Tour Islanda Inverno: le Luci dell’Aurora Boreale

FAQ – Le Domande in Preparazione al Viaggio in Islanda

L’Islanda è aperta al turismo internazionale, ed è quindi un paese visitabile dall’Italia.

Un viaggio in Islanda equivale riscoprire noi stessi. Infatti, capiterà sicuramente di ritrovarsi da soli in luoghi idilliaci e nella natura più incontaminata. Pertanto, va da se che le cose da vedere in Islanda sono pressoché esclusivamente naturalistiche. – Reykjavik : la capitale dell’Islanda è l’unica vera città del paese, oltre che unico punto di approdo via aera sull’isola. Dunque, si può facilmente immaginare che sia una località frizzante e ricca di vita culturale. L’attrazione principale è Hallgrimskirkja, la principale chiesa della città che offre anche una piacevole vista sul centro. Invece, il capolavoro architettonico moderno è l’Harpa Concert Hall con un design straordinario e giustamente pluripremiato. Se invece volete conoscere la storia dell’Islanda non perdetevi il Museo Nazionale d’Islanda che ripercorre tuto il ricco passato del paese. Infine, il suo lungomare costellato da locali e ristoranti ha come punto di riferimento The Sun Voyager, una scultura moderna che richiama ad un’antica nave vichinga. – Circolo d’Oro : questo percorso ad anello è probabilmente l’attrazione più famosa d’Islanda. Il tutto si sviluppa nella zona sud-est del paese, e vede come principali attrazioni la spettacolare Cascata Gullfoss, il geyser Stokkur, l’area geotermica di Geysir e lo storico Parco Nazionale di Thingvellir. – Jökulsárlón : situato nel Parco Nazionale del Vatnajökull, questa splendida laguna glaciale è ricca di giganteschi iceberg che si sono staccati dal ghiacciaio circostante e galleggiano nell’acqua creando dei giochi di colore sensazionali. – Vatnajökull : vasto parco nazionale che ospita il ghiacciaio più grande d’Europa, oltre a splendide grotte di ghiaccio, sentieri panoramici e paesaggi mozzafiato. – Seljalandsfoss e Skógafoss : maestose cascate assolutamente da non perdere durante un viaggio in Islanda lungo la costa meridionale. – Reynisfjara : conosciuta per le sue spettacolari colonne di basalto e le sue onde potenti, Reynisfjara è una delle spiagge più uniche e belle dell’Islanda, grazie alla sua particolarissima spiaggia nera. – Dettifoss : situata nella remota regione nord-orientale dell’Islanda, Dettifoss è la cascata più potente d’Europa. – Vik : meraviglioso villaggio sulla costa orientale, è nota per la sua Spiaggia Nera e quella che viene chiamata Chiesa del Miracolo. Infatti, questo è l’unico edificio religioso costruito in un luogo non a rischio di eruzioni vulcaniche pericolose.

L’Islanda offre una serie di attività da fare che sono assolutamente da non perdere, e quasi tutte sono a stretto contatto con la natura. – Assistere all’aurora boreale : se andate in Islanda nel periodo invernale, potreste avere la fortuna di ammirare lo spettacolo delle luci dell’aurora boreale. E fidatevi, è una delle esperienze più belle che si possano fare nella vita. – Immergersi nelle calde acque della Laguna Blu : situata nella Penisola di Reykjanes, questa zona geotermica ospita una piscina naturale di acqua calda in cui potersi fare rigeneranti bagni. Per via del suo colore azzurro intenso e la sua scenografia spettacolare è una delle esperienze più richieste in Islanda. – Avvistare le balene : in molte località islandesi è possibile prendere parte all’esperienza unica dell’avvistamento delle balene. Noi consigliamo quella dal porto di Hùsavik, in quanto la possibilità di vedere questi magnifici cetacei è alta e l’escursione in nave è molto piacevole. – Vivere l’esperienza del mercato del pesce nei villaggi : l’Islanda è scarsamente popolata, ma ogni singolo villaggio, grande o piccolo che sia, ospita un mercato del pesce generalmente molto animato. Vi consigliamo di andare alla scoperta di questi mercati e, perché no, assaggiare del prelibato pesce fresco. – Effettuare un’escursione a cavallo : i cavalli islandesi sono un vero e proprio patrimonio, e li vedrete letteralmente ovunque. Infatti, un’esperienza assolutamente da non perdere è andare a cavallo tra le praterie e le lande sterminate dell’isola.

L’Islanda è un paese ricco, poco popolato ed estremamente sicuro. Infatti, non si registrano grossi problemi di criminalità nel paese che di fatto è considerato tra i più sicuri al mondo. Infine, il sistema sanitario islandese è molto sviluppato e con ottimi livelli di prestazioni ospedaliere.

L’Islanda è uno dei paesi più freddi al mondo, trovandosi ai limiti del circolo polare artico. Tuttavia, l’Islanda si visita in estate e in inverno. Infatti, durante l’estate è visitabile l’intera isola e si può godere della potenza della natura islandese in tutta la sua bellezza, dalle cascate ai fiordi, dai laghi ai geyser fino alle sue spiagge. Invece, l’inverno è il periodo per andare alla ricerca dell’aurora boreale. E’ però importante considerare che nel periodo invernale le regioni settentrionali dell’Islanda non sono visitabili.

Anche se l’Islanda non fa parte dell’Unione Europea, i suoi rapporti con l’Unione sono ottimi e fa parte dell’Area Schengen. Infatti, per entrare nel paese è sufficiente essere in possesso di  carta d’identità valida per l’espatrio o di passaporto  con una validità che ricopra l’intera durata del soggiorno. Infine, dal 26 giugno 2012 tutti i  minori  italiani che viaggiano dovranno essere muniti di documento di viaggio individuale. Pertanto, a partire dalla predetta data i minori, anche se iscritti sui passaporti dei genitori in data antecedente al 25 novembre 2009, devono essere in possesso di passaporto individuale oppure, qualora gli Stati attraversati ne riconoscano la validità, o di carta d’identità valida per l’espatrio. Per maggiori informazioni Viaggiare Sicuri Islanda fare riferimento al sito  Viaggiare Sicuri .

Ad oggi l’Islanda non richiede alcuna vaccinazione obbligatoria  per l’ingresso nel paese. Tuttavia, consigliamo di contattare il proprio medico per quanto riguarda le vaccinazioni facoltative e/o consigliate riguardo i Viaggi in Islanda.

L’assicurazione di viaggio per i nostri tour organizzati in Islanda è sempre  obbligatoria . Come di consueto, per i viaggi all’estero è sempre buona norma munirsi di una buona copertura assicurativa. Per maggiori informazioni sulla nostra polizza annullamento, medico e bagaglio visitare la nostra pagina  Assicurazione .

Per i viaggi organizzati in Islanda è necessario portare vestiti e accessori pratici e comodi. Specialmente in inverno, è fondamentale che siano termici, impermeabili e che proteggano dalle intemperie del luogo. Si consiglia pertanto di portare con sé: – Abiti termici che mantengano il calore corporeo e consentano di muoversi con comodità – Pantaloni lunghi impermeabili – Giacca impermeabile per ripararsi dalle possibile piogge e dal vento gelido – Biancheria intima termica che mantenga il calore – Scarpe da trekking di tipo termico – Zaino di capacità di 15-20 litri – Creme per mani e labbra per ripararsi dall’aria fredda che può portare a screpolature – Lozione antisolare per pelle e labbra in estate – Costumi da bagno da utilizzare nelle piscine geotermiche – Giacca a vento da utilizzare durante l’attività di whale watching

La valuta dell’Islanda è la corona islandese . Il tasso di cambio è di  1 EUR = 148,90 ISK  aggiornato a gennaio 2024. Le carte di credito sono accettate in tutto il paese, e i pagamenti virtuali sono estremamente sviluppati in tutta l’Islanda. Tuttavia, consigliamo di controllare l’abilitazione nel paese con la propria banca.

L’Islanda è un paese decisamente costoso, specialmente se paragonato agli standard italiani. – Bottiglia d’acqua da 1 litro : 2,50 € – Un caffè : 3.50 € – Pasto in fast food : 15 € – Pasto completo in ristorante : 60 €

Corrente elettrica: Il voltaggio in Islanda è pari a 220 Volts e le prese sono di tipo C a due fori come quelle italiane o di tipo F come quelle tedesche. Ad ogni modo, per un Viaggio Organizzato Islanda, è sempre necessario munirsi prima della partenza, di un adattatore universale per tutti i tipi di trasformatori e voltaggio.

La lingua ufficiale dell’Islanda è l’ islandese , appartenente al gruppo nordico delle lingue germaniche. Pertanto, la somiglianza più vicina all’islandese è presentata dalle lingue scandinave, che però hanno eliminato alcuni segni e forme fonetiche per via della vicinanza con il continente. L’Islanda, invece, conserva ancora regole, suoni e segni tipicamente scandinavi che altrove sono ormai scomparsi. L’inglese è comunque ampiamente parlato e conosciuto da una grossa fetta di popolazione, e non troverete difficoltà a comunicare in questa lingua negli hotel, ristoranti e nelle principali attività commerciali.

L’Islanda è un paese in cui vige la totale libertà religiosa. Comunque, la fede più ampiamente praticata è il luteranesimo della Chiesa Nazionale d’Islanda . Ad ogni modo, circa il 10% della popolazione è di fede cattolica , ma sono anche presenti minoranze che praticano l’ etenismo . Questa religione si prefigge l’obiettivo di recuperare gli antichi culti norreni.

Durante un Islanda Viaggio Organizzato, è sempre utile salvarsi il numero unico di emergenza 112 che vi metterà in contatto con: – Polizia – Assistenza medica – Vigili del fuoco – Forestale / soccorso alpino Inoltre, invitiamo a salvarvi il numero dell’Ambasciata Italiana a Oslo o il Consolato Generale di Reykjavik.

In Islanda è possibile gustare piatti della tradizione davvero squisiti, mentre altri potrebbero sembrare un vero e proprio azzardo. Ovviamente, l’ingrediente principale della cucina islandese non può che essere il pesce. Tra i piatti assolutamente da provare durante un viaggio in Islanda, vi consigliamo il plokkfiskur . Questo gustoso stufato di pesce viene servito sempre con patate, cipolle e una crema a base di latte. Ma in Islanda vi è anche carne e latticini di ottima qualità, come ad esempio il lambakjöt che è il tipico agnello islandese. Da non perdere è anche il famoso skyr , yogurt cremoso e ricco di proprietà. Tutti questi piatti sono sempre accompagnati dal pane di segale islandese che porta il nome di rúgbrauð . Infine, se siete coraggiosi, potete assaggiare il tradizionale squalo fermentato che porta il nome di hàkari . Per quanto riguarda invece le bevande, qui la birra va per la maggiore. Ad ogni modo, potrete assaggiare anche il brennivin , superalcolico tipico ottenuto con le patate e aromatizzato con semi di cumino.

L’acqua in Islanda è potabile e molto pulita. Tuttavia, consigliamo di bere sempre acqua in bottiglie sigillate . Questo non è per via della qualità dell’a stessa’acqua islandese ma per la differenza tra la nostra acqua del rubinetto e quella locale.

Durante un viaggio in Islanda avrete l’occasione di conoscere un popolo ancora molto fedele alle sue tradizioni. Pertanto, gli acquisti che si possono fare in Islanda sono innumerevoli. Per iniziare, potrete portare a casa tipici prodotti gastronomici come lo skyr o il harðfiskur , il tradizionale pesce secco da consumare come snack. Potrete anche tornare a casa con validissimi capi di lana di alta qualità, come guanti, cappelli e maglioni. Tra l’artigianato locale, invece, è possibile acquistare sculture in legno , ceramiche e gioielli fatti a mano da veri e propri artisti locali. Inoltre, essendo l’Islanda nota per le sue risorse geotermiche naturali, potrete acquistare prodotti come acqua termale e alghe marine dalle proprietà benefiche.

Gli esercizi commerciali in Islanda seguono un orario tipicamente scandinavo. Pertanto, gli orari vanno dalle 09.00 del mattino e chiudono intorno alle 17.00 . Infatti, lo stile di vita islandese va di pari passo con quello del resto del Nord Europa.

La mancia in Islanda non è una consuetudine radicata nella società, e generalmente nei ristoranti e nei servizi ricettivi viene già incluso il costo del servizio. Ad ogni modo, una mancia per le guide e gli autisti locali viene sempre ben vista dalla popolazione locale come segno di riconoscimento e gratitudine.

Il fuso orario dell’Islanda è quello del Meridiano 0. Pertanto, la differenza è di 1 ora indietro rispetto all’Italia . Quindi, se in Italia sono le 09:00, a Reykjavik saranno le 10:00.

Il prefisso per chiamare dall’Islanda verso l’Italia è 0039 + il numero desiderato. Il prefisso per chiamare dall’Italia verso l’Islanda è 00354 + il numero desiderato. La copertura per la rete mobile in Islanda è abbastanza sviluppata nella capitale. Tuttavia, nelle zone rurali e lungo le zone più aspre il segnale potrebbe essere decisamente più debole o del tutto assente.

Durante i Viaggi Islanda  è possibile scattare  fotografie e girare video nelle principali attrazioni turistiche. Tuttavia, è sempre necessario comportarsi con rispetto nei confronti della popolazione e delle tradizioni locali. Ricordiamo inoltre che in Islanda  sono vietate riprese con il drone senza la registrazione presso l’aviazione nazionale.

  ISLANDA

Perché aspettare per fare un viaggio sulla luna, ...quando basta andare in Islanda! Pensavamo che Bjork, una sorta di extraterrestre, ci avesse preparati. Ed invece no, il tutto va ben oltre! Reykjavik, la capitale, più che una capitale assomiglia ad una strana base venusiana, la cupola Perlan, la chiesa di Hallgrimur con l'architettura in pixel. Più in la l'acqua è azzurra, opaca, come un minerale liquefatto. Il fumo esce dal terreno, i vulcani portano nomi di un altro mondo, l’esistenza degli elfi qui è “ufficiale”, le sublimi sfumature di verde non esistono da nessun'altra parte. In Islanda si entra in un altro spazio e in un altro tempo!

Frequently Asked Questions About Iceland

For more information about visiting Iceland with Nordic Visitor, read on. We’ve answered the most frequently asked questions here for your convenience. You can also find more practical advice and attraction recommendations in our Iceland Travel Guide .

It’s good to know that when you choose Nordic Visitor, you can Book With Confidence , safe in the knowledge that your payments are protected. If you want to know more about our processes and payment details, check out our booking terms and FAQs .

1. Is it safe to travel to Iceland?

Iceland is a very safe place to visit. You’ll find it’s a peaceful country with one of the lowest crime rates in the world. And it’s good to know that Iceland has excellent, modern healthcare services.

As you may already know, Iceland does have active volcanoes but eruptions occur once every 4 years on average. There’s also minor seismic activity on the island, but noticeable earthquakes are rare and the Icelandic Met Office keeps a good eye on these.

Your dedicated, Iceland-based travel consultant will stay on top of these matters, as well as changing weather reports, to keep you safe on your journey. Don’t hesitate to ask the locals for directions or advice either, as Icelanders are used to travellers and tend to be helpful.

For the latest visitor guidance, you can check this Iceland travel update or read our blog: Is Iceland safe to visit ?

2. What language do people speak in Iceland?

Icelandic is the official language of Iceland . It derives from a North Germanic language similar to Old Norse that has changed little since the Viking times. You’ll get by very easily with English in Iceland though, as most locals speak it. Many are multilingual in other Nordic or European languages as well.

If you want to learn some local lingo, then here are some basic words and phrases to practise:

• Já = Yes
• Góðan daginn / Góðan dag = Good day
• Gott kvöld = Good evening
• Hæ / Halló = Hi / Hello
• Bless = Goodbye
• Takk = Thank you  

3. What is the best time of year to go to Iceland?

The best time to visit Iceland depends on the attractions, regions and activities you want to experience.

For instance, you’ll have milder temperatures and longer daylight hours in the summer compared to the winter, which means more opportunities to explore. 

With better weather, you can access remote regions – like the Westfjords and central highlands – between May and September. The mountain roads here close in winter as driving conditions are too difficult.

This makes Iceland summer tours ideal if you’d like to spend lots of time outdoors, discovering the island’s many natural wonders. It’s also the best time to see wildlife, like puffins and whales, and to enjoy activities like hiking.

On the other hand, if you’re keen to chase the northern lights, you’ll have a better chance of seeing them if you visit Iceland in winter . The reason is that the nights are long between October and April, so you’ll have more hours of darkness to spot the colours of the aurora.

Time your Iceland trip for the winter months, and you’ll also get to soak up landscapes draped in frost and snow. You may wish to discover Iceland at Christmas or New Year to revel in the festive atmosphere.

For more advice on when to go, check out these guides:

• Best time to visit Iceland
• Iceland in summer
• Iceland in winter  

4. When and where can you see the northern lights in Iceland?

The best time to take a northern lights tour in Iceland is during the winter season, between October and April. At this time of year, you have a higher chance of spotting the aurora borealis because the nights are dark enough to see the lights shine and flicker.

For the best chance of viewing the aurora borealis, visit secluded areas away from the light pollution of towns and cities. The darker conditions will allow you to make out the colours of the northern lights more vividly.

Read these guides for more information about the aurora borealis:

• What are the northern lights?
• How to see the aurora borealis
• Best times and places to see the northern lights in Iceland
• Top aurora hotels in Iceland  

5. How many days do I need to visit Iceland?

There is so much to see and do in Iceland that you should decide your trip duration according to how many days or weeks you have to spare.

For a short break in Iceland, your best bet is to explore Reykjavík and the surroundings. Within 4 days you could visit the capital’s many museums, shops, galleries and restaurants. There are thermal pools to swim in and festive markets at Christmastime.

You could also see top sights like Gullfoss waterfall, Þingvellir National Park, and the Geysir geothermal area, which includes the hot spring Strokkur. These are all part of the Golden Circle driving route in the south. You can experience the Golden Circle on a day trip from the capital, or over the course of a few days.

Or extend your itinerary and see more of South Iceland . In 7 days you’d get to visit black sand beaches, glaciers, and other breathtaking natural attractions that Iceland’s south coast is known for. Don’t miss the chance to bathe in the mineral-rich waters of the Blue Lagoon, an inviting geothermal pool.

Another great option is to visit West Iceland . Enjoy a northern lights adventure in the remote Westfjords, or head to the Snæfellsnes peninsula.

Called “Iceland in miniature”, the Snæfellsnes peninsula is just 90 kilometres (56 miles) long and has a bit of everything. Discover volcanoes, lava fields, waterfalls, hot springs and fishing villages here.

If you have between 10 days and 2 weeks to spare, then you’ll get to see the many beautiful corners of Iceland. As well as the southern and western regions, you can explore East Iceland and visit North Iceland too by travelling the country’s Ring Road.

Venture east to admire fjords and gaze upon the mighty Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon, where icebergs float on the blue waters. Continue north to Akureyri and the Lake Mývatn area to marvel at the Krafla volcano, mud pools and craters. You can warm up with a dip in the Mývatn Nature Baths.

Essentially, the more days you have to spend in Iceland then the more you will get to experience. In winter you’ll also increase your chances of spotting the northern lights!

Check out our blog for inspiration on how many days to spend in Iceland .

6. What are the best things to do in Iceland?

Iceland may be small, but it packs a punch with its wild scenery, intriguing culture and mind-boggling natural wonders. Here are some of the top things to do in Iceland :

• Marvel at waterfalls
• Hike in national parks
• Dip in hot springs and pools
• Hunt for the northern lights
• Walk along black sand beaches
• Taste Icelandic cuisine
• Admire glacier lagoons
• Venture into ice caves or lava tunnels
• Learn about Icelandic legends
• Look for whales and puffins
• See geothermal wonders and volcanoes
• Go horse riding  

Read more on our blog about the best Iceland tours to add to your itinerary .

7. What’s the best way to travel in Iceland?

The best way to explore Iceland depends on what you wish to do and how flexible you’d like the tours to be.

Iceland self-drive packages are ideal if you want to set the pace and travel independently. On a road trip, you can take your time discovering top sights and explore off the beaten track. You also have more flexible timings and the freedom to go further afield for excursions and restaurants.

Another excellent way to travel is with a knowledgeable guide and a small group of fellow travellers. Nordic Visitor’s escorted group tours of Iceland give you the opportunity to learn from a local. They’ll take you to each attraction and share their knowledge and favourite spots.

Nordic Visitor only organises small minibus tours with a maximum of 16 people. This ensures you have a more relaxed and personal experience compared to large coach trips. This is a popular choice for our many solo guests and for those who don’t feel comfortable driving.

If you want something exclusive and would prefer to travel alone or with friends or family members, then choose from our privately guided tours of Iceland . You’ll have a local guide all to yourselves for a more personal experience.

Or you could pick an Iceland multi-day package : a city stay with quality-tested accommodation and activities arranged each day. You’ll get to enjoy guided excursions with local experts, but then have free days to explore on your own.

If you want more information, contact our Iceland team and they will help you decide which travel style would suit you best.

8. Who are Nordic Visitor’s Iceland travel experts?

Nordic Visitor is proud to be a local tour operator in Iceland. Reykjavík – the capital city – is where we are headquartered, and it is where the company was founded in 2002. Our Iceland travel agents are based here and have extensively explored the country.

You’ll be assigned a dedicated travel consultant who will use their in-depth knowledge to arrange your Iceland tour for you. They’ll share personal recommendations and can customise your itinerary to match your particular interests.

If you need to change your travel dates, we'll rearrange all your tour details in one place, so you have a hassle-free experience.

Read our Book with Confidence terms to find out the details and see how you can have peace of mind with risk-free, flexible booking.

If you do not have cancellation insurance with us, normal booking terms apply and we recommend you check with your private travel insurance provider.

11. Why use Nordic Visitor instead of booking everything myself?

At Nordic Visitor, we’ll save you time and effort by planning your getaway for you, based on your needs and requests.

When you arrange your trip yourself, you have to carry out all the research and book all parts of your tour separately. If you need to make changes to your itinerary, you have to do all the legwork yourself.

Nordic Visitor takes care of everything on your behalf so you can relax and look forward to your trip.

Our travel experts will design your route, planned in a way that’s both comfortable and convenient. For example, they’ll ensure you don’t cover the same stretch of road twice unnecessarily. They’ll also book you into high-quality accommodation, and share all their insider tips with you.

This means you can leave all the hassle of trip-planning to the experts, who are based in Iceland. They know the country inside out, so you can rely on them to incorporate the best sights and hidden gems that you wouldn’t otherwise know about.

What’s more, you get access to our 24/7 helpline during your trip. Should you need any support, we are only a call away. And if you need to make changes to your itinerary for any reason, you can leave all of that to us as well.

12. Do I need a visa to go to Iceland?

Fortunately, if you’re arriving from Canada, the United States, United Kingdom, Australia or New Zealand, you will not need a visa to visit Iceland. You must have a valid passport with at least 3 months left before it expires.

If you’re visiting from outside of these countries, you will need to apply for a Schengen visa to enter Iceland. This is a short-stay visa that permits you to travel to Schengen Area member countries for up to 90 days.

Read more about getting to Iceland on our travel guide.

13. What sort of accommodation will I stay in?

Having a clean, comfortable and friendly place to lay your head after an exciting day of exploring Iceland is really important. That’s why we use our in-depth local knowledge to handpick the most suitable accommodation in Iceland for you.

The hotels and guesthouses you will experience on your Iceland tour are all highly rated by visitors. Our local experts have carefully selected each accommodation partner for their exceptional standards of quality, location and character.

As our Iceland travel team is based locally, we have close connections with our suppliers and we visit them regularly. This is why we are confident that the accommodation on your trip with us will meet or even exceed your expectations.

14. Will Nordic Visitor customise my Iceland tour?

Yes, it’s easy to make customisations to your tour online. Add extra nights, upgrades and day trips to your liking as you go through the booking steps. If you’d like to personalise your itinerary further, be sure to ask your dedicated travel consultant.

They will happily tailor your tour to suit your tastes and preferences. You may have particular interests, such as northern lights, hiking, photography or wildlife. Perhaps there are certain places that hold special significance to you.

If you’re visiting Iceland with kids , your personal consultant will make sure every part of your itinerary is suitable for the whole family. Or if you’re on a honeymoon or anniversary trip in Iceland , they’ll gladly add romantic touches to make your couples break extra special.

Most of our travel styles are flexible. But bear in mind that small group packages are a little different, as you are on a fixed itinerary for the duration of the guided tour. However, you can add extra nights to the beginning or end of your trip.

15. Can I choose the arrival date?

You can choose from a wide range of arrival dates depending on the package and season you are interested in. All of our tours are available to purchase online, so pick the best date for you from the availability calendar.

If your travel plans have changed and you want to amend your arrival date, contact your travel consultant to rearrange your booking.

16. Will Nordic Visitor book my flights to Iceland?

Your flights to Iceland are not included in our packages. This gives you greater flexibility and allows you to save money by using your airline miles or taking advantage of airfare sales.

17. When should I book my flight tickets?

We recommend that you check flights for timings and dates, but do not purchase them until you’ve booked your Nordic Visitor tour. Once you’ve had a confirmation email from your personal travel consultant, you should then choose and pay for your flights.

Nordic Visitor packages come with daily itineraries and all of your accommodation organised for you. So once you have all of the arrangements confirmed, you can make an informed choice on your flight times. If you have any questions, you can always contact your consultant for advice.

18. What to pack for Iceland?

Due to its northerly location, Iceland’s climate is cool. And as you’ll probably want to spend time outdoors on your trip, it’s best to be prepared for all kinds of weather.

Here’s our recommended packing list for Iceland :

• Walking boots or shoes with good grip
• Waterproof jacket and trousers
• Insulated jacket
• Woollen or fleece jumpers
• Thermal base layers
• Warm hat, scarf and gloves
• Warm hiking socks
• Quick-drying travel towel

La Nostra Islanda

Island tours.

Oltre vent’anni fa  Guðrún Sigurðardóttir ha fondato Island Tours in Italia e iniziato a proporre viaggi in Islanda, la sua patria. Allora l’Islanda non era molto conosciuta come meta turistica e pochi viaggiatori sceglievano di visitarla per turismo. Guðrún è stata fra i primi a proporre tour di gruppo in Islanda con guida in italiano e ha arricchito man mano la proposta di viaggio con fly & drive individuali e viaggi scoperta . Da quegli anni l’Islanda ha investito molto nel turismo, le strutture ricettive ed i voli si sono moltiplicati ed il paese è raggiungibile più facilmente. Il viaggio in Islanda, che una volta richiedeva spirito di adattamento, oggi è in linea con standard di qualità e soddisfa le aspettative di un maggior numero di viaggiatori.

Nel tempo Island Tours è divenuto un tour operator di riferimento sull’Islanda , grazie alla sapiente costruzione di un team di esperti. Ognuno di noi ha approfondito la propria conoscenza dell’Islanda, della natura, del popolo, la cultura e la storia, e ha viaggiato in lungo e in largo il paese collezionando l’esperienza necessaria per proporre il viaggio al meglio in base ai molteplici personali interessi dei propri clienti. Continuiamo ad investire molto tempo e risorse per mantenerci aggiornati sulle novità islandesi.

Prenota con noi

Chi sceglie di viaggiare con noi ha il grande vantaggio di affidarsi  ad un’agenzia specializzata sull’Islanda;  il nostro team  è a vostra  completa  disposizione per analizzare  i vostri interessi  e proporvi la  migliore  soluzione , tour di gruppo o  viaggio individuale.  In entrambi i casi i viaggi sono organizzati direttamente da noi , senza intermediari.  

I documenti di viaggio

Chi ha scelto la libertà del Fly & Drive riceverà tutta la documentazione necessaria per il viaggio . Non dovrete acquistare nulla. Avrete una guida turistica, una cartina stradale e le nostre indicazioni dettagliate sul percorso, le opportunità di visita ed i suggerimenti per gli approfondimenti. Anche coloro che hanno preferito un nostro tour di gruppo riceveranno la guida turistica e l’itinerario di viaggio con tutte le indicazioni delle tappe del tour.

In viaggio con gli Specialisti d'Islanda

Vi accompagneremo anche durante il viaggio. Durante il vostro viaggio sarà attivo un numero di emergenza per la nostra assistenza 24h in caso di necessità. Chi viaggia con un tour di gruppo sarà in compagnia delle nostre esperte guide locali , con noi da molti anni, che conoscono in approfonditamente la natura, la cultura, la storia e la vita del proprio paese.

Etica di viaggio

La cura che poniamo nel nostro lavoro non si limita all’attenzione nella costruzione del viaggio. L’Islanda è un paese di rara bellezza, con una natura selvaggia affascinante, ma molto fragile. Crediamo fermamente che un turismo consapevole debba nascere prima di tutto dal rispetto del paese che si visita. Da sempre cerchiamo di rispettare quest’idea nel programmare le nostre proposte di viaggio e nel sensibilizzare i nostri viaggiatori sulle fragilità della nostra destinazione, fornendo le giuste indicazioni per il rispetto dell’ambiente tramite un approccio responsabile!

• Cosa vedere

Tour di 10 giorni in Islanda

10 giorni sono sufficienti per scoprire la maggior parte delle principali attrazioni turistiche dell'Islanda . Organizza il tuo viaggio lungo la Ring Road e scopri le tappe imperdibili di qualsiasi  itinerario in Islanda !

L'Islanda è una fonte inesauribile di luoghi meravigliosi e potrebbe essere percorsa per un mese senza sosta. Tuttavia, spesso il tempo e il budget a disposizione sono limitati, fattore che ci obbliga a stabilire un numero determinato di giorni per visitarla.

Sebbene la risposta a questa domanda dipenda da molti fattori, come il clima e i gusti personali, uno degli itinerari più comuni è un tour di 10 giorni della Ring Road con un' auto a noleggio .

Giorno 1: Reykjavík

Il primo giorno di tour lo potrete dedicare all'esplorazione della capitale islandese e all'acclimatazione all'atmosfera nordica del paese.

A seconda dell'orario di arrivo del vostro volo all' Aeroporto Internazionale di Keflavík , potrete inaugurare il vostro viaggio approfondendo la storia dell'Islanda e il suo patrimonio nel Museo Nazionale d'Islanda  e al  The Settlement Exhibition , entrambi situati in centro a Reykjavík .

Se non riuscite a trovarli aperti, in quanto seguono un orario di apertura alquanto limitato , potrete optare per una piacevole passeggiata nel centro storico di Reykjavík, durante la quale avrete modo di osservare alcuni dei principali punti di interesse: il  lago Tjörnin , l' Althing , la Cattedrale Luterana  o il Porto Vecchio .

Da qui, potrete camminare fino al Sólfar , la scultura più famosa della città, e da lì raggiungere la Hammgrímskirkja , simbolo di Reykjavík, e salire sulla torre per godere della miglior vista panoramica della capitale islandese . Per concludere la giornata, che ne dite di un po’ di shopping a Laugavegur e una bella cenetta in uno dei ristoranti della zona?

Giorno 2: Cerchio d'Oro e cascate del sud dell'Islanda

Il secondo giorno di escursione lascerete la capitale islandese per raggiungere Thingvellir , prima tappa del Cerchio d’Oro . Dopo aver percorso gli impressionanti paesaggi che fanno da sfondo alla serie di Game of Thrones , dovrete guidare per circa un’ora verso Geysir , uno dei luoghi più sorprendenti della geografia islandese .

Qui, oltre ai piccoli fiumiciattoli di acqua bollente, potrete ammirare il geyser Strokkur , attualmente il più attivo della zona! Pensate un po’: i suoi getti di acqua bollente possono raggiungere i 30 metri di altezza! Da qui, un breve tragitto in macchina vi permetterà di raggiungere la cascata di Gullfoss , una delle più famose di tutta l’Islanda.

Dopo aver contemplato Gullfoss in tutto il suo splendore, sarà il turno delle cascate della costa sud dell’Islanda : Seljalandsfoss e Skógafoss . Quale sarà la vostra preferita? Difficile scegliere!

Infine, vi consigliamo di fare una sosta a Vík í Mýrdal  (particolarmente consigliata per l’ ampia offerta di hotel ), più concretamente alla spiaggia nera di Reynisfjara , dove avrete modo di ammirare un paesaggio completamente diverso rispetto a quelli finora contemplati.

Giorno 3: Skaftafell, ghiacciaio Vatnajökull e Jökulsárlón

Il modo migliore per inaugurare la giornata è senza dubbio un itinerario di trekking al ghiacciaio Vatnajökull . Durante il percorso, potrete lasciarvi sorprendere dal gelido paesaggio circostante e dalle incredibili dimensioni del ghiacciaio: Vatnajökull , infatti, occupa quasi il 10% di tutto il territorio islandese ! Incredibile, no?

Una volta esplorata quest’incredibile distesa di ghiaccio, sarà giunto il momento di scoprire la bellezza paesaggistica del Parco Nazionale di Skaftafell . Si tratta di una tappa ideale per tutti gli amanti della natura, poiché può essere visitato mediante una serie di sentieri che vi condurranno verso luoghi di rara bellezza, come Svartifoss , la cascata nera più famosa dell’Islanda .

Dopo aver percorso la Ring Road  in senso antiorario, l’ultima tappa della giornata sarà Jökulsárlón . Gli enorme iceberg galleggianti che sboccano nella Spiaggia dei Diamanti , infatti, costituiscono senza dubbio una delle immagini più tipiche del sud-est dell’Islanda .

Conclusa la visita della laguna, vi consigliamo di fare un salto ad Höfn , una delle località più grandi della zona, dove potrete trovare facilmente un hotel economico .

Giorno 4: Seyðisfjörður, Borgarfjörður Eystri e Dettifoss

La giornata di oggi prevede parecchi chilometri a bordo della vostra macchina a noleggio. Dovrete guidare lungo la Ring Road fino a Egilsstaðir, dove imboccherete una strada secondaria che vi condurrà a Seyðisfjörður . Non a caso, questa meravigliosa strada ha fatto da location a film come "I sogni segreti di Walter Mitty"!

Una volta giunti a destinazione, vi consigliamo di ricaricare le pile in uno dei ristoranti tradizionali della zona e fare una passeggiata in una delle località più belle dell’Islanda . Da qui, vi sposterete in direzione di Borgarfjörður Eystri , un vero e proprio paradiso per l’ avvistamento di fratercule . In questa piccola località islandese, infatti, avrete modo di osservare da vicino questi simpatici uccelli, oggi divenuti una delle icone del paese.

La tappa seguente dipenderà dalle condizioni meteorologiche e dalla vostra auto a noleggio , poiché si tratta di una strada di difficile accesso. Se disponete di un fuoristrada e la strada è aperta al transito, Dettifoss sarà senza dubbio la cascata più bella che vedrete nel nord dell’Islanda .

L’ultima tappa della giornata avrà luogo nel Lago Mývatn . Qui, nella località di Reykjahlid o in altre adiacenti, troverete un’ampia offerta di hotel e alloggi , così come altri servizi utili.

Giorno 5: Lago Mývatn

Dedicherete la quinta giornata di tour in Islanda all’esplorazione della regione del Lago Mývatn . L’ordine delle visite non è importante, poiché tutte le attrazioni turistiche della zona sono vicine fra loro. In particolare, vi consigliamo di visitare Leirhnjúkur , Hverir , Dimmuborgir , Grjótagjá  e Hverfjall .

Per concludere al meglio il vostro tour della regione, potete concedervi un bel bagno rilassante nelle acque termali del Lago Mývatn .

Giorno 6: Húsavik, Goðafoss e Akureyri

La prima tappa prevista per la sesta giornata di tour è Húsavík , località ideale per l’ avvistamento di balene in Islanda . Qui, oltre ad osservare questi affascinanti cetacei, potrete lasciarvi sedurre dal fascino della località e visitare il museo municipale dedicato alle balene della zona.

Più tardi, partirete in direzione sud per raggiungere Goðafoss , la cascata degli dei , considerata una delle più belle dell’Islanda. Da qui, potrete imboccare la Ring Road per raggiungere Akureyri , considerata la capitale del nord del paese .

Giorno 7: Trollaskagi e Stykkishólmur

Durante il settimo giorno di tour vi allontanerete momentaneamente dalla Ring Road per scoprire la costa della Penisola di Trollaskagi . La zona è famosa non solo per gli incredibili paesaggi che la contraddistinguono, ma anche per le pittoresche località che la caratterizzano, come Siglufjörður .

Prima di riprendere la Ring Road , vi cimenterete nell’esplorazione di luoghi come Hofsós , famosa per le sue splendide sorgenti termali, e Hólar, che accoglie la chiesa di pietra più antica del paese. Più tardi, potrete fare una seconda deviazione in direzione di  Hvítserkur , un’enorme roccia negra situata nel cuore della costa islandese.

Infine, vi addentrerete nella Penisola di Snaefellsness per raggiungere Stykkishólmur , luogo ideale in cui pernottare .

Giorno 8: Penisola di Snæfellsnes

La giornata inizierà con la visita di Stykkishólmur , una delle località più pittoresche di tutta l’Islanda. Darete quindi il via al tour di Snaefellsnes con una sosta a Kirkjufell , uno degli scorci più fotografati del paese.

Successivamente, dopo aver percorso il perimetro del ghiacciaio Snaefellsjökull , raggiungerete due dei paesaggi più sorprendenti della penisola: la spiaggia di Djúpalónssandur e le scogliere di Arnarstapi .

L’ultima tappa prima di fare ritorno a Stykkishólmur sarà Ytri Tunga , una spiaggia che, a primo impatto, può sembrare come le altre… Ma che, probabilmente, costituisce il luogo migliore per l’ avvistamento di foche in Islanda . Con l’aiuto della bassa marea e con un po’ di fortuna, potrete vederle distese nelle rocce della costa.

Giorno 9: Borgarnes, Hraunfossar e Reykjavík

La prima tappa dell’itinerario previsto per il nono giorno di tour sarà The Settlement Center . Il museo, situato nella pittoresca località di Borgarnes, è il modo ideale per scoprire la storia islandese in una maniera dinamica e divertente.

L’ultima tappa prima di fare ritorno a Reykjavík sarà Hraunfossar , una delle cascate più sorprendenti del paese in quanto l’acqua sembra sgorgare direttamente dalla lava.

Una volta fatto ritorno a Reykjavík, potrete riposare, passeggiare per le strade della città e darvi allo shopping last-minute.

Giorno 10: Laguna Blu - Reykjavík

Potrete approfittare dell’ultimo giorno del vostro soggiorno in Islanda per cimentarvi in alcune delle esperienze che non siete riusciti a realizzare all’inizio del vostro tour, come avvistare le balene dal Porto Vecchio o fare il bagno nella Laguna Blu .

Inoltre, se il tempo a disposizione ve lo consente, potrete visitare alcuni dei musei più interessanti di Reykjavík , come il Árbæjarsafn o il Perlan , interamente dedicato alla natura islandese .

Per raggiungere l’ aeroporto di Keflavík , potete scegliere fra diverse opzioni: taxi , autobus , servizio di transfer o persino un’ auto a noleggio , poiché tutte le aziende di noleggio hanno una sede in aeroporto.

Avete ancora tempo a disposizione?

Se avete più tempo a disposizione e preferite realizzare un tour in Islanda di 15 giorni o più, potete includere nell’itinerario alcuni luoghi più remoti e di difficile accesso, come Vestmannaeyjar o i Fiordi Occidentali . La possibilità di avvistare le pulcinelle di mare nel loro habitat naturale o scoprire luoghi di incredibile bellezza, come Látrabjarg o la cascata Dynjandi , infatti, vale totalmente un eventuale prolungamento del vostro soggiorno in Islanda!

Come arrivare

The easiest way to organise a visit to the Falkland Islands is to contact our local tour operator, Falkland Islands Holidays . The longest established tour operator in the Falkland Islands with a wealth of knowledge and experience of the Islands. Providing a professional and personal service with tailor-made itineraries including wildlife, walking/hiking, photography, fishing, battlefield and general interest. Choose from one of their recommended holiday itineraries or have your holiday tailored to your personal requirements.

Falklands Islands Holidays caters for individuals and small groups travel.  Holiday Itineraries can be arranged from 8 days, they will coordinate and book your internal flights, transfers, accommodation and guided tours.   Everything is organised for you, so you can just relax and enjoy your stay, knowing all your holiday arrangements are in place, with the reassurance that they are based in Stanley and are easily contactable during the duration of your visit.

Discussing your ideas with on-the-ground experts means you can create your perfect trip, then relax knowing everything will be organised for you. Falkland Islands Holidays will make all the arrangements necessary for accommodation and transport around the Islands, including a meet-and-greet on arrival at Mount Pleasant International Airport to set you on your way.

For those who would rather book closer to home, many international operators offer holidays in the Falklands. Some focus on exclusive tours of the Islands including niche offerings such as a photography, wildlife or war itinerary. Others offer the Falklands as part of a wider package with South America or Antarctica, particularly as a stop-off or two from a cruise vessel.

Choose carefully, remembering that for land-based tours there are three flight routes to the Islands, with LATAM via Santiago in Chile or Sao Paulo in Brazil, or on a Ministry of Defence (MOD) operated flight from Brize Norton in Oxfordshire, UK. Travelling via South America may provide the opportunity to add-on other holiday experiences. The MOD option has only a short re-fuelling stop. Alternatively, a visit by  cruise  will give you a flavour of the Falklands and hopefully the taste for more!

Discover the best tour companies in Iceland. Read this article to know what to look for in choosing the tour operator that will handle your trip to Iceland. Learn about their most exciting tours , from sightseeing to adventure experiences.

Iceland is one of the most popular destinations in the world. Thanks to its diverse landscapes, natural attractions, and rich culture, nearly a million travelers visit Iceland yearly.

When exploring Iceland, most visitors book organized tours from tour operators and travel agencies rather than make DIY trips. These organized tours can help save time and provide itinerary options even before you arrive in the land of fire and ice.

For example, suppose you want to visit the Golden Circle of Iceland or go  boating at the Jokulsarlon glacier lagoon . The best tour operators in Iceland can give you an easy and convenient experience. Their impeccable services and extensive experience can transform a visit to these locations into an unforgettable Icelandic holiday.

Choosing a tour operator that will handle your travel activities can make or unmake your Icelandic holiday. That’s why it’s essential to research the tour company and its products before finalizing your booking.

What makes a tour provider the perfect match for your travel needs? You can search the web for blogs and articles about this question, but you’ll probably get unlimited or overwhelming answers.  To save you from the trouble of extensive research online, we have listed five recurring factors to consider when choosing a tour provider in Iceland or anywhere else.

Does your tour operator have positive reviews online? You can start selecting the best tour operator by knowing if they have a good reputation in handling tour packages. Most tour companies have an online presence you can check through search engines and social media.

Search engines like Google display review ratings of tour companies from unique users who had prior transactions with them. Apart from the five-star rating you can base on, you can also view the comments by users for specific details of their tour experiences.

How many years has the tour company been operating? In most cases, those with long years of operation in the travel industry have more expertise in running excursions.

If you have saved up months of your salary for this travel, you may not want to gamble your Icelandic dream holiday on a company with less than a year of operation. 

How much are the operator’s tour products compared to their competitors? Pricing or budgeting is a vital part of every traveler’s vacation planning. Before booking a product, consider comparing the price with other companies offering a similar experience.

Pricing for tours in Iceland varies widely depending on the duration, type of activity, and the number of participants. Sightseeing tours are typically cheaper than activity tours like skiing and glacier hiking, in the same way that group tours are more affordable than private tours.

In addition, the best tour operators in Iceland have detailed tour descriptions where you can read the inclusions of each tour product. For example, a tour product should include a guide and entrance fees to attractions. Meanwhile, your tour package must include accommodations for multi-day tours in Iceland .

Tour Vehicles 

What vehicles are used for tours in Iceland? 

Tour providers in Iceland use different types of vehicles for their packages, depending on the kind of activity and number of participants. 

Private tours typically use private cars, super jeeps, and minibusses for their packages. This setup is ideal for those who want a more personalized experience with a better pace and privacy.

On the other hand, tours with a bigger number of joiners use large buses to transport travelers to specific destinations. The buses can accommodate at least 30 passengers and up. This setup is standard for sightseeing tours in the  Golden Circle and the South Coast . 

Do the tour guides speak English? Do they know other languages?

A tour guide is one of the most significant parts of any tour experience. They can either make your adventure more fun or forgettable.

A reliable tour operator in Iceland has local tour guides that are friendly and knowledgeable. They know the elements of your tour at the back of their hands even when not holding a brochure. They will tell you trivia, stories, and folklore about the attractions you’re exploring.

In most cases, the guides can speak English to accommodate foreign travelers. Sometimes, other guides can even speak different languages like French, German, Spanish, Chinese, and more. You can verify this when checking out a tour product and website or by asking the tour operator directly.

To help you plan your trip to Iceland, below is a list of 25 tour companies we consider the best in Iceland based on the five factors mentioned above. These operators are ranked and arranged based on their 5-star ratings, reviews, and quality of tours from the lowest to the highest.

Whether you’re interested in exploring Reykjavik , geothermal bathing at the Blue Lagoon , or hunting for the northern lights , these top 25 tour companies in Iceland have something to offer that will match your travel cravings.

The photography tours of Iurie Belegurschi has a 5/5 star rating from different travelers and photographers globally. These adventures are ideal for professional photographers and beginners who love natural landscapes. During the workshop, you’ll learn the best techniques, tips, and camera configurations in photography straight from an expert.

Apart from the lessons, joining Iceland Photo Tours will let you enjoy sightseeing in the most beautiful parts of Iceland. For example, on this eight-day summer photography workshop in Iceland and this four-day northern lights photo tour , you can see stunning waterfalls, black sand beaches, ice caves, glaciers, and a glacier lagoon.

These tours include accommodations, breakfast on most packages, and transfers to and from Reykjavik.

The Andaman Islands were amazing - however, the service that was provided was poor. Transfers weren't there on 5 occasions - I had to call and chase and on one of these occasions I was told that the driver had to leave and someone else was waiting for us. That person wasn't with the company, just a friend who was doing someone a favour and we had to get in his car with him and his friend. Our two final nights in Port Blair were in two different hotels and the second hotel was dirty and rundown. The itinerary details the light and sound show - which has not been operating for more than 5 months and a visit to a museum that was closed (as it always is on a Monday.) No replacements were offered. Our trip to Elephant beach on Havelock was cancelled due to weather - these things happen but the person calling 10 minutes before we were due to be picked up said "stay at the hotel". When I pushed for an alternative we had to wait for an hour to be collected to be taken to the beach we had been to the day before. And were made to feel that they were doing us a favour by providing transport that we should have used that day anyway. The worst part was on the first day - after initially not being met at the airport when we arrived, we were transferred to the hotel and told we were being taken at 14:00 on the city tour (to the closed museum and the not operating light and sound show!). The driver was late and I called the number we were given but they didn't answer. When he did arrive we did the shortened version of the tour and he dropped us back at the hotel at 16:15 saying that our tour manager would bring us the details in 30 minutes and we should wait at the hotel. More than 3 hours and about 5 calls later someone finally arrived with our "welcome" information and ferry tickets for the next day. We had been waiting in the hotel for more than 3 hours - this pack should have been given to us when we arrived so we could have planned our day given that we had been awake since 2:30am and that we were being picked up at 6am the next morning. We booked this trip with MTA however the services were sub-contracted to Best Andaman Deal. During the 3 hour on the first day, I contact MTA and although they called and said someone was on the way I never heard from them again. I was then dealing with the manager at Best Andaman Deal and his response "You are trying to fault in everything". I have travelled a lot and used lots of tour companies - this is definitely the worse I have used. I have travelled in India about 12 or 15 times both solo and with a tour and decided to use an agent because of the remoteness of the Andaman Islands. But the service made nothing easier - in fact they caused me more inconvenience than if I had organised everything myself. If you are planning to go to the Andaman Islands then you do not need the "help" of this service.
