An overnight at Sænautasel may be the most primitive and rustic point of your time in East Iceland, unless of course you are tent camping as well! Spend a unique night here in the old turf houses and experience life as it used to be in East Iceland. There is no electricity, the water is outside, and the toilets are 100m away. No wifi and little telephone contact means this may very well be one of the most isolated experiences in your lifetime. The hut offers three comfortable beds that can sleep four people in a cozy atmosphere. Make it a night you will not easily forget! Opt to fish nearby for your meal tonight, and you can heat your food with gas and firewood using the fully equipped 'kitchen' inside the hut. The home is made of turf and wood, and access is gained through a common area that is a shed/barn. The owner's kittens and dog are on site and sheep are also easy to spot. The owner's restaurant is also located just across the way if you prefer to eat out.
Our guide and driver were very good with their knowledge and were very helpful with our questions. It was a very pleasant visit that would have been impossible to do on our own. Hotels and restaurants were fantastic. The special places we got to go to, like the kitchens, were great. Enjoyed the entire trip!

Adventure Life has been an extraordinary travel resource for us over the years and today was no exception. Our River Cruise booking was handled by Jess (who has been our personal trip planner for several years) the same day as our inquiry. Suggestions were given for cabin choice and pre-trip options (that were not shown on the cruise line's website) like airport transfers and prepaid gratuities. Trip insurance recommendations followed and we were assigned a travel co-ordinator till the end of the tour. All we have to do is show up! Great service from friendly folks.

Our travel was flawless! The rider pickup (airport, hotel, ship) was seamless. Jane's recommendation for Emerald Cruise Sakara was everything I wanted but the experience was soooo much more. Adventure Life took care of each and every detail and this was the easiest of all my travels.
