1. Bookings
Allocation (bookings) cannot be guaranteed for tours unless reserved or booked in advance. Flybus always has seats available, but we recommend booking in advance. Flybus+ services can be booked up to 2 hours before departure time.
2. Flybus/Flybus+
Scheduled Flybus departures operate from the BSÍ Bus Terminal. Flybus+ service is available from selected hotels/guesthouses/tour bus stops located in central Reykjavík.
ICELANDIA acknowledges that travel bags are designed to protect their contents. Considering normal handling, baggage may show evidence of wear and tear. ICELANDIA does not take responsibility for minor cuts, scratches, and dents, nor for any damage which may occur to items that protrude from travel bags, such as retractable handles, wheels, straps, and luggage carts.
3. Pick-up and drop-off service for ICELANDIA day tours from Reykjavík
ICELANDIA offers both meet on location tours and tours with pick up services from Reykjavík. Pick up locations may differ between tour reservations; it is the customers' responsibility to review and verify pick up information and meeting times. Customers are responsible for their own pick-up and must be at their respective hotel/guesthouse/tour bus stop on time. ICELANDIA reserves the right to change the meeting point of the tour. Missing the pick-up does not entitle you to a refund of the paid services.
Meet-on-location booked customers are responsible for making their own way to the location and arriving in time for their booked tour. Meeting information is provided on vouchers/booking confirmations, and it is the customers' responsibility to review and verify. If customers do not arrive at the correct meeting point at the correct time, resulting in a missed tour, this does not entitle a refund for the paid services.
4. Return times
Please note that indicated return times refer to guided tours only, drop-offs and pick-ups are not included. Additionally, return times can vary due to road and weather conditions.
5. Re-boarding after stops and rest breaks
When the customer leaves the tour bus at sightseeing stops and rest breaks while on a day tour with ICELANDIA, the tour guide will announce the duration of the stop and the scheduled departure time. It is the customer’s responsibility to re-board the bus at the scheduled departure time. If a customer is missing or late for the scheduled departure time, the tour bus will not wait as we will have to keep to the tour schedule. ICELANDIA will not refund the tour or cover any costs incurred due to failure to re-board the tour bus on time. In the event of a failure to re-board the bus on time, the customer will have to make alternative transport arrangements at their own expense.
6. Personal Travel Insurance
Safety is our #1 priority. While our highly trained and experienced guides do their absolute best to ensure that everyone on tour with us has a safe and fun experience, there is still a very low possibility that an accident can occur that may require medical attention. Therefore, we advise that all our clients have insurance that includes rescue.
7. Inclusions
