All of the above is computed from Heading North's own 4 product records, not from a questionnaire. Fleet size and typical group sizes are the figures a comparison table usually shows; Bókun does not carry them, so we would be guessing, and we would rather leave a gap than fill it in.
From the operator's own Bókun vendor record. The year is when the company's registration number was issued, which is the closest thing to a founding date that can be checked at skatturinn.is; the brand may be older or younger than the company. Their own site: headingnorth.is — same price there as here.
Where we compare their tours with the alternatives — including when we say to book someone else.

No. We sell Heading North's tours at the price they set, through their own booking system, so the seat costs the same here as on their site. What you get here in addition is one checkout for every tour in your trip, whoever runs it, and one place to turn if plans change.
None of the 4 Heading North tours we sell includes a hotel pickup. Each tour page gives the meeting point — they start from Höfn í Hornafirði.
Free cancellation up to 2 days before the start. The exact window is printed on every tour page and in your confirmation, and a refund goes back to the card you paid with.
Their departures we sell start from Höfn í Hornafirði. Check the map on each tour page for the exact meeting point.
Their tours are guided in English, Spanish, French, German, Croatian and Serbian, according to their own product records. Where a tour is audio-guided rather than led by a person, the tour page says so.
Yes, on 4 of their 4 tours, the lowest being 14. The rest set no minimum. The planner filters by your youngest traveller if you give it ages.
