Severe Weather and Cancellations

Icelandic weather can be extreme and unpredictable. Occasionally, conditions may become too severe to venture outside, prompting us to cancel tours for your safety. If Glacier and Volcano Expeditions must cancel your tour, we will do our utmost to reschedule your booking for a more suitable time; if rescheduling isn’t possible, we will issue a full refund. Please refer to our terms and conditions for complete details.

Safety is our primary reason for canceling tours. While we still venture into the wilderness during wet and windy conditions, it’s essential that you come prepared for the elements. In winter, temperatures typically hover around 0 degrees Celsius, while in summer, they average around 10 degrees Celsius. Remember that wind chill, rain, or snow can make it feel much colder, emphasizing the importance of suitable clothing and gear.
