Cancellation for this tour

If the weather cancels this tour
Iceland's weather is real. What usually stops this one is closed F-roads or a highland storm — decided by the Road Administration and the driver. Here is exactly what happens to your booking.
- 1TREX 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 1 day before departure, the operator's policy after that.

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 available in winter; the operator runs it roughly May to September.
Read off the operator's own conditions. If none of it applies to you, this is a good one.

We just used this company to take us to the start of the laugavegur trail and pick us up. Had a good experience with them. They were on time for departure and arrival. They even let people book right before the bus left at thorsmork. The ride is rough in the highlands, but it’s expected. You do transfer to another bus at a gas station which is about a 15 minute wait.

Took one bus from Reykjavik to Landmannalaugar on the 6th of August 2025 and another one from Thorsmork to Reykjavik on the 10th. BOTH TIMES this same blue bus broke down (we know it was the same one because of the broken windshield) and we had to wait several hours outside for another one to be sent. This is completely unacceptable. The driver did his best but didn't communicate with the travellers so we didn't know what was happening. AVOID THAT COMPANY, there are others that are way better.

Very friendly and competent driver from Porsmork to Hella! What a challenging road! But this buss driver did it with great ease. He is also incredibly friendly! Thanks a lot for the safe drive. 🙏🏽

I can see why they have low ratings. They need to do a bit of work on hiring nice staff. This was quite possibly the rudest person I’ve ever met and I’m from New York so that is saying a lot. He was sitting on the step entry to the bus I asked if I could just reach past him to throw out my paper cup as the trash can was right next to him,. He replied ‘no, go throw it out in the toilets’, I said are you saying that I cannot use the cam provided on the bus? He replied ‘yup that’s what I’m saying’. There are no trash cans near the toilets by the way. Do they want travelers to leave Trash behind in state parks? Wow, unreal not exactly the type of person who should be working with clients, he is more interested in his phone than clientele, you’ll be losing business left and right.

Read before you book
- Þórsmörk day trip: super jeep or highland bus?A super jeep is the only way into Þórsmörk all year and the easy way in summer. The highland bus is a third of the price, but summer only and fixed to its timetable.
- Best Way from Keflavík Airport to Reykjavík (2026)Shared bus, private car, or the Blue Lagoon on the way: the Keflavík Airport transfers we would book ourselves, with real per-car prices.
- Blue Lagoon transfer: private car, shuttle or taxi?A private Blue Lagoon transfer costs €107 to €232 per car. Under three people the bus is cheaper; with luggage or a late flight the car wins.

Airport transfers — questions people ask
How do I get from Keflavík Airport to Reykjavík?
It is about 50 kilometres and 45 minutes by road; there is no train. Scheduled airport coaches run to the BSÍ terminal after every arrival and are the cheapest option. Private transfers (/experience/942190/, /experience/1193487/) meet you at the door and drop you at your hotel, worth it for families or late arrivals. Taxis are expensive. If you are stopping at the Blue Lagoon, book a transfer that includes it (/experience/1036423/).
How early should I be at Keflavík Airport for my flight?
Two and a half hours before a European flight and three before North America; the airport is small and queues bunch around the morning and afternoon departure waves. From central Reykjavík allow 45 to 60 minutes' driving plus a buffer in winter weather. That means leaving your hotel three and a half to four hours before departure. Coaches and transfers work backwards from your flight time when you book.
How do I get to Landmannalaugar without a 4x4?
By highland bus. From late June to September, scheduled transfers run from Reykjavík to Landmannalaugar (/experience/247406/, /experience/914986/) and back, about four hours each way on gravel and river crossings. The return-in-a-day option (/experience/270187/) gives you several hours at the site. Rental cars without 4x4 are not insured on these roads and get stuck. If you are hiking Laugavegur, the luggage transfer (/experience/1036525/) moves your bag hut to hut.
Is a private airport transfer worth it?
For three or more people, or a night arrival, yes. The coach drops you at a terminal or a hotel bus stop and you may need a shuttle or a walk with luggage; a private car goes door to door and waits if your flight is late. For a couple on a daytime flight with light bags, the coach is fine and much cheaper. Check the tour page for what happens if your flight is delayed.
