Where do we meet for the tour bus and what documentation do we need to show?

Pick-up location is Hotel Klettur. Pick-up starts at 8:00 AM. Look for white or silver minibus with Arctic Adventures logo. Guide will call out your name. Show your travel agent's voucher during pick-up.

Just one quick question, they will pick us up for the tour from our hotel?

do you know which accommodation will be used in Reykjavík on the final night of the tour (night 7)? Since the tour finishes late the next day, we're considering staying at the same hotel for convenience. If we decide not to, will drop-off be limited to the locations listed in your pick-up options or is it possible to arrange drop-off at a different hotel?

how much does it cost for additional luggage and what is the size?

You cannot bring any additional check-in sized luggage with you on the tour. If you want to store additional pieces of luggage in Reykjavik for the duration of the tour, the price of such service is 38.26 USD. With that service you can leave one piece of luggage.

does this tour have any luggage restrictions per the size of your luggage, ours are 33 inches. Also, do you have any options to do the ice cave tour?

Each participant is allowed to bring one piece of luggage with a maximum weight of 20 kg, in addition to a day backpack. Luggage larger than 33 inches may not fit comfortably in vehicles. The combined dimensions of each bag must not exceed 158 cm (62 in). For excess luggage, we offer storage at our Reykjavík location for 4,500 ISK. The tour does not include ice cave directly, but has plenty of glacier explorations.

I am looking for a guided tour around Iceland in the time between 15.June and 15 July 2025

We have several options available between June 15th and July 15th, 2025. Could you please let us know the preferred length of the tour? Additionally, if you have any specific interests (e.g., nature, culture, adventure), we can tailor the experience to suit your preferences.

Is there any provision for single rooms on the tour?

Single room accommodations are available but they might incur an additional fee. Details can be provided upon request.

On day 2, at the end of the day do we sleep at a hotel or is it camping

On Day 2 of the tour, you will be staying in a hotel with a private bathroom, not camping. All accommodations throughout the tour are in hotels or guesthouses with private bathrooms, ensuring a comfortable experience.

Guide service level - Our 6day, 7th day and 8th day tour guide deserved 5 stars especially Thor given his long hours of driving around the island. Their driving skills was good, kept us informed of stories on the site and break time. Accommodation - comfortable and clean .. overall okay at Hofn, I was allocated a room where the window is in maintenance mode and the other window is very close to the car park. I was too tired to feedback for the change . at Hótel Laugarbakki, the hotelier was able to solve problem by providing a fan as the room's air circulation was poor At Borgarnes, the room has lacked of air circulation but there is no extra room to swap and no alternative but to live with it. the room was facing a car park. same situation lack of privacy when the window is opened. Luggage handling- on 7th and 8th day tours, our guides had to squeeze our bags in the limited space within the vehicle without breaking their backs. The company could have arranged additional tow capacity.Show more

Amazing tour leader, Svavar! Made it great and was a full part of our group. Also, great group, made great friends. I loved the accomodation and restaurants, the best way to experience the real Iceland. Islandic people are very welcoming and nice. I loved the itinerary and we went off the beaten path several times and avoided the crowds. I will say that the last 2 days are day tours with brand new people everytime as the 8 day tour is an addition to the 6 day ring road tour which wasn’t mentionned before booking, so I was dissapointed that I couldn’t continue my full tour with my new friends…Show more

The first six days were great, largely do to our guide Siggy. He did a terrific job with all aspects of the tour, making sure we had enough time at each venue to truly enjoy it. His knowledge of the island's history added to the experience. Unfortunately the weather caused some difficulties, with our whale watching day cancelled, but that is certainly uncontrollable. Days 7 and 8 were spent almost entirely on the bus and were not nearly as interesting. I wish I would have stayed with the six day. The communication before the trip was not sufficient regarding the schedule, what to bring on the trip and any depth about the sites attended. Had it been clearer, I would have made many different choices.Show more
