3.3 When we must cancel our tours we contact clients either by e-mail or phone. We try to let participants know with at least two-hour notice before the tour departure time. However, the weather in Iceland can change quickly and weather forecasts are not always accurate, meaning that sometimes we need to cancel at shorter notice.
