Iceland is widely regarded as an expensive destination, and the cost of a trip depends on several choices. This guide explains what moves the cost and what to check before you compare quotes. It does not give fixed prices, because prices depend on your dates, hotels and inclusions.
Our Iceland Ring Road & Northern Lights 7N package is land-only. It includes seven nights in comfort-category hotels on twin sharing, visa assistance, and the sightseeing in the itinerary. See how to reach Iceland for planning your flights separately.
Flights to and from Iceland are not included. Visa fees are separate. Travel insurance, personal expenses such as shopping and tips, and GST are separate too. Meals, entry fees and activities that your itinerary does not list are extra. A rental car and fuel are extra unless your itinerary lists them.
Compare the hotel category, the number of nights, the transport plan and the list of inclusions. A low total can hide extra costs for transport, meals or entry fees. Ask for a written quote with every inclusion listed before you pay, and check whether the price is per person and whether it includes GST.
The local currency is the Icelandic króna (ISK). Exchange rates change, so check the current rate on the day you book. Compare how much you receive before you exchange money or pay by card. Keep a note of the rate you used.
