Customize your trip

With our True Choice Program, you can choose to stay longer before or after your trip on your own, or combine two adventures to maximize your value. Here are more ways to create the OAT adventure that’s right for you:

  • Choose our standard air routing, or work with us to select the airline and routing you prefer
  • Make your own international flight arrangements directly with the airline, applying frequent flyer miles if available
  • Stay overnight in a connecting city before or after your trip
  • Request to arrive a few days early to get a fresh start on your adventure
  • Choose to “break away” before or after your trip, spending additional days or weeks on your own
  • Extend your adventure with our optional pre- and post-trip extensions
  • Combine your choice of OAT adventures to maximize your value
  • Upgrade to business or premium economy class

The air options listed above will involve an additional fee of $100 per person for confirmed requests (as well as incremental airfare costs based on your specific choice). This service fee will be waived for Inner Circle/Sir Edmund Hillary Club members.

Or, when you make your reservation, you can choose our standard air routing, for which approximate travel times are shown below.

the BEST referral program in the industry

Inspiring new travelers to join the OAT family is a rewarding experience—both for you and your new travelers.

Share your love of travel with others and, for each referral who embarks on an OAT trip, you will earn $100 in CASH or credit. With your 4th referral departing on a 2012 departure, your reward increases to $200 in CASH or credit per person. And once you refer 8 travelers departing in either 2012 or 2013, you'll earn a FREE trip valued up to $4,500 per household—which will bring the total value of your earned rewards up to $5,600.

And you are also passing along savings to your new traveler: We'll instantly deduct $100 off the cost of their reservation when they mention your name and Customer Number while reserving.

Is this Adventure Right for You?

What to Expect
  • Physical requirements: This adventure is not appropriate for travelers using wheelchairs or other mobility aids. You must be able to walk 3 miles unassisted over the course of each day, exploring on foot and standing for up to a half-hour at a time. You must also be comfortable participating in 6-8 hours of daily physical activities. We reserve the right for our Trip Leaders to modify participation, or in some circumstances send travelers home if their limitations are impacting the group's experiences.
  • Climate & terrain: Iceland is sometimes subject to harsh weather, but the summer months are quite mild. The weather is warmest in July (when daytime temperatures can reach 70 degrees F), and cooler in the autumn. Evenings can be chilly even in summer. We take one short hike up a small mountain. We’ll also travel over some rugged paths, as well as bumpy, gravelly, sometimes icy roads, by motorcoach and on foot.
  • Pacing: 5 locations in 12 days. We have 1 one-night stay in Reykjavik at the begining of our trip, and 1 internal flight of 1 hour. Due to Icelandair flight schedules, some trips may include an extra night in the U.S. upon arrival. Please ask your Adventure Specialist for details.
  • Transportation: We travel by motorcoach. We’ll board inflatable rafts for a river-rafting excursion that requires agility for embarking and paddling. We’ll also board a boat for whale-watching. Agility is required for climbing in and out of the boat.
  • Accommodations: All accommodations are hotel-standard, with a variety of amenities and personal service. However, lodging options in rural areas of Iceland are limited, and rooms and services may not be comparable to those found in the U.S.
  • Group size & leadership: 16 maximum with 1 Trip Leader.
