Question 1

What if I don't own all of these clothing items?

Accepted Answer

Don't worry, you can always rent sturdy hiking shoes, waterproof jacket and pants with us. Please note, we do not rent gear from locations, it must be booked in advance.

Question 2

What will the average driving per day be?

Accepted Answer

We drive on average around 300 km (186 miles) per day on our multi-day tours. You will be spending approximately 4-5 hours in the car each day. We do of course stop on multiple locations throughout the tour for sightseeing, activities, bathroom breaks and lunch stops.

Question 3

What is my luggage allowance on a multi-day tour?

Accepted Answer

For multi-day tours, each participant is allowed to bring a small backpack and 1 piece of luggage weighing a maximum of 20 kg (44 lbs). If you have more or heavier luggage with you, you will need to book storage for the surplus luggage before you arrive, there is a small fee for using this facility. Luggage storage in Reykjavík can be added during the booking process of your order in the extras section.

* The combined dimensions of each bag must not exceed 158 cm (62 in).

Question 4

Which authorised pick-up stops and listed hotels are available in the Reykjavík area?

Accepted Answer

You may always check with us if your hotel is on the authorised list, or request the full updated list from us anytime.

Question 5

Group Size & Guide Arrangement Disclaimer

Accepted Answer

For tours operating with a guide-to-guest ratio of 1:18, each guide is able to accommodate a maximum of 18 guests per group.
If a booking consists of 19 guests, the group will be split into two sub-groups and depart on closely scheduled departures. We will arrange the departures as close in time as possible, and any waiting time for the second group is typically minimal.
Should a group of 19 guests prefer to travel together, this can be arranged by assigning two guides to the same group. In such cases, the tour will be treated as a private arrangement, and private tour rates will apply. Please contact us for a customised quotation.

Question 6

Child fare

Accepted Answer

Child fare only applicable to children under 15 years old.
This tour is not suitable for children under 8 years old.

Question 7

If we arrive in Iceland on the same date as we booked our tour, could we miss out on it?

Accepted Answer

We always recommend booking a multi-day tour starting at least one day after arriving in Iceland. If you’re flying in from the US or will be landing early (4-6:30 am) you should be able to join the tour, but some risks would follow (i.e if the flight gets delayed) and could, therefore, miss out on the tour.

Question 8

Is it guaranteed that we will see the Northern Lights during the tour?

Accepted Answer

Most of the hotels we use during our tours are remotely located and therefore ideal for spotting the northern lights. If the forecast is in your favor, then it is more than likely that you will be able to see the magical show put on by the dancing northern lights during your tour with us. Most of the hotels offer a Northern Lights wake-up call-up on request if the lights are spotted.

The Northern Lights are a natural phenomenon; therefore, we can unfortunately never promise they will be seen. Their appearance depends upon atmospheric and weather conditions. The best time to see them is between September and March when it’s dark and clear. The sky needs to be as dark as possible, so the best places to see them are well away from city lights (that’s where we are going!).

Question 9

Does this tour suit me?

Accepted Answer

We do welcome participants of all ages older than the listed minimum age for each tour. We have people of ages ranging from 8-99 years joining our multi-day tours.  Our average group usually consists of participants between the age 20-55 years. We do get a lot of solo travellers joining our tours, as well as families and friends.

If you have difficulties participating in any of the activities included in the tour, for example, a glacier activity, you are more than welcome to skip it. You can explore your surroundings in the meantime or wait elsewhere. Our guide should be able to drop you off at a nearby place where there are some services available.

Question 10

Which type of meal options are available for me on the tour?

Accepted Answer

Breakfast is included at all the hotels we stay in during the tour. The breakfast will be a typical breakfast buffet, offering bread, toppings, cereal, yogurt, fruits, coffee, and tea etc.

Your guide will also find a good place for the group to eat lunch. We always try to choose places that have a wide selection of dishes on the menu, so there will be options available for everyone. The dinner is usually at the hotels we stay at for the night.

Question 11

Are meals included in the tour?

Accepted Answer

If your tour includes accommodation, breakfast is always included during the tour at the hotel/guesthouse restaurant.

Meals and beverages are otherwise not included on your tour. (Unless it’s specifically stated in the description of the tour)

On our multiday tours, we will be making stops at restaurants and convenience stores where you will be able to purchase all necessities. Cash is not necessary, as credit cards are almost always accepted. Having a small amount of cash doesn’t hurt though.

Question 12

I'm a solo traveller, is there a single supplement?

Accepted Answer

A single supplement is available if you want to have your own room, but you are not required to pay a single supplement. If you are a single traveler and do not wish to book a single room, you’ll be roomed with another traveler of the same gender.

Question 13

What kind of rooms can be expected when booking the multi-day tour?

Accepted Answer

You are guaranteed an accommodation at a nice country hotel and/or a guesthouse. The hotels we have partnered up with are all of the same standard and offer nice rooms with made-up beds and private bathrooms. The standard room is a twin room but it’s possible to request a double room or a triple room, with no extra charge.

If you are traveling solo, you will have to add the single room fee if you wish to have a single room.

All hotels have free Wi-Fi. Towels, a hairdryer and a kettle are accessible at all of the hotels. Hotel breakfast is included!

Question 14

Do I need crampons for this tour?

Accepted Answer

If you're visiting during winter, typically from mid-October to mid-April, we highly recommend using lightweight crampons (also called ice spikes) for added safety on icy paths while sightseeing.
