We booked 5 days private tour with Iceland Premium Tours, and we were hosted by none other than the CEO Orvar himself. He has been very accommodating towards our request, and provided his unparalleled understanding of Iceland itself. We have been hit by bad weather thru the week, he never stopped a moment to suggest alternate alternatives, without compromising of safety. When we were on the way to the airport, knowing that we did not managed to see the aurora, he took a last effort and drove us to a location for a last ditch effort. And we managed to catch a glimpse of it finally! Thank you Orvar!

Excellent, one of our best experiences in Iceland. Przemo put on a great tour and was super knowledgeable. Took great care of us going through the lava tube and checking out some of the geysers and geothermal hot spots outside if Reykjavik. Totally above and beyond what we expected, highly recommend these guys to anyone visiting Iceland.

We booked the trip from New York, and we’d heard of Sarah through friends in India. The trip was very meticulously planned, and proved to be a very good respite during the pandemic. Iceland is a very beautiful country, and Arago added quite a few unconventional stops on our tripX which made it even more memorable.

Like Ralph Waldo Emerson once said. Do not go where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail. Agenda is as simple as 2 + 2 first we’ll warm up hiking to our farthest destination, before descending into each cave we start with stretching, then exploration time and be ready for some squats, push-ups and more stretching ! More effort you put into these exercises more you’ll see and oh boy take our word for it, there is plenty to see ! Depending on your fit level we’ll see anywhere between 2 to 4 caves. So you’ll get some cardio/ work out day for sure. We do caving often and we know there is nothing better than warm bath after half a day spent underground in humid and cool environment but than again bath sounds sooo boring. Unless you are in Iceland where you can just simply submerge yourself in a natural hot geothermal stream... Found in a beautiful valley up in the mountains, enjoining tasty Icelandic style hot dog prepared with a help of hot springs!

Inclusions: Coffee and/or Tea, Fresh Icelandic style hot-dogs made on the spot, WiFi on board, Shiny gift to remember about us once you leave the island, Helmets, crampons, headlamps, gloves

We traveled with Andres on this tour for two days. Such a beauty of nature starting with exhibition Lava centre in small town, we continue to several waterfalls and much more. Just to make it shorter, day later we visited glacier, glacial lagoon, diamond beach and else. Andres was very knowledgeable, he was willing to stop on some special spots so it was really private tour.

Just returned form Iceland. Christinn from Angler.is had organised my whole trip, fishing for Char, Brown trout and Salmon. The trip was extremely well organised, action packed with more fishing than you could ask for. The transfers were all on time and well organised, the accommodation was absolutely ideal with fantastic food. The fishing was brilliant, loads of Char, few trout and more Salmon than I have ever caught. Christinn guided me for all the fishing and was spot on every time and he also comfortably transported me to all locations.
