Highlands (Landmannalaugar): questions people ask

How much do tours from Highlands cost?

From €100 to €388 a person, with a typical price of €164. That is the median of 11 per-person day-tour fares we currently sell. Multi-day packages and private charters are priced differently and sit outside those figures.

What is the cheapest of the tours from Highlands?

One way: Landhótel Hella -> Landmannalaugar with TREX, at €100 a person. Read what it actually is before booking on price alone — the cheapest line is sometimes an admission ticket rather than a guided trip, and a large coach costs less per seat than a small-group minibus because it gives you less time at each stop.

How many tours from Highlands do you sell, and who runs them?

25 of them, from 14 operators: Atlantsflug, Sleipnir Tours, Arctic Adventures, Nordur Travel Services ehf, Southcoast Adventure, Mountain Taxi and 8 more. Every one is a company we hold a contract with — we do not list everything in Iceland, on purpose.

How long do tours from Highlands take?

Day tours run from 1.5 hours to 12 hours, most commonly about 5 hours. Pickup and drop-off are usually inside that figure, so a three-hour tour from Reykjavík can mean closer to four door to door.

Are there multi-day options among the tours from Highlands?

Yes — 7 of the 25 run over two days or more. Those include accommodation and usually breakfast; check the individual itinerary.

Do tours from Highlands include hotel pickup?

13 of 25 (52%) offer pickup. The rest ask you to meet on location. Pickup is the single most common cause of a missed tour in Iceland: it runs to a window rather than a time, and the bus will not wait long.

Can I book a private version of the tours from Highlands?

8 of the 25 are private, the other 17 are shared departures. Private costs more in total but is priced per vehicle, so for four or more people it often works out close per head — and you set the pace.

When can I do the tours from Highlands?

Across the next 360 days of live availability we hold departures in September, October, November, December, January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August. That is a rolling window rather than the whole year, so a month missing from that list is not necessarily a month with nothing running.

Are the tours from Highlands seasonal?

24 of 25 run only part of the year; the other 1 run all year round. In Iceland that is usually about daylight or ice rather than demand.

How late can I book tours from Highlands?

Cutoffs run from 1 to 16 hours before departure, and 10 of them accept bookings inside 24 hours — so booking the night before is often possible. Popular winter tours sell out days ahead regardless of the cutoff.

Can I cancel a tours from Highland booking?

21 of 25 (84%) allow free cancellation at least 24 hours before departure. The exact window is on each tour page and comes from the operator's own policy, not ours. If the operator cancels for weather you are refunded in full.

How fit do I need to be for tours from Highlands?

Operators rate them: 14 easy, 8 moderate, 2 challenging, 1 very easy. Iceland's ratings assume weather — an easy walk in still air is a different proposition in 15 m/s of wind.

Is there a minimum age for tours from Highlands?

14 of the 25 set one, ranging from 4 to 14 years. The rest have no stated minimum, which usually means infants are allowed but not that the tour suits them.

Are tours from Highlands suitable for children?

11 of 25 are marked family-friendly by the operator. That is their judgement rather than ours, and it usually means the walking is short and the vehicle has a toilet.

What is included in tours from Highlands?

Varies by operator. Across these: parking fees on 2, fuel surcharge on 1, admission fees on 1, wi-fi on board on 1. Anything not listed as included is not included — Icelandic operators are literal about this.

Are tours from Highlands guided, and in what language?

14 of 25 are guided in person, with guiding offered in English, German, Hungarian, Italian, Spanish. English is standard on every shared departure in Iceland; other languages usually mean a private guide.

Where do tours from Highlands start from?

All of them start from Highlands (Landmannalaugar). Where a tour starts matters more in Iceland than how long it lasts: the same tour from Reykjavík and from Vík are different days entirely.

What happens to tours from Highlands in bad weather?

The operator cancels and refunds you in full — Icelandic operators cancel readily, and that is a good sign rather than a bad one. What they will not do is refund you for a tour that ran and simply had poor visibility. Wind cancels more tours here than rain or cold.
