What does shared room mean and what is the maximum number of travelers per coach?

A shared room means that the traveller will be paired with another traveller of the same gender within the trip group. For this trip, the group size ranges from a minimum of 1 to a maximum of 12 passengers per coach.

I need to know if you have two places available

For this tour there are 4 spaces available for October 6th, 2025. However, there is only one space available on the October 4th departure.

will we be able to go in the thermal bathes

Yes, you'll definitely get to experience geothermal springs during this tour — it's one of the highlights many travellers enjoy.

Is this appropriate for us?

The physical rating for this trip is 2 out of 5, which means it includes some easy physical activities, and no specific physical preparation is required to enjoy the journey.

What choice do we have in vegetarian or Indian meals

Once we note this in your booking, our local team will try their best to cater this for your upcoming tour.

Need a private room with private bathrooms at every stay. Minimum 3 to 4 star facility. Will that be possible with this trip.

No changes can be made to the accommodation, as it is already pre-set and fixed by the tour operator. The group size is relatively small, with a maximum of just 12 travelers—making for a more intimate experience.

Could you provide us with information on the Iceland Discovery 8 day tours that are available after September 10, 2025. 1. What size are the group's? 2. What time do things generally start in the morning and wrap up at the end of the day? 3. Is there a bathroom on the bus, or how are bathroom breaks managed? (Ie we we have no special health issues, are 68 and 70 respectively and reasonably good physical shape for our ages) 4. Do you try to group people based on age?, or if not, would there be tours with groups that are made up of people mainly age 60 and over?

This tour runs with a minimum of 1 and a maximum of 12 passengers, so it offers a nice small-group experience. Daily activities usually begin after breakfast, typically before 9:00 AM, and wrap up in the late afternoon or early evening, around 5:00 to 7:00 PM, depending on that day's itinerary. We travel in our own private minibus, which allows us to visit more off-the-beaten-path destinations and provides flexibility. All our vehicles include complimentary Wi-Fi, and bathroom breaks can be arranged on the go with the help of your tour leader. While we don't group travellers by age, we do pair up shared rooms based on gender.

Is it required to buy travel insurance for the tours?

While not mandatory, we highly recommend purchasing travel insurance for peace of mind and unexpected events.

Can you confirm if pre- and post-tour accommodation can be arranged?

Yes, pre- and post-tour accommodation can be booked.

Can you manage payments with credit cards?

Yes, we accept most major credit cards for payments.

Thank you Vytautas for taking the time to share your thought on your recent trip to Iceland. We are thrilled to hear that you had a great time but are sorry to hear that the information sent during the booking process with TourRadar did not get through to us at Intrepid. We will be investigating how this occurred to prevent further issues from happening again and regret that you had to provide the information a second time during the welcome meeting.

Took the premium Iceland trip with intrepid and felt we were really ripped off. The premium trip was almost $3000 a person more than the Discover trip and only included one extra day. The hotels were not wonderful and the meals were only fair. There was no choices on the meals and they didn’t even include coffee or tea, they also did not include the transportation back to the airport at the end of the trip. Have traveled with six other companies and this was disgraceful.Show more

This was an amazing once in a lifetime trip. Truly fantastic. The small group size meant we got a lot of personalized attention, we got to see a lot of extra sites, and we stayed safe from Covid exposure. Our guide was pleasant, knowledgeable and fantastic to be around; just a great guy. I think everyone else on the tour was a repeat Intrepid/TourRadar customer. If you can, I’d book one day extra in Reykjavík at both the beginning and end of the tour.Show more

I only had two days of private bathroom out of whole time ( one shower didn’t drained, unable to finish shower)! Very low quality rooms! It was hostel room basically! Iceland itself is beautiful but accommodation was horrible, I have never have been treated like this low quality! I have been through Tourradar before. I will never go through this again! We are not a back packers group!!! We stayed hostel most of times! It is your job to get private bathrooms attached to rooms! All of us been horrified about accommodations! But let me make clear that Our guid Einor was professional and kind guid! He did best he could help us out! It’s the your company put us like dirty rooms!Show more

Incredible trip! Shame the itinerary is changing for 2020 as it’s cutting out my 2 favorite stays on the trip. Still..I’m not a tour person at all. I prefer off the beaten path, flexibility for unexpected adventures, etc. but Jónas provided all of this. He was the best!!!! As a avid single, female, I’ve realized done a lot of solo travel but there are many places I’d like to go that aren’t the best choice for a single, solo, female traveler. However, now that I’ve found f Intrepid Tours, the doors have opened and I am already looking at where to go next.Show more
