CLIMATE & AVERAGE TEMPERATURES
Iceland
In Iceland, including Reykjavik, July and August are the warmest months, featuring mild summer weather and long daylight hours. Average temperatures range from 13–15°C during the day and 8–10°C at night, creating cool and refreshing conditions. While the weather is generally pleasant, it can be unpredictable, with occasional rain or overcast skies, so layering and waterproof clothing are recommended. These months are ideal for exploring Iceland's breathtaking landscapes, with lush greenery, accessible hiking trails, and the midnight sun offering extended opportunities for outdoor adventures.

Greenland
In Greenland, July and August are the warmest months, bringing relatively mild summer weather perfect for exploring the country’s stunning landscapes. Average daytime temperatures range from 6–12°C, while nights are cooler at 1–5°C, with coastal areas typically being a bit chillier. The weather can vary, shifting from sunny and clear to overcast and windy, with occasional rain. These months offer extended daylight hours, making them ideal for outdoor activities such as hiking, sailing through fjords, and experiencing Greenland’s breathtaking glaciers and rugged terrain.

Weather
Weather patterns and forecasts are often not as reliable as they once were, so we always suggest referring to an online source for the most up-to-date information.  

FLIGHTS
Seat Selection & Frequent Flyer Points:
We do not arrange seat selection. It is essential to highlight that some airlines do not allow pre-selected seats. We strongly suggest you contact the airline directly with seating allocation requirements and/or arrive at the airport earlier to arrange your seating. While we do not add frequent flyer member details to bookings, you can do this directly with the airline once you have your flight information.

Passport Validity:
Customers must provide valid passport details either at the time of purchase or no later than 45 days before the departure date. Failure to do so may result in the cancellation of the booking. Customers will be responsible for any costs and fees incurred in this instance.

Fitness Level Required:
Adventure (and spontaneity) create some of the best travel memories. Bear in mind, your home schedules and timings might not be adhered to on tour - it's all part of the fun!

A moderate level of fitness will be required. 
Moderate is described as a moderate pace of touring with a focus on guided tours that may include full days with extended activities, guided city tours or nature walks. You will require a general level of fitness for unassisted navigation of stairs and inclines, longer distances with possible periods of standing when visiting sites, walking on sloping, uneven ground or elevations. You will be responsible for your own luggage and have the ability to board all modes of transport without assistance. Please note: Many areas may be inaccessible to wheelchairs or mobility scooters, where the unassisted use of personal walking sticks and other aids may be required. Although some assistance may be available, every traveller should be self-reliant during all aspects of their travel.
Please note: It is expected that every traveller must be self-reliant and able to undertake all aspects of their own travel. Please speak to your booking agent about your personal circumstances and any assistance requirements to ensure this tour is right for you.
Please note: If you have any concerns, please consult your healthcare provider prior to purchase/travel.

Yellow Fever:
A valid international certificate of vaccination against Yellow Fever is required in many countries. You may need to present this on arrival at the airport or border crossing. Some countries will refuse entry if you are unable to present your certificate. It's also common for your home country to request a Yellow Fever certificate upon arrival.
You must check with your doctor well before leaving home about the Yellow Fever requirements for the countries you'll be visiting.

Sightseeing:
Please note: If entry to a site is affected by changes in operating hours or public holiday closures, your itinerary, where possible, may be adjusted, or a similar activity will be offered in its place (subject to availability).

Shopping: 
Shopping overseas can be a daunting and confusing experience, especially when there is a language barrier. Please be very cautious when foreign currencies and prices are involved. If paying by credit card, please pay close attention to the amount you are being charged and keep all your receipts. 
Do not make any purchases you are not comfortable with or feel pressured into. If you are uncertain or need assistance with the language barrier, please seek assistance from your Tour Guide/Leader.
Please refer to our Terms and Conditions regarding shopping for further information.
