    • ContikiOperator•Written December 2022

      Trip starts at 4:00 PM on 08-Feb-2023 in Reykjavik. You will be meeting the group at the start hotel. We do not offer transfer, but we do however recommend the Flybus which is super easy to pre book online, with costs starting at 20,09 GBP one way with regular pick-up times.

      Diana

      Traveler•Written December 2022

      Is there any chance also that you can share the current age range with me for the group on the trip ive enquired about? It says it is mostly booked and want to make sure they are a similar age to me :)

    • ContikiOperator•Written December 2022

      The most average age of our traveller is 27. As our groups are aged 18-35 and the size of our Fire and Ice trip is 40 travellers, there may be a range of peoples ages. However, as everyone on our trips has the passion for travel, it is easy to get along with most, no matter the age.

      Our travelers will come from different countries as we have booking regions all over the world.

    Margaret

    Asked on January 18th, 2022

    I was wondering if this trip is actually scheduled to run for sure? I'm asking this before I sign up because another tour I was signed up for just contacted me to let me know there wasn't enough enrollment and I wouldn't like to go through the disappointment of having another tour cancelled right before it's supposed to happen. Please let me know if the tour is indeed running.

    Tour Details
    • ContikiOperator•Written January 2022

      We have every intention to continue running this trip and last couple dates have gone ahead as planned. The date can be suspended due to numbers and travel restrictions, that's not something anyone can control. If that does happen we'll let you know in advance and provide alternatives. Fortunately, that hasn't happed for any dates on this trip.
