Airport transfer.

We booked a private airport transfer from Keflavik airport to Reykjavik for six people. The driver was on time and took us straight to our apartment. Two days later, we tried to book another ride with them from the city to the airport but unfortunately it was all booked up so unfortunately we had to take another company, which, by the way, was terrible. My advice is, book a both way transfer with this company way ahead.Affordable and, most importantly, on time.

Snaeland Travel provided our minibus service to transport us from the Hilton Hotel to the airport very early in the morning of our departure. The driver arrived 5 minutes early, was exceedingly helpful and delivered us safely to the airport. No complaints at all and definitely recommend this company.

This review should be read with the understanding that this was a package (Northern Lights Hunt) made through secret escapes.
Prior to this trip which is on many peoples bucket list the information was sparce. There were also concerns that a volcano was about to erupt and we had no information or updates about this prior to the trip.
Our easy jet flight was early so the transfers which were provided by another company were not there. However they did come earlier than expected and we were transferred to the hotel Klettur. I think a lot of the people in the tour get a basement room so there is no view and there were roadworks going on outside but it was comfortable enough and well situated for the restaurants and bars. At this point I think a welcome email from Snaeland would have been nice and a bit more information about the itinerary.
The next morning we were met by our guide in the hotel reception and we started the tour. The coach was lovely and comfortable and always kept really warm. What we saw over the next three days is too much to describe in this review but included several amazing waterfalls, being able to stand next to a glacier, a lake with icebergs, a seal and geezers.
We stayed in hotel Kria Vik which was lovely and in walking distance of some places to eat. Iceland uses Geo thermal energy so its cheap for heating so everywhere was warm and cosey. We were very lucky with the weather and it did not rain. When we were going from place to place the light would change all the time and the views were spectacular. We went out on the night with the least cloud and drove for about twenty minutes to a dark place in the countryside. The stars were amazing and we were able to see the Northern Lights but only through our mobile phones. Part of the tour which was an extra but was then cancelled was the blue lagoon due to the earthquakes. There was no alternative offered but we did get some money back.
The guide was very knowledgeable he had an amazing dry sense of humor, we bought loads of music and radio to listen too on the trip but did not use it as we were fascinated by all he had to say however sometimes a good morning or something may have been nice. He did not communicate directly with anyone during the trip but I expect that was his way.
So I went on a bucket list trip and did not have two of the main highlights the blue lagoon and the Northern lights. However I have to say this stunning unique country has made a real impression on me. I will never forget what I saw. The amount of amazing things you can see in a short space of time is unbelievable. It is a lot of money to pay for a short break but so worth it even if it parts don't go as planned.

I booked a midnight airport transfer from KEF airport to Reykjavik for 6 people, including a 2 year old child. The driver failed to bring a car seat for the child. She made it clear that this had happened before in an attempt to downplay the situation; she also said getting a car seat from the company at that time of day would be impossible.

Snaeland Travel has so far ignored my attempts to contact them about this safety issue.

Signed up for this service to deliver us from the airport with a stop at blue lagoon. When we arrived the person left the airport area before we could reach him and then we had to wait for him to come back. After that he told us it was too early for Blue Lagoon but they knew our arrival time when we made the reservation but never said anything. We never stopped at Blue Lagoon. I asked for a refund of that fee - I have given them sufficient time to make this right but I have gotten nothing but silence. Other than this experience the trip ot Iceland was great. Please consider using another company.

We are sorry that you had to wait extra time at the Airport since the driver had left - Good to know that he came back when you had called. Our drivers do follow the arrival of flights by flight number and do not wait if passengers do not show up or call 80 min after arrival of flight As stated on our website entrance ticket for Blue Lagoon must be bought in advance directly at the website by the Blue Lagoon. We are not able to control reservation time at Blue Lagoon by our customers when reservation for airport shuttle is made online. Client must be responsible that reservation time at Blue Lagoon does fit to transport time and can always ask us about advise if they are not sure about timings. I have not seen your request for refund of fee for stop at the Blue Lagoon - Please send it to sales@snaeland.is

I booked a round trip between Reykjavík and Keflavík for a group and was very happy with their service. We had to reschedule one of the pickups due to a delayed flight and that was handled very well on short notice. Both our drivers were helpful and showed up before the scheduled pickup time to give us plenty of time to load our luggage and get settled in. Absolutely recommend.

We used their taxi service from KEF to our Reykjavik hotel. The driver was personable and spoke English. He met us just outside of the baggage area with a sign. The night time drive from KEF was fine and we were delivered to the front of our hotel. The driver obviously had a good knowledge of the city as the streets in the area were small and some one-way.

Flew in on November 11th, picked up by Ziggy and had a wonderful tour - "Reykjanes Peninsula Private Tour." He worked with our delayed flights, showed us some wonderful sites on the Peninsula before dropping us off at two different hotels in Reykjavik. We then used them for airport transfer from domestic to international. HIGHLY recommend this company.

Utilised this company for trips to; Golden Circle, Blue Lagoon & Northern Lights hunt (yes, we saw them!) can’t recommend them highly enough, they do a great job. The drivers are confident on the ice roads as you’d expect and kept everyone safe at all times. The guides were very knowledgeable and spoke perfect English.

I booked our Keflavik to Reykjavik transfer and return through Snaeland, and they were awesome! I corresponded with their office several times before I booked, and they always got back to me promptly. After booking, I had to change our pick up time and location, and again, they replied quickly, letting me know that they had received the information and made the changes to our itinerary. At Keflavik, our driver was waiting for us in the airport when we got out baggage claim. The driver for our return was prompt, friendly, and professional. There were 6 of us traveling together, so the price was very reasonable.
