Would this be cheaper direct? No — we sell at Arctic Yeti Ehf'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.

Good to know
If I am traveling alone, is there an extra charge for a single room?
The single room is an option for those who want a private room. If you are traveling alone and choose not to book a single room, you will be paired with another traveler of the same gender. If you choose to book your own private room, you will be required to pay the single room rate during the checkout process. If the reservation is for two people, a double room will be assigned and no supplement is required unless an additional private room is requested. No supplement is required unless an additional private room is requested or another person is joining the trip and wishes to share a room. In this case, the single room rate will be charged.
Is there a minimum group size to guarantee departure?
Yes, this is a tour with a maximum of 16 people and a minimum of 6. If the group is between 4 and 7 people, a supplement of €355 per person will be charged. When you make your reservation, you will be informed of the current group size and whether a surcharge is required. If a surcharge is necessary, it will be paid on the second payment of the trip. Suppose the minimum group size is exceeded, and you have paid the surcharge. In that case, it will be deducted from the third and final payment of the trip prior to departure. You can check with our travel consultants if a departure has a surcharge or is guaranteed by emailing reservas@arcticyeti.com.
Cancellation for this tour
Cancelling costs 5% of the price within 62 days of departure, rising to 10% within 15 days, then 25% within 3 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 high wind or rain on the ice — the guide decides at the meeting point, sometimes after you have set off. Here is exactly what happens to your booking.
- 1Arctic Yeti 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.
- 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 the cutoff shown above, 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
- Children under 8 cannot join this one.

I have had consistently excellent experiences with this company, both professionally and on a personal level. Everyone I have dealt with has been kind, helpful, reliable, and very easy to communicate with. They have also shown me genuine kindness beyond what I would normally expect, which I greatly appreciate. From a professional perspective, everything has always worked smoothly, and they are dependable and pleasant to deal with. From my own personal experience, I can also say that they treat people with consideration and are willing to help when it matters. A very positive experience overall, and a company I am happy to recommend.

Read before you book
- Blue Lagoon on the way in or the way out — pair it with your airport transferThe Blue Lagoon is twenty minutes from Keflavík. Soak on arrival day or departure day, and why we'd do it on the way in almost every time.
- Blue Lagoon, Sky Lagoon or Secret Lagoon — pick by what your day looks likeThree hot lagoons near Reykjavík, three very different days. We say which one fits an airport day, a city evening and a Golden Circle loop.
- Into the Glacier makes sense from Húsafell, and only just from ReykjavíkThe Langjökull ice tunnel from Húsafell, Klaki base camp, Þingvellir or Reykjavík — which departure to book and what the day really costs you.

Lagoons & spas — questions people ask
Is the Blue Lagoon worth it or is it too touristy?
It is busy and it is worth it, once. The water is milky blue from silica, the setting in the Reykjanes lava is unlike anywhere else, and it sits twenty minutes from Keflavík Airport, so it fits an arrival or departure day. Book a time slot in advance; it sells out. If crowds bother you, go early morning or after 20:00. The Secret Lagoon or Fontana on the Golden Circle are calmer and cheaper alternatives.
Can I do the Blue Lagoon on the way to or from the airport?
Yes, and it is the best way to use it. Transfers like IceTransfer's Keflavík to Blue Lagoon to Reykjavík (/experience/1036423/) or the reverse (/experience/1036419/) stop at the lagoon for a few hours with your luggage stored. Allow at least three hours at the lagoon and check that your slot lines up with your flight. Note that the Reykjanes eruptions have closed the lagoon at short notice; check its status before travelling.
What is the difference between the Secret Lagoon and the Blue Lagoon?
The Secret Lagoon at Flúðir is a simple, warm geothermal pool with a bubbling hot spring beside it and basic changing rooms. It is on the Golden Circle, so it slots into a sightseeing day (/experience/17050/, /experience/624446/). The Blue Lagoon is a spa: silica masks, swim-up bar, saunas and a price to match. If you want a soak after a day of waterfalls, Secret Lagoon. If you want the spa day, Blue Lagoon.
Do I have to shower naked before a pool in Iceland?
Yes, at every public pool and most lagoons. Swimwear off, wash thoroughly with soap, swimwear on, then into the water. It is a hygiene rule because Icelandic pools use very little chlorine, and it is taken seriously. Changing rooms are single-sex with open showers; some larger lagoons have a few private cubicles. Nobody looks. It feels odd for thirty seconds and then it does not.
