ICELAND ROADTRIP

EMBARK ON THE JOURNEY OF A LIFETIME IN ICELAND!

Ever tried a self drive roadtrip?

Iceland has been an extremely popular destination in the last few years, so much so that you may think you already know a lot about this Nordic gem. But if you don’t visit the country you’d never get the real feel of this paradise & before you start planning we need you to know that if you cannot drive then you don’t have to worry at all!
The RoadTrip is designed in a way that everyone gets a chance to drive & if you’re good at it then you can even be the lead driver for your car.

Option of a Mini Bus for those who do not want to drive is also available.

Note :
• Inform us if you don’t know how to drive. Simple ?

•The roads are easy in Iceland & if you have driven in India you need not worry at all (offbeat driving is not required at all for this roadtrip)

• 6 out of 8 hotels/cottages/farmstays that are booked for your roadtrip boast about catching Aurora from their property so you might get lucky too as they are perfectly located! (Fingers crossed)

Day 9: Time for Goodbye Hugs
Drop the vehicle in the morning, check out & extend if your office allows or simply look for the airport shuttle bus to fly back home

Note :
• If there’s any tour that you’d like to try then we would recommend you to add one more day after the group trip is over.
For example: Scuba diving between the tectonic plates is extremely popular but it’s not something that everybody can handle and if it’s the ice caves then please note that it’s very touristy
• Airport drop on last day is not included because some travellers are likely to extend or depart at different intervals
• when we are away from the city we will have to rely on either super markets for some days
• staying away from the city increases the chances of catching Aurora Borealis & the properties chosen for you are known for the high chances of Aurora viewing
• farm stay (one night) is a high quality stay but the washrooms in the farm area are not given in your rooms
• Daily breakfasts are included at your hotels & we will need to squeeze in some time for lunch during our daily tours as restaurants are not available everywhere on the route
• Do not forget to carry some ready to eat packets even if you’re a meat person as we are going in areas where the restaurants shut down very early
