Departure Transfer
A private chauffeur ensures a seamless transition back to Keflavik Airport for your evening flight home.
Best Time to Visit Iceland
For a luxury escape, the best time to visit is during the shoulder seasons of September or March. These months offer a perfect balance of enough daylight for sightseeing and enough darkness to witness the Aurora Borealis from the comfort of a heated spa. If you prefer the Midnight Sun and lush green landscapes, June and July are ideal, though they are the busiest months.
Currency & Money
The local currency is the Icelandic Króna (ISK). Iceland is a virtually cashless society; even the smallest vendors and remote parking meters accept major credit cards and mobile payments. Tipping is not expected as service charges are included in the bill, though it is appreciated for exceptional private guiding or high-end concierge services.
Getting Around Iceland
While public transport is limited, luxury travelers should opt for private chauffeur-driven 4x4 vehicles to navigate the rugged terrain safely and comfortably. For longer distances or a truly unique perspective, domestic flights from Reykjavik (RVK) and private helicopter charters are the preferred methods for intercity and scenic transport.
