  We were lucky enough on this trip to experience almost everything an Icelandic winter can offer. The journey began with calm weather and sunshine, and we really could not have asked for a better start — especially being surrounded by such a great group of people. Days two and three were much more wintry, with strong winds and blowing snow, so visibility up in the mountains was limited. On the fourth day, the weather began to improve, and everyone came back from the mountain with big smiles. On the fifth day, we were in Hrafnsfjörður, and the weather could not have been better. We reached a mountain summit, enjoyed the incredible views and the beautiful conditions, and then skied back down. The mix of fantastic snow and some challenging slopes made the whole experience truly unforgettable. The crew — Gunni, Össur, and our guide Smári — were absolutely excellent in every way. They did everything they could to make the trip as memorable as possible. A wonderful adventure, great people, stunning surroundings, and a trip I will remember for a long time. Highly recommended.

  Great place. The hotel is very nice, the service perfect and the landscape and the view wonderful. The hard snow (and limited) was somewhat disappointing. The instructor should have divided the group into experienced and non- experienced skiers.

  We had an incredible experience in the Westfjords of Iceland aboard the Orkin. Gunnar, Ossur and Arnar were incredible hosts. From the moment we boarded the plane in Reykjavik everything was taken care of. This is a must do trip for any ski touring enthousiast. We will be back!

  What a wonderful experience. My family caught at least 50 cod in the waters. If you are worried about sea sickness or the cold of the artic waters, don't let that stop you. They stay in the fjord so the waters were calm. Great educational experience as well as we learned a lot about geology and wildlife. We had a private tour, so we had cod cooked right on the boat (and a little to take with us for an airbnb cookout). Highly recommended. My kids had a ball!
