Individuals – Notice of Cancellation made
– more than 2 weeks prior: 25%;
– less than 2 weeks prior: 50%;
– less than 72 hours prior: 100% (no refund).

made
– more than 4 weeks prior: 25%;
– less than 4 weeks prior: 50%;
– less than 1 week prior: 100% (no refund).
Due to more stringent cancellation rules of some of My Visit Iceland’s service partners, which include Tour Operator’s and Hotels, refunds may, depending on the composition of the cancelled services, be lower than outlined above. Cancellation by passengers within a group may either result in a price increase for the whole group and/or a cancellation fee being charged to the passengers who have cancelled.

Exempt from this are any rescheduled second tries of tours which already have been serviced as a first departure. In the case of a volcanic eruption taking place on Icelandic soil causes a cancellation of your flight to the country, you will also receive a full refund on tours and car rentals.
6.5.1 If a third party operated Multi-Day tour is cancelled due to weather, My Visit Iceland is under no obligation to find or pay for accommodation on any cancelled nights.
