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 for late risers on your first morning — the earliest departure is 00:30, and Reykjavík pickups start before that.
- 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.

I booked 6 different airport pick ups and drop offs with North Trip, and they were amazing! Always on time, communication was great, friendly drivers. Marcel was very flexible and helpful. I will definitely use their service again for my future trips! Highly recommended if you want hassle free transportation The cars were all modern and great and spacious too.

Marcel was a great driver, he was at the pickup spot on time, brought us to where we needed to go and made bathroom stops as we needed. We did a quick trip from the airport to Reykjavik with a tour of the city. We then hired Marcel to do a tour from Reykjavik to the south coast, and it was a really fun trip. He brought us to the waterfalls, the black beach, and the glacier. He also took our pictures. Finally, we did the trip from the cruiseship to blue lagoon. That was the best relaxing spot to end our Iceland adventure! The prices were fair and we loved knowing we were in good hands.

These guys at NorthTrip.Is were great all around, good preliminary conversation and setup time and day with a confirmation via WhatsUp. Transparent pricing. Driver was prompt and was at the designated meeting spot in Port to take us to Blue Lagoon. He also was there for us the next day to pick us up at the hotel to take us into town - again on-time and with a smile. The entire experience from start to finish was A+. Highly recommend.

NorthTrip.is made my birthday trip to Iceland absolutely memorable! From the very beginning of the trip you can see the excellence of NorthTrip.is services. In the pre planning phase, Marcel had great, friendly and reassuring communication via Whatsapp to coordinate pick up and a tour I inquired about. This was very important to me as a female solo traveler. I booked a roundtrip private airport transfer and Marcel was waiting at arrivals with my name on a sign, was punctual and very professional. He helped with my luggage, car was very comfortable and clean, very smooth ride to where I was staying. The return trip was just as great. Marcel showed up early, but reassuring me not to rush. It was wonderful to know I had booked a reliable transport service and not have to worry about any of those logistics. He was also able to accomodate round trip transport for me to Sky Lagoon from where I was staying with a trusted colleague who was just as excellent in his services. Keeping everyone always in the loop for a seamless service. Marcel also provided a custom private tour for me of western iceland which was absolutely breath taking. I appreciated the time he took into researching places that would interest me and provided me with a paper itinerary. His tour vehicle is very comfortable as well and he always takes your comfort and safety into consideration. Even provided some hydration and made sure to check in throughout the trip to make sure I didn't go hungry so we could plan for lunch. The best part of all. His kindness in taking some really great pictures and videos for me on his phone and even drone. He knew that my phone got water damage the day before and I was so glad he was able to provide those memories for me to take home. Truly above and beyond! It was also nice getting to know Marcel as a person and even seeing him truly enjoy some of the sights on the tour. It's amazing to see your guide just as amazed at Iceland as you are. 5 stars for NorthTrip.is! Do not hesitate to book. Best wishes Marcel and may life continue to bring you success and excellence 😊🌼

City tours — questions people ask
Do I need a city tour of Reykjavík?
Probably not. Reykjavík's centre is small enough to walk end to end in twenty minutes, and Hallgrímskirkja, Harpa, the Old Harbour and Laugavegur are all on the way. A short driven tour (/experience/1194803/) makes sense if you have limited mobility, a few hours between a flight and a tour, or want the outer sights like Perlan and Grótta without a bus. Otherwise, walk, and spend the money on a food walk.
How many days do you need in Reykjavík?
One full day for the city itself, plus however many days you use it as a base for tours. Most people spend the first and last nights here and take day trips to the Golden Circle, the South Coast and the sea. Three to four nights in Reykjavík with three day tours is a sensible first Iceland trip. Longer than that, move on; the country is the point.
What is the Imagine Peace Tower and when is it lit?
A column of light on Viðey island, just off Reykjavík, dedicated by Yoko Ono to John Lennon. It is lit each year from 9 October, Lennon's birthday, to 8 December, the date he died, plus a few other dates including New Year. Elding runs an evening ferry and walk to the tower (/experience/1301/) during the lighting season. Outside those dates the island is still worth an hour for the walk and Richard Serra's sculptures.
Is Viðey island worth visiting?
For a quiet two hours, yes. The ferry (/experience/1539/) takes twenty minutes from the Old Harbour in summer and five from Skarfabakki all year. There is a cafe in the old house, a small church, walking paths and views back across the city. Nothing on it is dramatic, and it is exposed to wind, so pick a calm day. It suits a spare afternoon better than a planned one.
