Changes to COVID 19 restrictions in Iceland in affect from the 6th of November 2021

The government of Iceland has announced new restrictions that will come into force at midnight on the 6th of November 2021. These restrictions will affect both our tour- and driving instructing department. 

Restrictions on tours:

• The 1-meter rule has now been put back into force, which means that some seats in our vehicles will be closed off for passengers to maintain a distance between people who are not connected. People who are connected (families, couples etc.) are still allowed to sit together. This also means that when walking at attractions and entering and exiting the vehicles, everyone must keep a 1-meter distance between each other.
• The use of masks has now been made obligatory again. Masks must be used if it is not possible to keep a 1-meter distance or if people are in an enclosed space, such as vehicles. That means that whenever passengers, drivers and guides are on board our vehicles, they must use face masks. Passengers who refuse to wear masks properly or refuse to wear masks at all will be denied boarding.
• Passengers must sanitise their hands every time they enter our vehicles. Sanitiser is provided.
• Passengers with the slightest COVID 19 symptoms, passengers in quarantine and passengers in isolation with COVID 19 are under no circumstances allowed to join a tour with us.
  • This also applies to passengers who have been in contact with people fitting these criteria in the past 14 days
• Vehicles are always sanitised between groups, and touching surfaces are sanitised regularly during the trips as well.

Passengers who do not want to comply with the COVID 19 restrictions will be denied boarding. Passengers denied boarding for not complying with COVID 19 restrictions will not get a refund on their ticket under any circumstances.

Restrictions for driving instructing:

• Keeping a 1-meter distance is not possible in cars. The use of face masks is an obligation again. 
• All students must sanitise before entering the vehicle. Sanitiser is provided.
• Vehicles are sanitised between each student
• Students with the slightest COVID 19 symptoms, students in quarantine and students in isolation with COVID 19 are under no circumstances allowed to take a driving lesson with us.
  • This also applies to students who have been in contact with people fitting these criteria in the past 14 days

Students who do not want to comply with the COVID 19 restrictions will be denied taking the lessons. Students getting denied taking the lesson for not complying with COVID 19 restrictions will have to pay for their lesson under all circumstances.
