Is the listed price of $3580 CAD the total price per person or are there additional taxes, fees, etc.? Also, is there a discount on the listed price by using "Mega-2" code that I received in through email?

Are all meals included in the cost of the trip?

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.

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.

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

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.

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?

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. You'll need to bring your own sturdy, waterproof walking boots with good grip.

how much for single traveler, I am willing to share. do you arrange the flights. What is include

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?

What is the physical exertion level required for the tour?

The tour has a physical rating of 2 out of 5, indicating some easy physical activities.

What happens if there are changes or cancellations before the tour?

We will communicate through available contacts, and the tour operates unless there are significant advisories or operational changes.

Are meals included in the tour?

Breakfast is included; however, other meals should be managed by guests, a budget suggestion is provided.

Can you please say what costs are included in the cost of the tour (any food/lodging/landmark admission costs?)

Regarding the cost of the tour, it includes 5 breakfasts, transportation in a private minibus with free Wi-Fi, and accommodation in a guesthouse for 3 nights and a hotel for 2 nights. The trip also includes various activities as specified in the itinerary.

What is the very bet month to go? Hoiw does this tour compare iwht Noirwegian atours?

The best time of year is hard because it really depends on what you want to see, if you are mainly trying to see the Northern lights then I would suggest going between October to March. Late October is when their winter starts and the sun will go down very early but weather and cloud coverage is always unpredictable. It can et really cold during the winter months so just prepare with additional layers and waterproof outer layers.

Arni is/was everything you want in a tour guide. (I've traveled for 40 years.) For example: -humorous: made things light-hearted and fun -patient: gracefully responded to travelers who missed announced meeting places -competent: mastery of tour subject matter, for example: Iceland history, culture, language, sites visisted -humble: welcoming, not make you feel stupid, to novices like me of Icelandic things -considerate: cheerfully acomodated requests to stop (for toilets, grocery, wine stores) -compassionate: jumped in to help mom w/ son who had unexpected nose bleed -skillfull driver -volcano expert Regarding the tour: this Iclelandic Tour was absolutely mind blowing....the natural beauty of the country was other worldly, from volcanoes to glaciers to northern lights. Highly recommend this tour! Go! Go! Go! I recommend Arni as tour guide and Intrepid Travel to anyone visiting Iceland Shawn and LizzyShow more

Iceland and the Northern Lights was on my bucket list and the trip did not disappoint. We had a great tour group and our tour leader was well organised and knowledgeable. Highlights were the glacier, ice caves and Northern Lights. Scenery along the journey was spectacular - every day was fantastic. Highly recommended trip. I would recommend though you invest in "ice crampons" - the ice is slippery and a fall on the ice is not a recommended part of the trip.Show more
