The tour is one of the most scenic I have ever been. I was wondering if I should get a rental car and explore myself, but at the end, I'm happy to have preferred the Arctic Nature Tour!

It was good. Some simple improvements would make it better.. Very confusing that there are no clear signage on the transport vehicles, multiple operators leave all at the same time. It just creates a very odd and amateur to feel. The food served was poor, and wasn’t sandwiches as described in the tour information.
