General Conditions
AroundTheWorld.is disclaims responsibility for any loss, damage, accidents, or sickness that might occur during our tours. The same applies for any changes in tour schedule, itinerary due to weather, strikes or any other irregularity outside AroundTheWorld.is control.
AroundTheWorld.is reserves the right to alter routes, itineraries or departure times, without prior notice, should the necessity arise. In case of any changes in flights (domestic and international), the passenger has to pay any additional cost caused by this, at the time the service is provided (extra hotel nights, meals, transfers etc). We advise all clients to have insurance, as clients are on their own responsibility on optional tours.
Liability
AroundTheWorld.is reserves the right to alter routes, itineraries or timetables should the necessity arise, including irregularities due to adverse weather or road conditions. No responsibility is taken for losses or expenses due to delay or changes of flights, injury, damaged, negligence, weather, war or other unforeseeable causes. The estimated duration of tours as indicated on our website are standard times and can vary according to road or weather conditions. Punctuality is a key objective in AroundTheWorld.is operation. However, delays may occur for unforeseen reasons. The company cannot be made responsible for losses that a passenger may face due to delay, regardless whether the loss is direct or indirect.

Amounts that exceed the 2% will be charged and clients will be entitled to cancel their booking with a refund according to cancellation refund schedule (below) if the surcharge exceeds 15%.

Cancellation Policy
All cancellations must be made in writing (e-mail for instance) and must be confirmed by AroundTheWorld.is in return, in conformity with business practices within the Icelandic travel industry. We strongly recommend that our clients purchase a comprehensive travel insurance to cover possible need of cancellation. If a volcanic eruption in Iceland keeps you from getting to Iceland, you will get a full refund. If AroundTheWorld.is cancels your tour you get a full refund.
Cancellations of private multi-day tours:
Cancellations made with more than a 60 days notice (prior to departure): Full refund minus non-refundable deposit where applicable (see below)
Cancellations made 60 days or less but more than 30 days notice: 60% refund
Cancellations made 30 days or less but more than 7 days notice: 30% refund
Cancellations made 7 days or less, or no-show at pickup: no refund
Deposits for scheduled tours e.g. photography experience or yoga retreats are non-refundable and non-transferable. This is specified in tour description.
Cancellations for add-ons, e.g. car rental, excursion, and groups with more than 10 passengers may come with additional cancellation clauses. Where applicable, these will be sent with each offer.
In the events where you are prevented to get to Iceland due to e.g strikes or health issues, AroundTheWorld.is’s would work to pass through reasonable refund, there is no guarantee that it would exceed above cancellation terms. It is therefore strongly recommended that our clients purchase travel insurance which will cover unforeseen circumstances which is outside of AroundTheWorld.is’s control. Residents of EEA Member Countries should not forget to bring their European Health Insurance Card (EHIC).
