Testimonials

From Lawrence

dear Arctic Adventures Management,
i wanted to drop a quick note to you about some of my recent experiences with your trips and staff. keep in mind, i generally don't say nice things about people.

we went on the thorsmork hike with Valdi last week. the guy is AWESOME in so many ways and i hope you recognize him for all that he is worth. briefly, he was knowledgeable, intelligent, inspiring, comforting, understanding, kind, a hiking and safety specialist and just a great person to be around. i really appreciated him and hope he knows that.

we also went hiking in skaftafell. Lena was such a fun, supportive guide. she was simply fantastic. and there was a girl who recently returned from Shanghai. I'm sorry i dont remember her name. why can't people in america all be nice like these staff members?!!

we also went rafting on the Astari last week. there was a swedish river guide who i dont remember his name. but he was just great as
well. kind, supportive, nice to talk to, very good and directing.

as i was booking the trip, Sigga was my main contact. she is phenomenal, detail oriented, made me feel welcomed. basically, i wouldn't have book everything though your company if it wasn't for her.

Sara at backpackers. im not sure if she or Sigga put my road book together but the level of detail made our trip so rich and wonderful.

and finally, everyone who helped me in the reyk office. im sorry i dont know their names (i do remember Dagný and , but they helped me with first rate service.

thank you, THANK YOU, to you all for everything. I'm back home now,
but miss Iceland dearly.
