Fabulous landscapes

Iceland has such a diverse and dramatic landscape and I felt this tour covered so much in such a short time yet never felt rushed. Our tour guide kept us entertained with history and folklore and even added a few extra stops on our last day. I would highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants to see Iceland on a tour.

How many people are usually in a small group?

We operate a few of our consecutive multi-day tours in small groups where guests can enjoy traveling in a more intimate setting. The number of people in small groups is usually around 25.

My departure flight is the same day as the tour ends, can I make it?

For the best experience, we suggest planning your multi-day tour to end at least a day before your departure flight from Iceland as the tour ends in the afternoon. If you're flying out late at night, after 22:00, it's possible to make your flight the same day. You can even add a private airport transfer with us directly. Just add the service during the second step of the booking process.

However, keep in mind that bad weather or delays could affect your tour end time. If you wish to include accommodation in Reykjavík before and after the tour, have a look at the 7-Day Journey Around Iceland.

Can I join the tour if I arrive in Iceland the same day?

For the best experience, we suggest planning your multi-day tour to start at least a day after you arrive in Iceland. If you're landing no later than 06:30 in the morning, it's possible to join the tour on the same day. You can even add a private airport transfer with us directly. Just add the service during the second step of the booking process.

However, keep in mind that any flight delays could result in missing out on the tour. If you wish to include accommodation in Reykjavík a day before and after the tour, have a look at the 7-Day Journey Around Iceland.

What is the daily average driving on multi-day tours?

You can expect to spend around 4-5 hours on the bus each day. We drive on average around 300 km (186 miles) per day on our consecutive multi-day tours. During the day we do of course stop at multiple locations for sightseeing, activities, meal stops and bathroom breaks, so in total a full day with stops is around 10 hours.
