Environmental policy

BusTravel Iceland takes pride in being a company that evaluates sustainability and safety highly.  We are committed to the idea of sustainable tourism, which means that we encourage ourselves and our guests to experience Iceland while striving to make a positive impact on its environment, society and economy. We aim to have our operations as eco-friendly as possible and with your help we can do even better!

VAKINN – Quality & Environmental Certification

BusTravel takes pride in being qualified by VAKINN, the official quality and environmental system within Icelandic tourism. Only tourism businesses that maintain the highest standards in all aspects of business practices and meet VAKINN´S comprehensive assessment criteria have earned the right to carry VAKINN.

EURO 6 – European Emission Standards

By having a new fuel-efficient fleet that meets the highest emissions standards, EURO 6, BusTravel Iceland reduces the impact of exhaust emissions, from it’s transportation, on environmental pollution and global warming.

VAXA Technologies – Iceland’s Pioneering Innovation on Carbon-Negative Solutions

At BusTravel Iceland, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. While travel naturally produces carbon emissions, we are committed to taking meaningful action by investing in innovative, carbon-negative initiatives that help balance our impact on the environment.

We are proud to partner with VAXA Technologies, a pioneer in algae farming, to help achieve our sustainability goals. VAXA uses renewable geothermal energy to grow Icelandic Ultra Spirulina (IUS) — a planet-friendly superfood that literally absorbs carbon emissions as it grows. This collaboration ensures that each tour you take with us is not only unforgettable but also carbon neutral.

By combining responsible travel practices, partnerships with innovative solutions, and our ongoing efforts to maintain and update our fleet, we aim to make tourism in Iceland as eco-friendly as possible — helping protect the landscapes we love for generations to come.
