OUR PRINCIPLES

Our mission is to provide outstanding travel experiences for our cruisers and we are committed to being the best in what we do.
  • Service Quality

    We follow high standards of personal service and customer satisfaction. Our group tours make sure that travellers travel in a small group for a personal experience and opportunity to interact with our friendly guides. Our private tours offer a variety of options, which are completely customisable for your interests and preferences.

  • Responsiveness

    Your time is valuable and we understand that you are excited to finish planning your holiday so we make sure that someone from our office is always available to answer emails and calls. We strive to be flexible so if there is something you are looking for and can’t find it on our website, send us an email and we try our best to make it happen!
    And when you’re travelling, we have an emergency number that you can contact for anything that comes up.

  • Local environment and economy

    Even the most responsible travel leaves an impact. So we strive for a net positive impact on the local environment and economy whilst ensuring the best possible experience for our travellers. We exclusively work with qualified local guides and partners in each port and respect for the eco-system is of utmost importance on our tours.

  • Trust

    Our company is licensed and fully backed by the safety and financial regulations of the Icelandic Tourist Board. In the unlikely event of insolvency, insurance protection covers your payments. So you can book with complete confidence knowing that you and your money are in safe hands.

OUR STORY

Our story - arctic shore excursions

Every summer has a story. Ours began many summers ago at our home office in the beautiful port of Isafjordur in Iceland.

It’s hard to plan the perfect trip for people until you get to know them better. Whilst planning shore excursions from Isafjordur, we soon discovered the difficulties faced by cruisers – the absence of budget friendly small group tours, the difficulty in finding tours at smaller ports and the scarcity of reliable tour operators, quality tours and good service.

We took up the challenge to make sure cruisers have a wider choice of great tours across all ports. Since then, we have gradually expanded operations to other parts of Iceland and the Nordic region but the commitment to quality and service has not changed.
