Good to know

For a comfortable and enjoyable experience we recommend bringing a duffel bag or similar type of luggage as it is easier to transport during the tour. Make sure to pack appropriate outdoor clothing for the Icelandic climate, as the weather can be unpredictable. Layered clothing is always a good idea, and a waterproof jacket and pants are essential.

For footwear, we recommend bringing a pair of sturdy hiking shoes or boots, as there will be opportunities to explore the natural landscapes along the way. It's important to have comfortable shoes that can handle different types of terrain.

It's also important to note that this tour is casual, so there's no need to bring any fancy clothing. For dinner, we'll be going to a pub, so casual-sporty attire is perfectly acceptable.

It is also recommended to bring a small backpack to carry essentials such as a camera, gloves, snacks and drinks. Additionally, sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat or other head covering can be useful to protect from the sun. It's also recommended to bring a refillable water bottle as well as a power bank or extra battery for electronic devices. Swim suits are highly recommend, there is always time for a relaxing bath in Iceland.

Overall, it's important to come prepared with appropriate clothing and footwear to ensure that you have a comfortable and enjoyable experience during the tour. Don't forget to bring a camera or phone to capture the amazing scenery along the way.

P.S.: if you need help or advices before to buy clothing or other equipments feel free to drop us a line, we’ll be more than happy to assist you remotely.

Cancellation for this tour

Cancelling costs 5% of the price within 999 days of departure, rising to 50% within 7 days. 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 Adventures ehf 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 the cutoff shown above, 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

  • 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.

Multi-day packages — questions people ask

Are multi-day tours in Iceland worth it compared to day trips?

For the southeast, yes. Jökulsárlón and the ice caves are five hours from Reykjavík, so a day trip is fourteen hours of mostly bus. A two- or three-day tour (/experience/6131/, /experience/923386/) sleeps out there, sees the lagoon at a sane hour and adds an ice cave in winter. For the Golden Circle and South Coast alone, day trips are fine. Multi-day tours cost more per day but include the hotel.

What is included in a multi-day tour?

Transport in a minibus with a driver-guide, accommodation with breakfast, all the listed activities such as glacier hikes and ice caves, and the entrance fees on the route. Lunches and dinners are usually not included; you stop at guesthouses and cafes and pay your own way. Single travellers pay a supplement for their own room. Check the tour page for exact inclusions, the hotel standard and luggage limits, which are tight on small buses.

How many days do you need for the Ring Road on a tour?

Six to eight. Six-day tours (/experience/785082/, /experience/876949/) get round with one night in most regions and long driving days. Seven and eight days (/experience/20483/, /experience/33665/) add the highlands or Snæfellsnes and give more time out of the bus. Anything shorter than six is not a Ring Road tour. Summer versions have the highland detours; winter versions swap them for ice caves and shorter daylight.

Should I arrive in Iceland the day before a multi-day tour starts?

Yes. Multi-day tours leave Reykjavík between 08:00 and 09:00 and do not wait for delayed flights. Land the day before, sleep in the city, and start fresh. On the other end, tours arrive back in Reykjavík in the evening, so do not book a flight home the same night. In the planner, put arrival on day one, the tour from day two, and leave the last day for the flight.
