We saw some lights and Armann was amazing. It seems many people on other tours weren’t so lucky but I think it was our guides local knowledge that nailed it for us. What’s more we had a running commentary about the old Gods and local history that was fascinating. I would do this tour again.

Kristjan came to our rescue at the last minute, taking five of us on a brilliant full day tour to Dettifoss. He was prompt, pleasant, easy to get along with, with excellent English and a great sense of humour. His off-road driving in deep snow was steady, safe and highly skilled. His knowledge of Icelandic geology, history, culture and industry kept us entertained and informed without it being intrusive as we travelled through the beautiful white landscape. He was calm and reassuring as he led us to the astonishing Dettfoss waterfall wearing snowshoes (coudn’t be easier). A breathtaking sight in a magnificent landscape. Best day of our holiday in lovely Iceland. Thank you so much!

Our main reason for coming to Iceland was to see northern lights so my daughter and I chose this tour with Jónas for just the two of us. He was absolutely amazing! We got to see the northern lights that we have been longing for for so long and he even treated us to homemade hot chocolate and very tasty donuts which was a nice touch. Jónas is a jack of all trades so he knows a lot about the area and can give you the science behind the lights. You can tell that he loves his country just based on how passionate he is and how excited he is to share it with visitors. He took professional pictures for us and allowed us to download them so that we could show them to our friends and family which is a fantastic perk since we could not get our cameras to work very well each time the lights showed up. We had done a similar northern lights tour in Reykjavik which had 15 people packed on a small bus where everything felt squished and rushed, but this trip was 10x better than that. You won’t be disappointed by having Jónas take you out to see the northern lights. He’s a wonderful person and treated us as guests unlike some of the bigger companies that just pack as many people as they can on a bus to get the most money. So book your next trip with Jónas and go see those northern lights as they are stunning!

Kristján was absolutely amazing! He made sure we got to see all of the amazing sites. Given this time of year things are tricky with weather you always have to be open to change! That being said we had the most amazing tome and got to see the sites we wanted to thanks to Kristján’s expert driving. In addition he is just such a pleasant person and we had great conversation. We will definitely contact him again when we are in town. If you want an amazing time seeing all of the great northern sites definitely use Arctic Fox travel
