Cancellation for this tour

Free cancellation until 2 days 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 storm-force wind — rain and mud do not cancel it. Here is exactly what happens to your booking.

  1. 1Marina Travel 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 2 days 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.

    Our mate was incredibly kind and explained everything so clearly, and her driving was smooth and comfortable, which made traveling in the car very relaxing. Since all of us love taking photos, we sometimes moved a bit slowly while stopping for pictures, but she patiently waited for us every time and even took amazing photos of us. We also loved being able to experience Iceland’s stunning landscapes and enjoy truly special moments that are not easy to experience elsewhere, such as glacier trekking and witnessing the aurora. It was truly the best tour we could have asked for, and we were extremely satisfied. If you’re looking for a tour that feels like traveling together in a comfortable, friendly atmosphere, I highly recommend this one!

    I traveled to Iceland with five friends, and our guide was Josip. I love traveling and have visited many destinations, and among all the guides I have met so far, Josip was the best guide. He spoke slowly and clearly for us, knowing that our English was not very good, and he truly made an effort to help us fully experience and enjoy Iceland. Thanks to him, our memories of Iceland will stay with us for a lifetime. Throughout the entire trip, we felt comfortable, joyful, and genuinely happy. Because of Josip, Iceland has become a country we truly want to visit again. Josip was not only the best guide, but also a protector who took great care of us. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to the travel agency for introducing us to Josip.

    Hello! I traveled to Iceland with my friends from Korea. It was the first time I realized how enjoyable traveling with a guide could be. Maybe we were lucky. Even on the same route, the experience wouldn’t have been this memorable if we hadn’t grown close to our guide during the long hours of traveling together. We are always grateful to our guide, Josip, who treated us so warmly that we called him “Papa” throughout the trip. It truly was an unforgettable journey. We love you, Josip!

ATV & buggy — questions people ask

Where can you ride ATVs in Iceland?

In two very different places on this site. Near Reykjavík, the Hafnarfjörður lava fields, twenty minutes from town, host the ATV combos with caving, horses and whale watching (/experience/292/, /experience/1603/). In the Westfjords, Activity Tours runs one-hour and three-hour rides from Drangsnes and Djúpavík on the Strandir coast (/experience/1176229/, /experience/1167831/), with fjord views and almost no other traffic. The Westfjords rides are better; Reykjavík is easier to reach.

Do I need a driving licence to ride an ATV in Iceland?

Yes, a full valid car licence to drive one. Passengers ride behind the driver and do not need a licence, but minimum ages apply for both; check the tour page. Bring the physical licence card. Standard pricing puts two people on one ATV, with a single-rider supplement if you want your own. Buggies (/experience/7689/) are side-by-side and more car-like, if you are unsure about balancing an ATV.

What do I wear for an ATV tour?

Old clothes and closed shoes. The operator gives you a helmet, overalls, gloves and often a balaclava, because Icelandic tracks are mud in summer and slush in winter and you will get sprayed. Wear warm layers underneath; you are sitting still in the wind. Sunglasses or goggles help with grit. Leave anything white at the hotel. A shower afterwards is not optional.

Is ATV riding in Iceland dangerous?

It carries real risk, which is why the licence rules exist. You ride in a line behind a guide at a set pace on marked tracks, so the danger is mostly in overconfidence on loose gravel or steep sections. Follow the guide's speed and keep your feet on the footrests. Travel insurance that covers motorised activities is worth checking before you book; some standard policies exclude ATVs.
