2012 Trip to Iceland - Itinerary

看了很多旅遊書和別人的旅遊blog,冰島的夏天(6月至9月)是當地的旅遊旺季,有些住宿的地方需求很大,所以不少人在出發前5個月便訂住宿的地方。Mr. Ha很久沒有駕車,車牌也已經封塵多年,所以我們不會自駕遊,而是坐巴士沿着Ring Road環島遊。為免要「露宿街頭」,我們在2月時便要擬定行程和在網上訂住宿的地方。去了這麼多次旅行,今次真的是非常勤力和做足準備功課。經過一個多月跟不同的agent聯絡,我們的冰島之旅的行程終於擬定好了

  1. 請問你o向邊間agent book "Skalafellsjokull Glacier Walk (private tour - ISK17,900) "?
    ISK 17,900已包兩個人的費用連裝備嗎?
    Thanks
    [版主回覆04/18/2012 11:54:38]ISK17,900是一個人的價錢,行程大概5-6小時,包裝備和酒店接送。我們不是經agent book的。因為很多glacier walk的團不是由Reykjavik出發,就是由Skaftafell出發,而我們又book不到在Skaftafell的住宿,所以send email問tourist information有沒有glacier walk+boat trip介紹。我們聯絡了當中有一間公司,負責人說他不提供Hofn接送,但他介紹了他的朋友給我們,而他的那位朋友有帶private tour的經驗。經過一輪email聯絡,就confirm了這個private tour

  3. Hi, I will go to Iceland in the last week of August and will join local tour, may i know you book the tour in advance or after you arrive Iceland, and how about the trip to Greenland. Thanks.

    Looking for your reply
    [版主回覆08/10/2012 23:34:08]To play safe and have some more time in city sightseeing in Reykjavik, we booked all local tours in advance.

    Our experience is that you may book them after you arrive as there are quite a lot of tour operators in Reykjavik. But, you may have to run the risk that your preferred time slots have been fully booked for some those popular tours (e.g. whale-watching in Husavik) and need to join the tour at another less preferred time. If you go watching whales in Reykjavik, I don't think you need to book it in advance.

    For the tour to Greeland, we also booked it in advance. As the itineraries posted on the websites of different tour operators are nearly the same and the tour is actually solely provided by Air Iceland, we choose the tour operator whose tour price is the most competitive one. Because there are very few flights (one or two) flying between Reykjavik and Kulusuk every day and the 1-day tour is quite popular, I would suggest you booking the Greenland tour well in advance. The tour operator needs some time to confirm the tour with you as they have to confirm with Air Iceland beforehand.
