We just adventured with Arctic Mike over the last two days on his small group Golden Circle and South Coast Tours. Let’s just say there will never be a better tour guide EVER. He made our Iceland trip!

He treated us like family. Guiding us with care, expertise and perfect planning. His wealth of knowledge about Iceland enriched our experience. He took care of everything- picking us up at our hotel, navigating the narrow roads, paying for parking, making reservations at restaurants, serving us during lunches, and knowledge of the closest restrooms. We felt like VIPs!

Did I mention he’s an amazing photographer? Knowing the best locations for those once in a lifetime photo memories, where to stand, how to work with the light, the perfect exposure settings, and he sends you them during the tour! He has waterproof gear for the waterfalls, hot chocolate after a long chilly day, water in his van, and sends you an email the day before with what to pack and wear for the day’s excursion. If you have personalized needs like dietary restrictions or mobility issues, Mike carefully takes everyone’s needs into consideration, customizing the tour to guarantee you have the best experience. Spending the two days with him experiencing Iceland’s natural beauty truly the highlight of our Iceland trip.

If you’re looking for the best way to experience Iceland in a short amount of time, I highly recommend BOTH of Arctic Mike’s Golden Circle and South Coast tours.
