About Iceland Holiday Packages

When travelling in Iceland, you will, no doubt, come across snow-covered volcanoes, erupting geysers, and countless waterfalls. A Holiday Package in Iceland will not only guide you towards natural attractions like these but take care of all the boring details, such as booking accommodations and transportation, as well. 

Those looking to travel during Iceland’s Northern Lights season can check out our Winter Holiday Packages. If, however, you wish to explore in the long hours under the Midnight Sun, then a Summer Holiday Package is the right option for you.

We offer both summer and winter Self-Drive Tours, perfect for those who want to grab the wheel themselves and set their own pace on their holiday. However, those looking to relax and let somebody else do the driving, then a guided tour is the best option. 

Guided tours come in two forms, Small-Group Guided, where you’ll travel around the country with no more than 17 other people, and Privately Guided where you’ll travel only with the ones with whom you booked the tour. We also offer Off The Beaten Path Tours. The emphasis on those excursions is to visit places usually left untouched by mass tourism. They usually also include exciting activities such as diving or hiking.

What's Included in Your Iceland Holiday Package

Included in your Holiday Package at Traveo are all accommodation during your trip. The first and last nights in Iceland are usually spent in Iceland’s capital, Reykjavík. You’ll stay at a hotel or guesthouse in or near the downtown area, meaning that you can explore the city’s main attractions shortly after you land in Iceland. 

When not in the city, you’ll spend your nights in comfortable country hotels and guesthouses. All accommodations offered on Traveo have a private bathroom unless otherwise is stated, and breakfast is always included. 

Transportation also comes included with a Holiday Package. When booking a Self-Drive Tour, you’ll receive your vehicle at Keflavík International Airport so that you can start your adventure right away. 

On Guided Packages, you’ll journey between the airport and Reykjavík via bus or a private transfer, depending on the type of tour you’ve booked. The day after you land, your guide will pick you up from your accommodation and take you on an adventure around Iceland. 

While booking an Iceland Holiday Package, you can customise your vacation by adding additional activities and tours such as snorkelling, snowmobiling or visiting an ice cave. Sometimes, these activities are included in the package itself. If that is the case, it will be clearly stated in the individual tour description and its “included” section.

After booking, you will receive a personalised itinerary with detailed information on the places you will see and the activities you will do while on your travels around Iceland.

Frequently asked questions

The Icelandic weather is notoriously fickle; we recommend you bring layers of warm and wind-resistant clothes. Waterproof clothes is also a good idea in case it rains, or if you want to walk behind Seljalandsfoss Waterfall. Good shoes are a must. Preferably ones that cover your ankle to give you support as the terrain is not always flat and dry. 

We recommend you bring a hat covering your ears, scarf and gloves (thick gloves in the winter, thinner in summer). You might not need them all the time in the summer, but you’ll be happy to have them if you do. 

Don’t forget to bring sunglasses as the sun might be very low for a long time in the winter and very bright in the summer, especially if you choose to do a glacier hike. Sunscreen in the summer is advised as here in the polar regions, with a thinner atmosphere, the sun can burn very quickly, and burns often go unnoticed until it’s too late. 

Other than that, make sure to bring your camera as you will want to capture those amazing landscapes and share it with your friends and family when you return (or on the spot as 4G is available almost everywhere).

We offer a variety of packages that you can book online on our website. Each one is different and will go to different places. However, most of them will make stops at Iceland’s must-see places such as the Golden Circle and those on the South Coast. If, however, you can’t find what you are looking for or you want to go to a specific place, we also offer the possibility to create your own holiday. This is our speciality and would gladly tailor-make the perfect trip for you.

Yes! Of course, children can join our holiday packages. If there are any age restrictions, they will be clearly marked in the package description. Some additional activities might not be suited for young children; however, you can also find information on age restrictions on activities in the “Optional Activities” section of each package.

When coming with children, we do recommend to do a self-drive tour as this will give you more freedom on your schedule and what you will see every day. Just make sure to let us know when booking how old your children are so we can have a car seat or booster ready in the rental car. 

Yes, you will, especially on Self-Drive Tours where you have the complete freedom to see anything you want. On our Small-Group Guided Tours, you will spend most of the day sightseeing and be guided to the best spots. If you wish to combine freedom with professional guidance, then we recommend our Privately Guided Tours.

If a tour that was included in your package gets cancelled due to weather conditions, you’ll have two choices. You can either postpone it, and we will help you arrange your itinerary to fit your new schedule, or get a refund for that tour. If overnight stays were part of your cancelled tour, we would help you find suitable accommodations for those nights, and adjust the refund accordingly. On rare occasions, you might have to make up the difference if your new accommodations are pricier.

Fantastic Trip - Iceland's Ring Road Hands down, the greatest trip we have ever taken was the week our family spent in Iceland. We have traveled around the globe and none of our trips to SE Asia, Australia, Canada, Caribbean, etc. come close to what we experienced in Iceland. The majesty and diversity cannot be found anywhere else on the planet. We cannot say enough great things about working with our coordinator Omar and our tour guide, David. Omar was extremely personable and easy to work with during all phases of our trip. One of the itinerary items was a trip to the Blue Lagoon, originally scheduled to take place as soon as we landed in the morning. Unfortunately, due to the fissure volcano making a mess of things nearby, the Blue Lagoon was closed. Omar notified us before we departed from the US and had two different options for us to choose from. We ended up visiting the Secret Lagoon and had a wonderful experience. When we were in Iceland, Omar stayed in touch with us to ensure everything was going well. For reference, our itinerary included a geothermal spa, geysers, lava fields, a glacier hike, an ice cave hike, a food tour, a Northern Lights tour, shopping, waterfalls, a dairy farm (the fresh ice cream was a hit!), black sand beaches and the glacier lagoon. Our private guide, David, was such a great guide that we have been singing his praises ever since we returned home to all of our friends and family. He is extremely knowledgeable about Iceland's history and geographic features, is able to convey his knowledge in a way that is engaging, was able/willing to make ad-hoc suggestions and stops to keep us all entertained (including our 7 year old daughter), and was a delight to be around.

Amazing Trip Planned by Ómar - Traveo One phone call and several emails and Ómar planned our perfect family vacation! 8 days & 7 nights filled with wonderful activities and adventures that allowed us to experience Iceland! From suggesting restaurants and hotels to planning activities, Ómar could not have been more patient and receptive! He then arranged everything & was available when we needed to adjust plans while in Iceland! Would definitely recommend Ómar & Traveo.

One word for Iceland, Traveo and Holly - Awesome. One word for Iceland, Traveo and Holly - Awesome. Trip was relaxing, enjoyable. I managed to see Aurora, humpback whales etc. From my first enquiry about my plan to spend 12 days 11 night in Iceland. Holly has been working meticulously to draft and advise how I should spend my 12 days in Iceland. She is the kind of tour advisor everyone would like to engage with. As traveller/tourist I have come across lots of tour advisor. Holly is the top of the cream. She knows what suits me and the programme that she drafted not too rushed and bland. She is responsive even through email. She answers all my queries or hiccups i face during my holiday, she will reply to my email spontaneously. With her advice, I caught the Aurora from Tjornin Pond in Reykjavik for two nights. Instead joining the Aurora Hunting tours i took Holly' advice. I would say I'm lucky because with that kind of lights surround the Tjornin Pond i still manage to catch the Aurora. Keep up the good work, Holly and Traveo.

Super Service Traveo hat ein sehr nettes Programm zusammengestellt. Der eigentliche Plan war die Nordlichter zu sehen. Leider hatten wir Sturm und Schnee die ganze Woche. Aber dadurch wurde es ein richtiger Abenteuerurlaub. Als wir dann an einem Nachmittag durch einen Schneesturm festsaßen, weil die Ringstraße gesperrt wurde, hat uns Holly von Traveo auch spät am Abend noch eine Unterkunft besorgt. Super Service.

Great Travel Advisors with a personal touch! Omar at Traveo was an incredible travel advisor. He responded to our initial email promptly and continued to stay in touch with us until we got back home after our trip. We met with him on Zoom to discuss the kind of things that we like to do, our desired activity level, and the most popular as well as off the beaten path things to do in Iceland. He put together a personalized trip that took away all of the worries of traveling in a foreign country. The volcano erupted while we were there and he quickly secured a reservation at Sky Lagoon for us because Blue Lagoon was closed. I would highly recommend Omar and Traveo to anyone traveling to Iceland!

Wonderful winter honeymoon We ended up changing honeymoon destinations last minute and didn’t have much time to research for Iceland! We worked with holly and told her activities that we would like to do and what we envisioned and she came up with the perfect itinerary and took care of all the bookings for us. It was fantastic and everything was seamless! The timing of all the activities and travel were perfectly timed to maximize use of daylight hours! It made for a wonderful stress free honeymoon 🥰

Traveo, the best self drive tour company ever!!! Her name is Holly. She is Traveo. She represents everything a travel organization should be. I contacted Traveo with only a few weeks to my desired travel time period. I explained that I wanted to take my wife for her birthday back to Iceland for a second time. The main purpose was to see the Northern Lights as this year was a 7 year cycle and the lights had been extraordinary. As that part turned out we were treated to a phenomenal light show the very last night we were there. And as an aside we drove through Grindavik and the Blue Lagoon mere hours before they closed it down. And over the roads that have buckled! Oooh, shivers!! So back to the planning for this trip . Traveo came up in a search when I looked for trip advisors. I contacted them just to see how unreasonable it would be for them to do what I did the year before. Holly contacted me right away and simply asked what did I want to do? How long and where? So I told here I had 9 days and I want to go through the Snaefellnes peninsula. Part of the Golden Circle and out to the Glacier Lagoon and Vestrahorn Mountains. In a matter of days Holly had an itinerary set up for me detailing all those places and more. Being particular I said I didn't need this place and would rather go to a different place. No problem, no questions, and the changes were made the next day. We continued over the next week detailing and getting more specific. Mind you this was before I had made a commitment to Traveo! I must admit I was flabbergasted that in a very short period of time that Holly had put together an amazing itinerary. I was impressed with everything she/Traveo presented. In a simple and elegant app you have everything you could possible need. You have at your fingertips a page for every day of your trip. Each day has your accommodations, everything in that area worth seeing, where to eat, and specific links to just click on to take you there. All the navigate links were spot on and so easy. Every hotel is detailed in offerings and breakfast was included in every one. That specifically is something everyone should be sure is included. I can't say enough about how good this app is. It was perfect in every way. Always available, included everything I could possibly want to know about my trip. My package included my rental car (always get a four wheel drive and the largest size you can afford. Be sure to get unlimited miles and the extra all inclusive insurance.) We also wanted to do a couple of side events. We asked to do the glacier snowmobile trip and the Blue Ice cave experience. A few days later Holly contacted me and explained that the snowmobile tour was canceled due to weather conditions that the company could not control. She had other multiple choices for us already and we chose the Dune Buggy Tour. Boy oh boy, this is a trip everyone should choose. Its more for extra fun than anything. We were flying across the black sand beach, up and down the side of huge dunes, splashing through rivers . And I must admit up to 60 kph. That was an incredible awesome side trip Do it!! It's Icelandic Mountain Guides at Myrdalsjokull Glacier. We also took the Blue Ice Cave tour through Trollo Expeditions at Jokulsarlon Glacier. Our guide Frikki was the best. Again, just do it. We had to change the time slot just the day before and Jonathan, also of Traveo made the change in less than an hour. Again, superb service. We traveled the whole Snaefellsnes peninsula, through the golden circle, and all the way south east to Hofn and the Vestrahorn mountains We came back through the southeast via Grindavik, the Blue lagoon and on to Keflavik. Just to name a few places on that route you will see Kirkjufell, Geysir, Gullfoss, Vestrahorn and so many other incredible waterfalls, glaciers and just plain beautiful scenery. You will see Vik and the black sand beaches and the basalt columns. iceland is treasure after treasure . Go there. There was only one bad and ugly experience. The rental car pick up was a horror show. Mind you this is out of Traveo's control. The company was supposed to have someone available at all times to help you. They have a call button but no one responds. When you get in at 4:00 am and they don't open until 6:00 am, that's a problem. When they tell you the vehicle is just outside here in this lot and it takes four people an an hour to find it, that's a problem. Needless to say , wasting three hours made me a very unhappy camper for that company. I'm not going to name them, that's not my purpose. Just beware to compare your arrival time, car place time and how to acquire your vehicle before you get there. We are used to a much different system in the US. So one thing I can say for sure, if you want to travel, do it with Traveo. They are first class, very detailed, and helpful in every way, every time. My sincerest thanks to Holly. I have a very happy wife so therefore, a very happy life!!!

Amazing Iceland experience with Traveo itinerary My husband and I used Traveo- Omar to go to Iceland last year 2022, it was so thoughtfully booked and we had an amazing experience that we wanted to go back this year and see more of this place beauty. First of all, Iceland is a magical place with a lots of world’s wonders. From blue lagoon, hot springs, glaciers, volcanos, northern lights, waterfalls, natural ice caves, volcanic black beaches and so on. Omar put up the itinerary for us to capture the most beautiful places on the south with amazing hotels on the way to sleep in with restaurants with (oh my God) the best food in the world. We have never tried better food, even in Italy. Everywhere we went, even the sandwiches on the gas station were so delicious. Not sure how they do it. But everything tasted so well in Iceland. We would highly recommend using Traveo- ask for Omar to book your trip. He would think of everything from rental car, places to eat, rest and enjoy. Thank you Ómar for another memorable experience.

18 day trip around Island in October 2023 We did a 18 day trip around Iceland in October 2023. We had a great time. All hotel bookings and the rental car were done by Traveo. Traveo booked some activities and we booked some additional activities ourselves. Due to weather conditions (snow storms) we had to change the itinerary, because some roads were closed. Traveo supported us with that by booking another Hotel 'on the fly'. We drove counterclockwise around the island, about 3800 km. Never a dull moment. In general we were rather lucky with the weather. Only at the last day we were not able to do a hike due to strong winds.

You're in good hands!
