can be called adventurous "City Breaks" to Iceland. We are also famous for our trekking trips on the Laugavegur trail (from Landmannalaugar Hot Springs to Þórsmörk) in the Icelandic highlands. We also offer multi day hiking tours in the Icelandic Westfjords and Eastfjords. To top it off we run some of the greatest super jeep overnight trips in the world, with us you can drive up to the remote highlands to Landmannalaugar, Þórsmörk and Hveravellir in summer as in winter.

All of these tours are available in summer but we also offer a huge selection of winter activities and adventure tours in Iceland. All of our bestselling excursions are available at that time and of course some winter only adventures. For example, a full day of snowmobiling in the highlands, searching for the Northern Lights in a super jeep, sleeping in expedition tents on the Langjökull Glacier and much more!

Without any doubt we have the largest selection of adventure tours in Iceland, from our great white water rafting tours to lava caving, trekking, glacier hiking, self-drive super jeep tours, winter expeditions and everything in between. You can be sure to find something extraordinary to do in Iceland with us.
