Environmentally-friendly travel
Talking about environmentally-friendly and responsible travel, did you know that buses have lower emissions per person than aeroplanes or passenger cars? Less than 5 people sharing a vehicle is not environmentally friendly. Also, it is without any doubt that Icelandic tour guides are the front line troop for keeping the Icelandic environment clean, protecting, preserving and respecting Icelandic nature and keeping our visitors well informed and safe. Here are some other excellent pros when joining an escorted bus tour:
- You will not have to drive and miss out on nature and views while trying to keep the focus on the road.
- You will have a guide to tell you all about the places you visit.
- You will not need to worry about how to drive in bad weather.
- You will not get lost.
- You get to visit places you couldn’t otherwise, like the highlands.
- You don’t have to spend long days planning.
- You also don’t have to worry about horses and sheep in the middle of the road, which is frequent in Iceland, especially during summer.
- You get to see a lot in a short time.
- You can fall asleep in the comfort of your seat, strike up a conversation with a seatmate or access the web via the complimentary Wi-Fi onboard while your driver navigates the roads safely.
- It’s safer.
- It’s environmentally friendly, sharing transport with more people.
- All GJ Travel buses are EURO 6 emissions standard.
