For more than 85 years, GJ Travel (Guðmundur Jónasson Travel) has hosted travelers from all corners of the world. Through our company many have returned time and time again together with their families and friends, to experience Iceland’s beautiful nature and historical traditions. Our dedicated team never loses sight of the “personal touch” and works hard to ensure that the varied and interesting itineraries offered by GJ Travel provide fully for the needs of today’s travelers.
Our company was formed in 1929 when our founder Guðmundur Jónasson obtained his first driving license. Fascinated by the seldom explored interior, he ventured out to the highlands and even onto the glaciers, opening a whole new world to the 20th-century traveler. Since his death in 1985, his family has continued to share his love and enthusiasm for Iceland and are committed to introducing even more interesting tours and adventures for everyone to enjoy.
We also own a fleet of modern, comfortable buses which range in size from 7 to 69 seats and in addition have several 4-wheel drive and high clearance buses which are specifically adapted for Highland travel. All our buses offer free Wi-Fi.
We offer scheduled Winter and Summer tours in our FIT Department while our Group Department can create itineraries to suit all needs. These include specific “special interest” tours for groups keen on photography, bird watching or geology – and for school trips, as well as organizing walking and natural history tours. They will arrange for all accommodation and transportation – which can include camping, farmhouse accommodation and/or hotels – and we always provide a specialist tour guide.
