Would this be cheaper direct? No — we sell at Mountain Taxi'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.

Cancellation for this tour
Free cancellation until departure. 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 closed roads — the Road Administration shuts the mountain roads before the operator has to decide anything. Here is exactly what happens to your booking.
- 1Mountain Taxi 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.
- 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.
- 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 0 hours before departure, the operator's policy after that.

We were lucky enough to spend 2 days with Kristjan, during which we saw just the most beautiful and breathtaking sites. Kristjan is unfailingly kind and deeply knowledgeable about the history of the country as well as its natural wonders. He clearly catered the experience to our interests and we were lucky enough to have once in a lifetime experiences. He also introduced us to lovely eateries for lunch and he has wonderful knowledge of each owner and their history. We could not recommend him highly enough. As an LGBTQ couple we felt safe and accepted throughout.

I can’t begin to express the wonderful experience we had touring Iceland with Mountain Taxi. It started with Björk's patience answering our questions and finding us an itinerary that fit our needs. We spent 3 days touring with Kristján. It was amazing from the ice caves, waterfalls, and top of the Langjökull glacier. Kristján is not the type of tour guide that sits in the jeep while you explore or eat. He is an enormous wealth of knowledge on Iceland, and pretty much everything. Kristján is out exploring alongside, sharing history, and finding crowberries with you. We had torrential rain one day. Kristján improvised plans to include Friðheimar which usually requires reservations months in advance. It seems everywhere we went that he knew people. Mountain Taxi is a must for exploring Iceland.

We had the absolute pleasure of a private super jeep tour of the Golden Circle with Kristjan. The tour was full of wonders, made all the more so by the charm, knowledge and wit of our guide. Driving through difficult off road terrain, at times in severe wintry conditions, he kept us safe, entertained and informed throughout the whole day. We would unreservedly recommend Mountain Taxi to anyone seeking a tour from a true local guide.

We had gotten bogged on the black sand beach while a Mountain Taxi tour group saw the sights. Without hesitation, Kristjan stepped in to save the day. He towed our car and provided incredible help and support. Then, when we tried to give him something for his time, he refused. This kind of generosity shows what sort of business Mountain Taxi is. Although I haven’t experienced the tour, I could not recommend Kristjan more!

Super jeeps — questions people ask
What is a super jeep?
A four-wheel-drive truck or van rebuilt for Iceland: raised suspension, huge low-pressure tyres and a snorkel, so it can cross rivers, drive on snow and climb glacier tracks that stop a rental car. Groups are small, usually eight to sixteen people. Super jeeps are how you reach Landmannalaugar in the highlands, ice caves under Mýrdalsjökull and dark northern-lights spots off the main roads. They are pricier than a coach, and rougher.
Is a super jeep northern lights tour better than a bus?
Slightly, for two reasons. A super jeep can leave the tarmac and find darker, more sheltered spots, and with ten people rather than fifty you spend less time waiting at stops. Arctic Adventures' Northern Lights Explorer (/experience/209/) and Northern Lights by 4x4 (/experience/1088067/) are the standard options. The sky is the same either way; a jeep does not make clouds part. If budget matters, a small-group minibus gets you most of the benefit.
When can you take a super jeep to Landmannalaugar?
Late June to September, once the highland roads open. The Landmannalaugar Safari (/experience/341/) is a twelve-hour day from Reykjavík with river crossings, a short hike and a soak in the natural hot river. The rest of the year the road is closed to everything except specially licensed winter expeditions. The dates the F-roads open vary each year with the snow, so if you are booking for June, expect a possible reschedule.
Is a super jeep tour comfortable?
Comfortable enough on the tarmac, bumpy on the rough stuff. That is the point. Expect to be thrown about on lava tracks and river beds, and to sit in a bench seat for several hours. People prone to motion sickness should sit in front and take a tablet. The trade-off is access: you see places coaches cannot go, with a driver-guide who talks to you rather than over a microphone.
