Frequently asked questions

Here are some frequently asked questions. If you have any others, contact us.

Can I customize the trip to my liking?

We offer a 7 or 10-day road trip, fully mapped out, so it’s not possible to adjust the duration or itinerary of the trip. However, you are free to follow the route exactly or deviate from it as you wish, and to extend your stay on your own initiative (for example, by staying a few extra days in Iceland after the road trip).

How many people can go?

Iceland Nomads was specially designed for groups of 2 or 3 people.

  • If there are 2 of you, you can choose either the 4×4 with rooftop tent or the campervan.
  • If there are 3 of you, you can choose the 4×4. We provide an extra ground tent and the camping equipment you need (mattress, sleeping bag and pillow), as the rooftop tent is only large enough for two people.
  • Would you like to travel with more than 3 people? That’s possible, but you’ll need to split into several smaller groups. Each group must register separately and will be assigned its own vehicle.

If you’re travelling alone, you can travel with WeAdventures, which offers trips specially designed for solo travellers.

Feel free to contact us in advance to check availability.

How does payment work?

Within 3 days of booking, you pay a 30% deposit to confirm your trip. You then have until 30 days before departure to change your options and pay the remaining balance. If you change your options, the total price will be recalculated automatically.

If you haven’t opted for damage cover, you’ll also need to pay a security deposit before departure (more information can be found in the insurance section).

There are several payment options available. Did your payment fail? It’s probably due to an error when entering the reference number or because you’ve exceeded your card’s limit.

We would like to come with our kids, is that possible?

Yes, absolutely. You can travel with a child as long as your group does not exceed 3 people per vehicle. That’s the maximum we recommend to keep the trip comfortable, especially with all the camping gear provided.

If you are traveling with 3 people and your child is over 8 years old, we will provide an additional ground tent. If they are younger, they can sleep with you in the roof tent or in the converted van.

If you are traveling with a young child, you are also entitled to an additional discount. Just email us to request it.

If you want to travel with 2 children or more, unfortunately, you will need to book 2 vehicles. With all the camping gear included, traveling with more than 3 people in the same vehicle is not comfortable.

Is there on-site assistance?

Upon your arrival in Iceland, you are warmly welcome by our English-speaking team, who will give you an explanatory note before your road trip begins.

Throughout the journey, you’ll find useful information in our mobile app, which also includes a messaging feature: you can chat with other participants leaving on the same date, and a team member is available in case of emergency.

What does the travel journal contain?

The travel booklet contains all the necessary information for a successful visit to Iceland.

The complete itinerary is outlined there: you’ll visit the most famous spots in the country, but we’ll also guide you to some hidden gems that aren’t yet on most tourist maps. Daily stops are suggested, and you can choose to follow them or add your own along the way.

You’ll also find a selection of unique places to grab a drink or a meal in the evening.
