“The far north on a smaller budget and a shorter itinerary”
Shorter northern trips from a single base, for people who want the Arctic without the expedition price.
Iceland done well. The itinerary had room to breathe. Hostel nights are basic but clean, and that's what the price says. The team read the group well and adjusted without making a thing of it. Good value for what's included.
Thank you for travelling with us — glad the route worked out.

Good mix of the obvious things and a few places we'd never have found. Plenty to eat and they were happy to work around a gluten allergy.

Iceland done well. The itinerary had room to breathe. Nothing fancy about the beds, and nothing wrong with them either. Whoever planned the days knew what they were doing. Recommended.
