Know before you go

This is a luxury tour onboard our modified 4x4 jeep/SUV, which guarantees a unique experience of Iceland at a slower pace and with your own private guide.
Pick-up/drop-off from your accommodation in Reykjavik, please confirm at time of booking.
Pick-up and drop-off are possible from Keflavik Airport or outside Reykjavik metropolitan area, with an additional charge. Please let us know when booking.
There is a café on the ferry for food, drinks and snacks.
The weather in Iceland can be quite unpredictable. Occasionally, especially during winter, the tour itinerary might be altered if weather and road conditions are unfavorable.
Due to limited daylight hours during winter, much driving will be done in the dark. Some sites might be visited in dusk or darkness during the winter months (November to February) or even skipped.
Puffins are only visible in Iceland during the summer months (May-August) and sightings, although very likely on the Westman Islands, are not guaranteed.
