Arctic Hiking and Expeditions offers guided hiking trips in Greenland and Iceland. While the company may be new, the owners and guides have been in the business of hiking these polar regions for a long time. Born in Iceland, co-founders Einar Torfi Finnsson and Kristinn Gardarsson have been exploring this region for decades. Einar’s resume as a professional guide and tour director is impressive, going back to the 1980s, and Kristinn’s background in geography and cartography make this one powerful duo!
Review of Arctic Hiking & Expeditions
If reading Arctic Hiking’s About Us page isn’t enough to convince you to book a hiking trip with this company, then maybe their expertly curated tours will convince you. At time of this review, they offer 6 multi-day tours in Greenland (including nordic skiing) with Iceland tours to be added soon. Trip details include gorgeous photos and video plus brief but informative daily itineraries. Accommodation details are minimal, would be nice to see example photos or descriptions, but we do love that they incorporate local guesthouses and homes.
The company website is new so you’ll find few online reviews, but expect that to change once Arctic Hiking & Expeditions has time to promote and embed reviews into their site.
