Style Style Small Group Tour Small groups are usually defined as between 10 and 24 travelers, often less. If you're the kind of person who enjoys more intimate experiences and personal service this is a good choice. All else being equal you will pay a premium for this style vs a larger group tour.
Private Guided Private tours give you the undivided attention of a guide, and often involve special access to sites and unique experiences not available to larger groups. This is a great option for families, couples, and small friend groups. Expect to pay a bit more for the extra service.
Self Guided Tour A travel company plans your itinerary and arranges all the logistics including lodging, local activities, and transportantion. You have the flexibility of a solo trip while still getting the convience and time savings of expert planning. Get 90% of the benefits of a tour, without a guide.
Group Tour Groups are between 25-60 people, typically ~30-40. Usually there will be many opportunities to split off and enjoy meals and excursions in smaller groups. This is the most economical way to travel, saving up to 40% versus booking the same itinerary yourself.
River Cruise These vessels are smaller than most ocean cruisers, limiting which amenties are available. Passenger counts can vary. One of the biggest advantages of a river cruise is the ability to dock at smaller ports and local villages.
Small Ship Cruise Small ship cruises usually have a max passenger count of 500. The primary purpose of these trips is to spend time off the vessel in local ports (e.g. Mediterranean) or experiencing nature (e.g Galapagos or Antarctica). Cabins can vary from budget to luxury.
Large Ship Cruise This is the "floating city" experience, with multiple ways to enjoy your vacation aboard the ship as much as on land. Ships are multiple floors, provide several activities, culinary, and shopping options. They often make fewer stops and have less time available for shore excursions.
Retreats Similar to a self guided tour but staying in one location only with activities and day outings included as a part of the stay.

An active walking trip through a diverse kaleidoscope of landscapes, from
volcanic craters, green verdant hills to snow fields. An excellent way to
experience nature and Iceland without the crowds.
Hiking in Kerlingafjoll in snowy conditions. A combination of hot steamy
geothermal activity, stark hills covered in snow. Bleak, and beautiful.
Wading through snowfields, and clambering up slippery snow covered hills. It
was a real adventure.


Gunnar was great. Stoic, quietly passionate, a good chef who fed us well,
and kept us safe. He showed us the beauty of Iceland sprinkled with
traditional folklore. His depth of knowledge of the flora and fauna was
impressive.


Be prepared for all seasons from sun, snow, rain, wind. Waterproofs
compulsory and walking poles are useful. The walking is technically not
difficult but you do have to be reasonably fit. We walked on average 6-8
hours per walking day. Adverse weather conditions may make it more difficult
walking through muddy, slippery conditions.


Definitely go sooner than later. Camping is becoming increasingly popular. We
went at the beginning of the season and missed the crowds.

This was a marvellous trip and a great way of seeing two wonderful areas of
the Arctic. In Spitsbergen we saw polar bears and arctic foxes and sailed
through the ice to reach 80 degrees north. In Greenland we saw musk oxen and
puffins and the most amazing icebergs. We also visited an Inuit community
and had the occasional whale sighting.

The ship was great - the Ocean Adventurer. The cabin was comfortable and the
food was really good. The operator was first class. We had a great tour
leader and a full range of specialist guides, i.e. geologist, ornithologist,
photographer, marine biologist etc. They were professional and great fun.
the other guests were good company.

We had four days around Spitzbergen and four days around Greenland so we were
able to get a sense of both rather than concentrating on just one. So polar
bears AND icebergs!

You don't actually get to see Iceland as part of the tour but you do
disembark in Akureyri in north Iceland. We asked Exodus to change our flight
back to the UK so we could arrange seven days there. We then drove from
Akureyri to Keflavic along the Icelandic ring road seeing the major sights.
The waterfalls are truly amazing. Greenland is actually icy and Iceland is
green. So we had polar bears, icebergs and waterfalls in a three-week trip.

Note: to get to Spitzbergen you fly via Oslo. Exodus brought forward our
flight and booked us into a hotel for two nights so we had a short city break
as well. There are some great museums in Oslo (Munch, Viking Long Ship and
the Fram Museum of Arctic Exploration) and this was a great start to our
Arctic journey of a lifetime.
To see a polar bear jumping and swimming from ice-flow to ice-flow.


The expedition and ship staff were all first class. The operator was very
professional and we be very happy to travel again with them.


See above - the trip covers Spitzbergen and Greenland - you need to make
additional arrangements to see Iceland otherwise you just fly from Akureyri
to Keflavic for the flight home..


We'd already been to Antarctica. We found the artic different. No penguins
of course but we had polar bears, arctic foxes, musk oxen and puffins - and
visiting the Inuit village.

The scenery was fantastic we had a mixed bunch of nationalities and ages, 3
in their 60's and everyone managed the walks. Weather! it was summer in
Iceland for UKs this means Autumn / winter temperatures so 3 season sleeping
bag and thermals on two nights, merino layers great during the day warmest
150 / 190 coldest 150+190+320 (others wore their tech tops and fleeces) one
walk the weather came in and warm jackets came out, covered in light ice
shower. Photos - fantastic picture postcards of glaciers, mountains,
waterfalls. This is camping to be willing to wash up, need to put tents up
and down in the rain - tents generally remained wet throughout but luckily
rain was in the night or days when we were travelling. Food - plenty of food
its surprising what can be cooked in two large pots on the camp burners.
prepare to queue for showers - but iceland facilities were clean and plenty
of HOT water. Scenery varied - lava fields, pretty towns, farmland, snow and
puffins, bubbling sulphur landscape…..take advantage of the nature baths.
Don't forget a warm jacket to sit around in the evenings…I did :-(…..
despite the summer you will be walking across snow and streams make sure your
boots are waterproofed…….sliding down the snow may be quicker than
walking….! Our guide was a star.
The scenery particularly the water falls. Standing on top of the glaciers


Orri was super, we trusted him completely he knew the walks well and guided
through some difficult weather conditions. Excellent cook and guitar
player….he managed all the background arrangements without us noticing and
was very informative about Iceland the places we passed and the treks.


3 season sleeping bag a must, Icelands summer is similar to UKs autumn /
winter temperatures pack clothing for layers lightweight tech tops to fleece.


we recharged phones in the bus, you have to pay at the campsites to recharge
- usually overnight, remember technology can't be plugged into a tent
!….cameras, phones, iPads……bring batteries or leave at home !
