Akureyri Tours and Trips

Everything was perfect about the trip but the most important thing was the tour leader Einar. He could not be bettered - an amazing person, knowledgeable, got us immediately (and we were quite an unusual bunch!), was funny, took us to local places that meant something to him and his family. Brilliant.

This was my first solo trip and my first time using Explore! It was a brief tour but it allowed me to get accustomed to the tour experience. Our tour leader, Einar, was exceptional. He made the trip both educational and entertaining. Einar shared his Icelandic heritage graciously and answered all of our questions with kindness. Our group was a wonderful mixture of ages and personalities and we blended very well. We even got to see the Northern Lights! 😊 I highly recommend this tour and look forward to my next adventure with Explore!

Our trip to Iceland was absolutely stunning and Charlie the Traveler curated an amazing and adventurous trip for us that kept in mind all of the attractions that were on our list and many other gems this beautiful country has to offer. We hit a few roadblocks with our tours due to weather conditions and volcanic activity in the area, but Charlie The Traveler and his team were on it at every moment and were able to provide us with alternative tours that did not take away from the overall experience. His team is led by individuals that truly cares about your experience. If you need a perfect trip planned then Charlie the Traveler is the way to go. This trip has been absolutely perfect and can’t wait to come back and explore it again.

Appreciate all the work booking the experience and various tours over the past 9 days. Also a big thank you to Mae who was very helpful and accommodating as we changed some plans along the way. We would love to come back and experience Iceland again in the summer months in future.

Such an impossible island, fierce, reserved, constantly restless beneath it’s surface … days of fire, klms of lava fields, raw, hissing in parts, covered in green moss in others, a national treasure … we hike a volcano and test hearts, lungs, backs, knees and toes, and brace .. and learn what it means to be blown off mountain tops … fabulous soaks in hot springs … we travel north for waterfalls and luck in with meeting minke and humpback whales as we cruise on a fjord which meets the sea .. a day of ice as we travel across the island to the south east … an abundance of Icelands 5000 waterfalls … spectacular autumn color on the rocky outposts close to the sea … next climb is a glacier hike … we don crampons, helmets and ice picks (a first!) and traverse a tiny fragment of the 9pc total that still defines this spectacular island … take time at Mitford for a 4 wheel adventure across volcanic territory and hike up a canyon at the foot of an impossibly named volcano which blew up 2010 (along with European plane travel!). And a terrific highlight as we watch an arctic fox meander across the tundra. Well done to Charlie and team and a big thank you to Mae our local concierge.
