Would this be cheaper direct? No — we sell at Iceland Panorama Tours's own price and take our commission from them, not from you. What you get here is one checkout across operators, one confirmation, and one place to change or cancel it. If you ever find it cheaper on their own site, tell us and we will match it or explain why we cannot.

  • Please ensure you receive a confirmation email, ticket, or receipt containing all the necessary details of your booking. Double-check that your travel dates, pick-up/drop-off locations, and passenger information are correct. If you do not receive a confirmation, kindly contact us as soon as possible to verify your reservation.
  • Iceland’s weather can be highly unpredictable, with conditions often changing rapidly throughout the day. We recommend dressing in layers so you can easily adjust to temperature shifts. A warm base layer, an insulating mid-layer, and a waterproof and windproof outer layer are ideal. Sturdy, comfortable walking shoes with good grip are also advised, especially for exploring outdoor sites. Don’t forget to bring gloves, a hat, and a waterproof jacket to stay comfortable in case of rain or strong winds.
  • The tour is accessible to travelers with mobility issues; however, some areas may have uneven terrain and are not ideal for wheelchairs. Travelers must be able to get in and out of the vehicle with minimal assistance and should be comfortable with moderate physical activity, including walking and standing for extended periods. For any special requirements, please notify us in advance so we can make the necessary arrangements.

Cancellation for this tour

Free cancellation until 24 hours before departure; no refund after that. If the operator cancels for weather or safety, you get a full refund or a new date.

If the weather cancels this tour

Iceland's weather is real. What usually stops this one is a forecast the operator judges unsafe. Here is exactly what happens to your booking.

  1. 1Iceland Panorama Tours decides, and tells us. Operators cancel when it is unsafe or pointless, and we back that call every time — we do not ask them to run anyway.
  2. 2We contact you by email, and by phone if your tour is the same or next day. You choose: another date if there is one you can make, or a full refund. There is no fee and nothing to argue.
  3. 3The refund goes back to the card you paid with, through Stripe, usually visible within a few working days. If this tour was one of several in your booking, the others are untouched.

What you do not get is the day back. If this is the only free day in your plan, put a spare day next to it — the planner leaves days free with the rest-day option. And if you want out because the forecast looks bad, that is your own cancellation: free until 1 day before departure, the operator's policy after that.

Questions on the day: [email protected] · +354 497 1373. How cancellations work in Iceland →

Sold out on your date?

Seats come back — a cancellation, or the operator adding a vehicle. Tell us the date and we will check once a day and email you if one opens. One email, then we delete the address; nothing else is ever sent to it.

Who this is not for

  • Not a good fit if you want a relaxed day: 11 hours is a long time on the road, most of it spent getting there and back.
  • Priced per vehicle, so it is poor value for one or two people and good value for four or more sharing.

Read off the operator's own conditions. If none of it applies to you, this is a good one.

    Great Northern Lights Tour Experience! Booked through Iceland Panorama Tours and everything was smooth from start to finish. The website was easy to use, and the booking process was quick and clear. The tour itself was amazing—friendly and knowledgeable guide, comfortable transport, and well-organized itinerary. They really made an effort to find the best spots, and we were lucky to witness the Northern Lights in all their beauty. Overall, a very professional and memorable experience. Highly recommended if you’re visiting Iceland!
