Green Edventures: Eco Tours & Expeditions Reviews

Returned home recently from my second trip to Iceland with Green Edventures, first was Wellness and Mindfulness and second was Ring Road Tour. Everything about both trips was awesome, from Carrie(administrative)making sure we had all travel docs in order, Tara(tour leader)giving us information on tour sights and detailed packing instructions, and her ability to bring a group of strangers together and Inga(local guide) is so knowledgeable of Iceland and its history. It’s obvious when you are on a tour with Green Edventures(Tara and Inga) how much they love what they are doing and want to share there knowledge and love of Iceland with you. You’ll start a tour with Tara and a group of people, you end the tour with a group of friends, knowledge and experiences from a different part of the world. Can not recommend Green Edventures enough!!! Can’t wait till next trip.

Finished my second tour with Green Edventures. The first was the Iceland Hot Springs and Mindfulness Retreat. The most recent was the Iceland Ring Road. Tara does an exceptional job of preparing you for a trip. Communication, opportunity to ask questions, timelines for anything needed pre trip, detailed packing lists, etc. that makes it so easy to be prepared for the fun ahead. The fun starts the minute you get there. Tara engages the group throughout the trip in a way that brings the group together. By the end of the trip you have new friends you didn’t know at the start, and a feeling of family…you matter. And you just might have seen things you never expected to see. Green Edventures is flexible, if an opportunity presents to see or experience something unexpected, they will seize the opportunity. Inga (local guide) is such a fun storyteller. She does an amazing job of sharing the history and culture of Iceland. From the cities to the rural and everything in between, you see Iceland in a way you’d never see without a guide like Inga. I highly recommend Green Edventures.

I took the Ring Road Tour with a bunch of friends I. early October. Iceland is sparse and beautiful all at the same time. This tour allowed us to explore the entire ring and golden circle. Very cool geology! We even fit in a couple spa experiences and a plunge in the Arctic Ocean! The accommodations were very nice. The guides were fantastic!! Highly recommended.

The Westfjords knitting tour was a wonderful combination of creativity and natural beauty. In addition to learning the techniques needed to knit a Lopapeysa, we were able to ramble and explore a part of Iceland most tourists don't get to see. Our guides were knowledgeable, welcoming, and funny. I came home from this trip relaxed and inspired.

Iceland Knitting tour captured the magic of blending touring Iceland Westfjords land, people, sheep and marine life with taking our knitting skills in an Icelandic directions through workshops, factory tour of IS-TECH and our sample lopipeysa sweaters creations. Our local tour guides and sweater designer provided information from first hand knowledge and their hearts. Our small women group bonded with laughter and stories while knitting, walking up to waterfalls, along beaches, viewing musuems, swimming in thermal springs, and visiting sheep farms. Food was wonderful and at times entertaining throughout the tour. I traveled alone to the Icelandic knitting tour and left with connections to the group and Iceland. What Green Edventure tour should I do next?

My September 2026 knitting trip with Green Edeventures exceeded expectations on every front! Local guides and knitting designer Ingrid and Bergros were beyond generous in sharing their incredible knowledge about Iceland and knitting. And our Green Edventures tour guide Lori seamlessly guided us through every step of our itinerary with humor and grace. We got to see and do so many things that tourists don’t generally get to do, from visiting local artisans and yarn dyers in their homes to eating a homemade lunch of lamb soup at a local farm, to participating in the annual sheep roundup. We saw Northern Lights; we toured wool mills and goat farms; we soaked up Nordic culture and mythology; we relaxed in geothermal springs, and so much more! The highlights of the trip included the hours we spent with Icelandic knitting designer Bergros working on our shawls of myth and magic, the day we spent at Inga’s farm, and getting to know the incredible women who guided us, to hear their stories, and see Iceland through their eyes. This was a life changing experience; I give this trip my highest recommendation!

Do you love to knit? Does knitting an Icelandic shawl intrigue you? Are you a yarn store junky? Would you like a chance to see the Northern Lights? Do you love all things fiber: a sheep round-up, a goat farm (think cashmere), a spinning mill? And, just for fun, a dip in hot springs, exceptional dinners, and lunch in an Icelander's home? Green Edventures offers you all this and even more with their Iceland Knitting Tour featuring three outstanding guides!

Worth every minute and every penny! I never had a worry or anxiety: we were so well taken care of! I can't say enough good things about the tour leader (Lori Anderson) or our Icelandic guides (Inge, and Bergros).

Green Edventures was an incredible experience for our women’s trip. Even though it was just one other woman with me, the tour quickly created a real sense of community—by the end, it felt like we were traveling together as a group. A big highlight was the knowledgeable guide, who shared thoughtful information and made every day feel engaging. I also truly appreciated the conscientious eco practices, which felt genuine, well planned, and easy to learn from. Everything was organized well, and the logistics ran smoothly throughout. I couldn’t recommend this company more and would absolutely go again.

After hiking the Laugavegur trail with Green Edventures last year, Tara agreed to organize the same hike for women 60+ in 2023. I loved it so much at age 70 that I decided to come back at age 71 and I don't regret one step! If you are in decent shape, good health, enjoy hiking across diverse and unbelievably beautiful terrain, don't ,miss out on this trek in 2024. Your body, mind and spirit will thank you over an over again!

I recently returned from the Iceland Eclipse Multisport Trip with Green Edventures 🇮🇸, and I can honestly say this was the most fantastic travel experience of my life! This was my first-ever solo travel experience, and I began the adventure as a solo traveler and ended it with 14 new adventure buddies and what I truly believe will be lifelong friendships. ❤️ Tara, our group organizer and leader, was absolutely fantastic. She made a genuine effort to get to know each of us individually, which made the entire experience feel so personal and welcoming. Every activity was incredibly well organized, varied, and thoughtfully planned. Traveling around Iceland was completely seamless. Tara and Inga’s knowledge of Iceland was a huge part of what made this trip so exceptional. I felt like a VIP, getting to experience incredible off-the-beaten-path sights, adventures, and activities that I never would have discovered on my own. One of my biggest takeaways is this: if you’re considering traveling with Green Edventures but are hesitant to go solo, DO IT! You’ll never really feel alone. Your adventure buddies become your travel family, and no one gets left behind. I’m already looking forward to traveling with Green Edventures again. Thank you, Tara, Inga, and my amazing adventure buddies for an unforgettable experience! 🇮🇸✨ 10/10 would do it all over again!

I had an amazing trip with Green Ed venture to Iceland. If you have the opportunity to tour with Tara and Inga take it. They are a great duo, leaning on their friendship to handle the inevitable hurdles that come with every tour. Tara is incredibly thoughtful. She got up at 3 am on our last night to show me the aurora borealis. It was faint, but I could see it undulate with my naked eye. Inga provided the knowledge and stories only a native Icelander could share - from hot spring etiquette to the best local cookies. Iceland is a breathtakingly beautiful country. Two of my favorite trips were things I would never have booked. I loved hiking on a glacier and kayaking in the North Atlantic. Tara took advantage of impromptu opportunities. After dinner one night we spontaneously hiked to a waterfall we could see from the restaurant. The food and hotels were all very nice - a great improvement over the chain hotels I’m used to. Every day was filled with a variety of activities. We hit all the well known highlights but had time in some less touristy spots as well. I would have been disappointed if I hadn’t seen icebergs on diamond beach, but I didn’t need more than half an hour. I relished walking in a lava field by myself one morning. Visit Iceland with Tara and Inga. You will love every minute.

"An unforgettable, unique experience! I just finished the Multi-Sport Eco Tour in Iceland, and it blew my expectations out of the water. It was my first time doing a tour like this, and it was beautifully organized with a perfect mix of high-energy adventure and leisure. Our tour guides were fantastic—fun, approachable, and incredibly hardworking when it came to adjusting our itinerary for the Iceland weather. They didn't just manage the tour; they were right there in the thick of the action with us, cheering us on. It was just the right mix of stories, education and action. The group dynamic was magical! We all came together, supported each other through every challenge, while forming an instant bond. We started the week as strangers and left as a family. Exceptional trip!"

Tara and Inga were awesome guides on a recent Laugavegur hike completed in Iceland. Inga's passion for her country was evident in the stories and knowledge she shared along the way. I felt very safe having her guide us along the trail and learned a lot about Iceland and the landscapes we hiked thru. Tara was one of the most organized guides I have hiked with. Always on top of accommodations and food, weather and vehicle travel, there was never any doubt that we were well taken care of. I wanted to specifically mention that as a celiac hiker, there were plenty of great tasting options available at each meal and the guides were aware of how important it was to not cross contaminate. That was very much appreciated. The hike itself was difficult but not extreme. Beautiful, changing landscape with some elevation gain and loss on most days. The Spa Lagoon at the end of the hike was the icing on the cake! No hesitation in recommending Green Edventure tours to take you thru the 55km of the Laugavegur Trail and a most memorable hiking adventure. Five stars !

Fantastic! What makes this the business to choose is the sense of community Tara builds. A lot of tour companies can take you some place. If you go with Green Edventures, your trip will be mindfully planned, fully supported all along the way, and you will have made new friends. I learned, I laughed, I can’t recommend Green Edventures enough. I wouldn’t pick anyone else.

The Laugavegur Trek has been on my must do hikes for years. Now completed, I cannot imagine a better way to experience this breathtaking trail than with Green Edventures. Our guides Tara and Inga assured every important detail was taken care of in a quiet professional manner, each hiker was treated with respect, we received wonderful stories and information about this amazing island country which made this a beautiful journey of a lifetime. Iceland is forever etched in my memory and heart. Much thanks.

I had an unforgettable experience on the Laugavegur trail! Our trip leader, Tara, and our local guide, Inga, were well-organised, supportive, and brought infectious, positive energy to every day. Our group of ladies quickly became a close-knit family, swapping stories of past adventures and travel tips throughout the hike. The landscape was otherworldly with a new, stunning view around every corner, including steaming volcanic vents, rolling rhyolite mountains in shades of red and gold, black lava fields, and glaciers. The huts and food along the way exceeded expectations, and the pace of each day felt comfortable and flexible, with plenty of room to soak in the views rather than rush through them. I can’t wait to do another trip with Green Edventures!

My daughter and I enjoyed a wonderful women’s group adventure through Iceland with Green Edventures: Eco Tours & Expeditions led by Tara and Inga. There was beauty and depth on this multi-sport tour. Not only were we immersed in the beautiful Icelandic landscapes, we learned about the rich history and culture of the people. The tour was very well organized while leaving some room for spontaneity. Both Tara and Inga were excellent guides but more importantly great people to be around. It was an experience I would highly recommend.
