Ask our team →Before You Book
How do I book a tour on Visiting Iceland?
Open the tour, pick a real departure date and time, and set how many are travelling. Your seats are held, and you finish and pay on the secure checkout run by Bókun, the booking system the operators use. You get a confirmation by email.
Is it safe to pay?
Yes. Payment is taken on Bókun's checkout and the card is processed by Teya. No card details are entered on this site, and Visiting Iceland never sees or stores them. The price you pay is the operator's own price in Icelandic krónur, taxes included, with no booking fee added.
Who actually runs the tours?
Six Icelandic tour operators, largest first: Icelimo Luxury Travel, Reykjavik Sailors, Norðurflug Helicopter Tours, IceTransfer.is, Skemmtigarðurinn Grafarvogi, Action Adventures. Every trip is run, crewed and insured by the company that owns it, and every photograph on the guide is theirs. Visiting Iceland lists them in one place; it does not operate any tour itself.
Are the dates, seats and prices real?
Yes. Each tour page reads its departures, remaining seats and prices from the operator's booking system when the page opens, so what you see is what the operator has on sale at that moment, not a copy from earlier in the season.
Can I book a transfer from Keflavík Airport to Reykjavík or the Blue Lagoon?
Yes. The guide lists 31 transfers, 17 of them to or from Keflavík Airport, run by Icelimo Luxury Travel and IceTransfer.is. They are private vehicles priced per car rather than per seat, so a family or a group pays one price.
What if I need to cancel?
Each tour carries its operator's own cancellation terms, and they differ from operator to operator, so read the one on your tour rather than assuming a common rule. 31 of the 99 listings allow free cancellation up to 24 hours before departure; the rest state their own cut-off.
Where do whale-watching tours leave from?
The guide lists 13 whale-watching trips: from the Old Harbour in Reykjavík into Faxaflói bay, and from Akureyri harbour in the north. Both are run by Reykjavik Sailors, and each page shows the season's remaining departures with seats left.
