The Beginning

1999

Thundering Around the Frozen Arctic Tundra

At the heart of Arctic Tavel Experiences is Stefan, the key player in the founding of the company. Raised amidst the thundering roar of snowmobiles in the harsh winter wonderland of the highlands north of his native town, Selfoss, Stefan discovered the thrill that would fuel his life's ambition. His upbringing instilled in him a deep love for the Icelandic wilderness and a passion for sharing its wonders with the world.

Discover the Explorer Within

Thor, one of the founders, is quoted to say, "It was behind the wheel of a typical icelandic super jeep, navigating adventures through the rugged landscapes of Iceland, where I found my sense of belonging. In early adulthood, I found myself feeling disconnected, searching for purpose amidst the monotony of everyday life. But then, during a solitary journey through the wilderness, something shifted within me. This is my background, this is the environment I was raised in, the things that filled me with meaning growing up. As I traversed icy rivers and snow-covered plains, I discovered a profound sense of freedom and exhilaration that reminded me of something I had experienced before, during my upbringing, I found my center. Each moment spent exploring the untamed beauty of the icelandic wilderness ignited a passion within me—a passion to share this transformative experience with others. That's when I realized my "why".

Finding Inner Harmony and Solace

But beyond the thrill of exploration lies a deeper truth, Elias, another one of the founders says—that amidst the vastness of the Arctic wilderness, one can find peace, solitude, and a profound connection to both nature and oneself. It is in these moments of quiet contemplation, surrounded by the breathtaking beauty of the Icelandic landscape, that we find our truest selves.

4 hours of artic truck through the mountains and river. We went to a black sand beach and we had the opportunity to driv Really nice and fun experience, the driver Elly was really friendly and everything was well organized. The view and the nature is amazing. We had the opportunity to drive the Jeep in the river and in the black sand beach and we felt lots of adrenaline.

Epic day of self driving. Spectacular day spent driving around Thorsmork and the black sand beach. Our guide Skooli, picked the three of us up at our hotel near Hella and drove us to grab snacks for the day, and then to the gravel road toward Thorsmork. I had paid for some self-drive time but was delighted when Skooli handed over the keys to the heavily modified Land Cruiser and pointed in the direction of the valley. Narrow gravel and several river crossings led to our first stop at a glacier tongue. Multiple more river crossings expertly guided by Skooli and we ate lunch, hiked a few epic canyons and waterfalls before turning around and heading to the beach. The trip would have been to the glacier originally, but weather was foggy and warm so glacier driving was not in the cards. The beach was an endless black sand desert that we cruised across. Some dunes and technically challenging terrain navigation was required to find our way back to tarmac. All in all the best day. We plan on returning to Iceland and will definitely book another day with Arctic Trucks.

The best driving experience I've ever done! This is still one of the best experiences we've ever had! Iceland itself is a beautiful and unique place, add to that the experience with Arctic Trucks made it unforgettable. Ingo, our tour guide, was one of the nicest people you'll ever meet, and his knowledge of Iceland and each area we went to was spot on, and he answered every question we had about Iceland, the culture, the area, the Truck, everything! The Arctic Trucks converted Toyota Land Cruiser was awesome and tackled everything we through at it. While I was driving I managed to get us stuck when we bottomed out and a rescue mission was orchestrated by Ingo to get as going again, which just made for a better story when we got home! We will be back...

An experience to remember This is my fourth trip with arctic trucks and they keep on surprising us with their professionalism and friendly attitude. We experienced sites that not accessible to the average tourists. If you want to see the real Iceland than arctic trucks experience should be your choice.

A fantastic way to explore Iceland January 2019 We highly recommend booking for tours. What could be better than exploring this awesome country in a powerful modified 4x4 with their brilliant guides. Arctic Trucks Experience provide a helpful, knowledgeable, professional, passionate and fun service and go above and beyond to make your time in Iceland unforgettable. Unfortunately we didn't get to see the Northern Lights during our tours and the Snowmobile trip was a white out due to very poor weather conditions so we didn't actually see the glacier or scenery but that's part of the adventure, mother nature is in full control in Iceland. A massive thanks to Margret, Ásgeir and Roman for making our visit so memorable.
