am i allowed to travel to Iceland with my residence type and what is the plan does the company can support with flying tickets with extra cost .

We recommend reaching out to your local embassy and they will be able to tell you whether you are allowed to travel to Iceland, keeping in mind the type of residency you have. Unfortunately, we cannot provide such information, just to avoid any misunderstandings or misleading information. All of the flight tickets, transfers to and from Reykjavik, as well as your pre and post-tour accommodation (if you are planning to arrive on a day before and depart a day later after your tour) have to be booked by the customers themselves. The 3-day tour will include hotel accommodation for 2 nights, and 3 day guided adventure.

Is there still an opportunity to view an ice cave and walk on a glacier during the summer?

In summer we visit the iconic Katla Ice Cave which combines both the glacier hike and ice cave adventures. The glacier hike would take around 10-15 minutes one way and the ice cave adventure would take around 1 hour.

Can you help contact tourradar.

We understand that you are interested in the tour departing on November 28th. We have contacted the tour operator to check on the availability for this date and are currently awaiting their response.

Would that work for the tour?

Our 3-day tour departs from Reykjavik at 9:00 AM. Unfortunately, the guide will not be able to wait till 10:00 AM. In such cases, we either recommend our customers to join the tour on the next day or take a taxi and chase the group.

I'm thinking about doing the November 5-7 tour. I'm wondering what time we'd need to be in Reykjavík on November 5th, and what the authorized locations for pickup are? Also where would the drop-off location be within Reykjavík?

The pick-up for the tour starts at 9:00 AM and we ask all of our customers to show up at their pick-up locations no later than 9:00 AM, in order to ensure smooth pick-up process. If you are planning to join the tour on the same day of your arrival, you could select your pick-up location at the BSI Bus terminal. However, if you arrive on a day before and depart on a day after your tour, your pick-up/drop-off locations will depend on the location of your accommodation.

Can we be picked up at the cruise port? Also, since we will need to bring our belongings from the cruise, can we bring more than one bag per person?

We can pick you up from Skarfabakki harbor, we have an authorized pick-up location there. The pick-up for the tour starts at 9:00 AM. Regarding the luggage, each customer is allowed to have 1 back-pack, up to 5kg and 1 suitcase up to 20kg. If you have more luggage than we allow to have on the tour, you could book the luggage storage service. By adding the luggage storage service, you will be able to keep your excess luggage at our luggage storage in Reykjavik, for the duration of the tour. The price for this service is 2500 ISK per item.

I would like to know, how many different optional items need to be paid.

There is no need to pay anything extra after you already purchased the tour. We have extras available for purchase, such as Hiking boots, luggage storage.

Is there a list of hotels you pick up from or do you contact when the tour gets closer on where you are picking people up for the tour?

We have a pick-up list which you can find at this link: Pick-Up Information for Tours of Iceland | Arctic Adventures. If you have more questions, don't hesitate to ask.

Do I need to provide passport or insurance details for booking?

No, passport or insurance details are not required for the booking.

Can I be picked up from my preferred location?

Pick-ups can be arranged from designated locations close to many hotels but may require you to reach the nearest possible pick-up spot.

The tour guide was great and so knowledgeble. Overall it was a great trip. The reason for removing 2 stars are due to the tour company and Tourradar not keeping the tour description updated regarding the ice cave here. It seems to be updated now but it clearly showed that we have a dedicated Katla or kther ice cave on the day 2 and the glacier hining on the day 3. As the description said, I expected a lot as that would have been a highlight of the tour and the main reason I chose this tour not the others that states clearly don't have the ice caving experience. At least the tour company explained that it wasn't their fault that the description wasn't updated and denied any compensation due to a wrong description, even though we had a chat on the message beforehand. I guess it slipped out for them to check it thoroughly. Sent me to complain it to Tourradar but they never got back. Quite disappointing on that end.Show more

Dear Ju, Thank you for your detailed review and for your kind words about the guide. We also want to sincerely apologize for the confusion around the tour description. We are sorry that this was not caught earlier and that you were left feeling passed between us and TourRadar without a clear resolution. That’s not how it should have been, and we take responsibility for the miscommunication. If you’d like to discuss this further, please feel free to reach out to us directly, we would be happy to review your case and assist where possible. Thank you again for your feedback and for traveling with us. We hope for an opportunity to welcome you on our tours again! Best regards, Arctic Adventures Team

The experience with Artic Adventures was very good, the hotel was very comfortable, and the breakfast was very complete. The only thing that could be improved is the glacier tour, they take us to the Atlas glacier, the ice cave is very small. They say they take you to one or the other depending on the season, but I think they take us all to the same one. Anyway, the scenery is incredible, it is recommended anyway. GreetingsShow more
