Why book a private tour with us?
Glacier and Volcano Expeditions is an owner operator family business. This means that when you book a tour with us, you will be guided by the very same people that own the company and who are personally invested in ensuring that you have a safe, comfortable and enjoyable experience. The quality of your tour is very important to us and we are able to deliver you an outstanding level of service by having direct control of the tours and services that we offer. As company owners and guides, we set very high standards for ourselves as we believe that we achieve fulfillment and success when we provide incredible experiences to our guests.
The highest possible standard of experience
In order to explain how we maintain consistency in providing the highest possible standard of experience on all of our tours, the following is a list of core fundamental values and attributes that Glacier and Volcano Expeditions hold as benchmark standards and highest priorities in all aspects of our operations.
Safety
The safety of our guests and ourselves is our highest priority at all times. We take a proactive approach to incident prevention, ensuring it remains at the forefront of our operations. As a guest on our tours, you will be accompanied by qualified guides who have been leading expeditions since 2014. All our guides are active members of the Icelandic search and rescue team and participate in ongoing training programs to maintain their skills and readiness.
Comfort
We prioritize the physical and mental well-being of our guests, ensuring that comfort is never compromised. We begin our wilderness tours only when both guides and participants are fully prepared for the conditions ahead. Throughout the journey in Iceland's often challenging landscapes, our guides diligently monitor all guests to maintain optimal comfort levels. This commitment significantly reduces the risk of incidents, allowing us to provide an exceptional standard of guiding service.
Having fun!
Smiles, laughter, and unforgettable experiences are essential components of holiday adventures, which is why we strive to keep everyone happy during their visit to Vatnajökull National Park! In addition to upholding our core values, we believe it’s important for both our team and our guests to enjoy the journey. As a small company with a straightforward structure, we possess the knowledge, experience, and flexibility to meet a wide range of expectations while absorbing the beauty of the Icelandic wilderness.
