volcano tours
Two operators we sell for, both running a volcano tour. Here is what separates them, in the figures we hold — and where nothing does, this page says so.
BusTravel Iceland costs about €113 more a head, and that difference buys 8 more hours out, more to choose from in this one category, hotel pickup without arranging your own way there and more languages on the booking form. If that is what you want, it is worth paying for. If it is not, LAVA SHOW does the same activity for less.
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.

BusTravel Iceland: pickup is offered on some of their tours here. LAVA SHOW: meet at the departure point. Check the individual tour before you book — operators change this by departure.
Our availability snapshot covers the next 360 days. In that window BusTravel Iceland has 359 bookable dates in this category and LAVA SHOW has 359. An operator with no departures in the window is usually seasonal rather than closed.
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.
