Which is cheaper, South Coast or Snæfellsnes?+
Across the tours we sell, the typical per-person fare is €183 for South Coast and €160 for Snæfellsnes; the cheapest seats are €117 and €125. Private and per-vehicle tours are left out, because a car price is not comparable with a seat.
Is it cheaper to book direct with the operator?+
No. We sell at the operator’s own price and are paid a commission by them, so the price is the same. Booking here puts both kinds of tour in one basket with one checkout.
