lagoon & spa visits

BusTravel Iceland vs EastWest: Lagoons & spas

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.
