Two operators we sell for, both running a lagoon or spa visit. Here is what separates them, in the figures we hold — and where nothing does, this page says so.
The short version
BusTravel Iceland sells 15 comparable lagoons & spas tours from €117 a person; EastWest sells 3 from €139.
BusTravel Iceland is about €56 dearer on a typical fare. Whether that is money well spent is the question this page answers.
Every row below is a number from the operators' own listings or from Google — none of it is our opinion of either company.
Which should you book
BusTravel Iceland costs about €56 more a head, and that difference buys €22 a head off the entry price, 1 more hours out, more to choose from in this one category, more languages on the booking form and more dates to fit around the rest of the trip. If that is what you want, it is worth paying for. If it is not, EastWest does the same activity for less.
Side by side
Prices are per person for tours priced per person — private charters and vehicle-priced tours are left out, because a car price and a seat price are not comparable.

Which of the two should I book?+
BusTravel Iceland costs about €56 more a head, and that difference buys €22 a head off the entry price, 1 more hours out, more to choose from in this one category, more languages on the booking form and more dates to fit around the rest of the trip. If that is what you want, it is worth paying for. If it is not, EastWest does the same activity for less.
Does either one pick you up from your hotel?+
BusTravel Iceland: pickup is offered on some of their tours here. EastWest: pickup on every tour. Check the individual tour before you book — operators change this by departure.
How far ahead can I book?+
Our availability snapshot covers the next 360 days. In that window BusTravel Iceland has 359 bookable dates in this category and EastWest has 24. An operator with no departures in the window is usually seasonal rather than closed.
Do you get a better price booking direct with the operator?+
No. We sell at the operator's own price — we are paid a commission by them, not a mark-up by you. The reason to book here is that you can put both operators' tours in one basket and pay once.
