    Rebecca

    Asked on January 27th, 2026

    Are there other Iceland options besides the one week tour? I'm mainly interested in seeing northern lights (weather dependent), waterfalls, geysers, beaches, walks, and volcanic landscapes, not so much thermal baths. I'd be traveling solo and would join a small group. I'd prefer a single room with private bathroom. Do you offer travel insurance? I'd like to depart from Madrid in February, ideally as soon as possible for better chances of seeing auroras. Duration around one week.

    • Intrepid TravelOperatorWritten January 2026

      Our 6-day Iceland winter adventure would be a great fit for what you're looking for (auroras, waterfalls, geysers, volcanic landscapes, black sand beaches and scenic walks). Group size: Small group experience with 1–12 travellers, perfect for solo travellers joining others. A single supplement is available if you'd prefer not to share a room. This provides your own room with a private bathroom throughout the trip. Please note that single rooms are limited due to the small properties we use, and availability depends on the departure date. Yes you can purchase travel insurance through tour radar. If you let us know your preferred dates, I'll check availability and provide a full quote for you.

  • C

    Carrie

    Asked on January 5th, 2026

    How many times will we have a chance to try catch the northern lights? Seems like 2 times?

    Tour Details
    • Intrepid TravelOperatorWritten January 2026

      The opportunity for the Northern Lights will always be available on the tour however, seeing them can be difficult as it is heavily dependent on forecast and solar activity so it is something that cannot always be guaranteed. The leader will assist in tracking and will advise the group what nights seem like to best opportunity but I also downloaded my own apps and did my own tracking.

  • S

    Sara

    Asked on October 19th, 2025

    Is 8th Nov. 2025 confirmed departure? Additional/ extras such as entry to Blue Lagoon included? Is hiking shoes or shoes with spikes to hike the glaciers provided?

    Price / Availability
    Tour Details
    • Intrepid TravelOperatorWritten October 2025

      Yes, the 8 November departure is guaranteed to run. Please note there is only one spot left at the moment. Entry to the Blue Lagoon is not included in the tour price, as it is an optional activity. Hiking shoes or shoes with spikes for glacier walks are not provided on this trip.

      Tyler

      TravelerWritten September 2025

      I am interested but have the questions. Must I pay single suppl or are you willing to put me with another women I shared accommodation before. Would it be possible to contact me preferably by phone we would discuss details the best time to visit and I would pay the deposit or full payment. Are you able to arrange the flight from Edmonton AB Canada?

    • Intrepid TravelOperatorWritten September 2025

      If you prefer to share accommodation with another female traveller, we would be happy to assist, as this trip offers twin-share accommodation. If you would like a single supplement upgrade instead, please note that this comes at an additional cost. To provide an accurate quote, we would need your preferred departure date. Once you put a trip spot on hold, we can help arrange the single supplement or shared accommodation accordingly. Regarding flights from Edmonton, AB, Canada, we do not arrange flights for this region.
