PICK-UP & DROP-OFF SERVICES
Activity Iceland, and its third-party suppliers, offer pick-up and drop-off services for most of the tours. Please read the tour description very carefully, to see if pick-up and drop-off services are included in the price, can be added as an extra, or if the activity in question only offers the option of meeting-on-location. You, as the traveler, are responsible for your pick-up. This includes providing Activity Iceland with your pick-up location with good notice, as well as being ready at the correct time for the pick-up for your tour. Please keep in mind that the pick-up time and departure time can be different. Activity Iceland, or any of its third-party suppliers, will provide you with information about your pick-up timing, on your voucher, which is provided upon booking. If you are unsure when to be ready for your scheduled tour, please contact our office at [email protected] .
Please note that missing the pick-up does not entitle you to a refund of the price paid for the services. You are responsible to be ready for pick-up at the assigned pick-up point, from the start of pick-up time, in order not to miss the tour.
MEETING ON LOCATION
If you are planning to meet suppliers on location for your tour, please be sure that this can be arranged. Please read the tour description of your tour very carefully, to see if meeting on location is possible, for the activity in question. Please note that there are some tours where this cannot be offered. If you are unsure if this service is available, please contact us at [email protected]. You, as the traveler, are responsible for arriving to the meeting point in time for your tour. This includes being ready at the correct time, at the correct location, in time for your adventure tour. Activity Iceland, or any third-party supplier, will provide you with information about the meeting point for your tour, on your voucher, which is provided upon booking, or by e-mail. If you are unsure when/where to arrive for your scheduled tour, please contact us at [email protected] .
Please note that if you do not arrive in time for your tour, and/or are late to the meeting location of the tour, in other words you do not arrive to the correct meeting point, at the correct time for your tour, you are not entitled to a refund of the price paid for the services.
EXTRAS & RENTAL GEAR
Some tour options offer bookable extras and rental gear. This can be booked in the booking engine, or by e-mail, upon initial time of booking, or by sending an e-mail to [email protected] after-the-fact. Please do this sooner, rather than later, because we cannot guarantee the availability of such extras if they are not booked with good notice. Please note that all extras and rental gear reservations are final. No refund is given for extras & rental gear. This includes single supplements, hiking shoes, waterproof jacket & pats etc. Safety equipment needed for each tour is provided by the tour operator, unless otherwise stated in the tour description. This is not classified as extras, or rental gear.
TRAVEL INSURANCE
As with all world-travel, we strongly recommend that you purchase a travel insurance policy in your home country, that covers your cost should you have to cancel your travel reservation with short notice. These kind of travel insurances are not expensive and frequently cover other risks. Having travel insurance is always a clever idea, when traveling around the world. Activity Iceland does not arrange travel insurance.
CLOTHING
Appropriate footwear and suitable outdoor clothing must be worn, on your adventure tour. Activity Iceland, and any third-party supplier, reserve the right to refuse participation to customers, who are dressed inappropriately, or with inappropriate footwear, since this will put the client’s well-being and safety at risk, as well as the safety of others on the tour. A good rule of thumb in Iceland is to wear, or at least bring, hiking boots and waterproof clothing always. Layers are the key to comfortable Iceland travel!
ASSUMED RISK & OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES
Customers are advised that all activities are undertaken entirely at their own risk, and they must behave in a fit and proper manner at all times, in accordance with Activity Iceland, or any other third-party suppliers’ guidelines. Customers must take proper responsibility for their own safety. All adventure tours, and outdoor activities, carry inherent risks, and Activity Iceland, or any third-party suppliers, do not assume responsibility for accidents caused by customers, or can be traced to their own actions, or are caused by factors outside of human control (Force Majeure). With the purchase of your trip, you agree to these conditions, understanding its implications and accept responsibility for your participation in your trip. Depending on the excursion, you may be requested to sign an additional liability release. If you refuse to do so, you may be forbidden to participate in the activity or tour.
ALCOHOL & DRUGS
Activity Iceland, and all its third-party suppliers, reserve the right to refuse participation to any client they believe are under the influence of alcohol, or other intoxicants. In such circumstances, no refund will be given. The tour guides are well within their right, provided by their employer, to refuse participation to any customer, whose conduct, manner or behavior, is likely to cause offence, upset, or put other passengers in danger. In such cases, no refund will be given.
REVIEWS & FEEDBACK
Activity Iceland welcomes all feedback, both positive and negative, as it helps us improve our overall services, communication with third-party suppliers and our/their performance. We would greatly appreciate if you could share your experience with us, either be e-mail ([email protected]) or on forums such as Tripadvisor (https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g189970-d7593178-Reviews-Activity_Iceland-Reykjavik_Capital_Region.html) and Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/activityiceland/).

All communications relating to these terms and conditions (particularly any requests to cancel or amend your tour arrangements) must be from the lead traveler of each reservation, and delivered in writing, by e-mail, to [email protected] to be considered valid. Once delivered, the amendment and/or cancellation needs to be confirmed by Activity Iceland to take effect, and before any further action can be taken.
