Iceland is open and travel is not affected by volcanic activity – except Grindavik town and the Blue Lagoon*! 

*Blue Lagoon is in the limit of the danger zone and need to be evacuated in rush when the BIG alarm sounds! All other areas here in Iceland are still one of the safest on Earth!

    1. Cancel/Reschedule for a full refund.

    2. Join the Tour: Enjoy a starry night ride! Note: If you choose to go, you cannot get a refund if the lights do not appear.

What happens if the weather is bad?

If the weather is unsafe (stormy), we will cancel the tour and offer you a reschedule or a full refund.

We drive on rough gravel tracks and trails (which is an off-road experience!), but driving off the marked trail onto the moss or nature is strictly prohibited by Icelandic law.
