Today's Highlights
Weather changes in Iceland can be unpredictable, and we are sometimes struck with strong winds and low cloud overcast, without much notice. For this reason, flights are dependent on weather conditions and our suppliers reserve the right to change the flight route and/or itinerary due to weather or other circumstances which are out of their control. If in any case the supplier is forced to cancel the flight due to weather, that particular service is fully refundable.
In order to ensure that we are able fulfill the itinerary without much disruption we will do whatever is in our power to rearrange the program so that our guests can still enjoy the activities which have been booked for them.
In case of canceled flights, we strive to make a second plan, usually the day before, or in the morning of acquired information from our suppliers who monitor the weather and keep the Nine Worlds contact, who is on the 24/7 emergency phone, updated. The procedure is that if changes need to be made we calculate the difference between the cancelled services and the services we book instead. Subsequently, the clients are informed of what will be either charged or reimbursed accordingly.
Kindly note that cancellations or changes of the itinerary initiated by the client will not result in refund.
