Is it safe in Iceland?

Yes! Iceland is one of the safest countries on Earth . Thanks to its extremely low crime rate and excellent healthcare system, you can relax and enjoy your vacation with peace of mind.

Around the country, you’ll see children left to their own devices to happily play outside or walk to school by themselves. Iceland is a fantastic place for kids to run wild, totally carefree! This means that the country is a great destination for a family trip.

Is Iceland expensive?

Iceland has a reputation as a pricey destination, but it doesn’t have to be! One trick to save money is to book an Iceland vacation package. That way, you don’t have to organize everything yourself either.

When you book a package with Iceland Tours, you get great value for money. All of our vacations to Iceland include:

• Transport and accommodation
• Detailed itinerary made by local travel experts
• Free Wi-Fi in your car or on your bus
• Access to our 24/7 helpline when you’re in Iceland
• Breakfast every day (excluding camping trips)

If you choose an Iceland adventure package , you’ll also get activities like ice cave tours and lava caving built into the price. And Christmas and New Year packages even include some evening meals.

For more tips on how to save money on your trip, see this Iceland budgeting guide .

How many days do you need for an Iceland trip?

There’s no set number of days for a vacation to Iceland. Trips of different lengths will give you totally different experiences!

With 3–5 days in Iceland, you can base yourself in Reykjavík and join day tours to the Golden Circle or south coast . You’ll be able to see the top highlights of Icelandic nature and explore the city in the evenings.

If you spend around a week in Iceland, you could focus on touring a specific region in depth. For example, follow the south coast all the way to Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon . Or head over to West Iceland and the Snæfellsnes peninsula .

This amount of time would also be enough for a Ring Road tour . That said, with 10–14 days in Iceland, you have the time to go slower and see more. As well as the Ring Road, you might want to include the lesser-visited Westfjords region .

With 2 weeks or more, you’ll have the time to see every part of the country, including the Westman Islands and highland interior.

What is the best month to visit Iceland?

The answer to this question depends on what you want to see! Iceland has tons to offer in summer and winter .

In the summer months of June , July , and August , days are longer and you can pack more into your itinerary. At the start of the season, you can see the midnight sun. Summer is the most popular time to visit, as the majority of attractions, as well as the highlands region, are open.

There’s more darkness in the winter months of November , December , January , and February . This provides the perfect backdrop for chasing down the Northern Lights . Winter’s also great for seeing Iceland’s frosty beauty.

If you want to visit at a quieter time of year, the spring shoulder season of March , April , and May is ideal. There’ll be fewer travelers about then, but still plenty to see! Toward the end of the season, Iceland is starting to turn green again.

The autumn shoulder season is September to October . While not as quiet as spring, it’s still more laid back than the summer. Winter hasn’t truly set in either, so most attractions are still fully open.

What kind of Iceland trips do you offer?

With Iceland Tours, you can choose from a whole bunch of travel styles. Our most popular are self-drive tours of Iceland , where you take the wheel of your own rental car. On a road trip, you can stop as often as you like and go wherever your heart takes you.

If you’d rather skip the driving, you can join a multi-day tour . You’ll stay in Reykjavík and take day trips by bus to different attractions out of town. If you want to take it up a level, you could go for a guided group tour . A dedicated local guide will lead your group around the country. A great way to make new travel buddies!

Alternatively, you could go for a private guided tour . Your very own driver-guide will use their expert knowledge of Iceland to show you all sorts of hidden gems.

At the other end of the scale are camping trips . You get a rental car and camping gear included, and you’ll sleep under the midnight sun. It’s harder to get much closer to nature than that.

Then there are day trips if you’re already in Iceland and want to add another experience to your itinerary.

Can I rent a car in Iceland?

To hire a rental car in Iceland, you’ll need to be at least 20 years old, or 23 years old for jeeps or vans. You’ll also need to have held your driver’s license for at least 1 year. To confirm the booking and pay your holding deposit, you’ll also need a credit card.

If you’re from the EU, United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, or New Zealand, you can drive in Iceland with your driver’s license from home.

For all the details, see our car rental page . And see our Travel Guide if you’re after tips on how to drive in Iceland .

What kind of accommodation do you offer?

For most travel styles, you can choose from 3 levels of accommodation:

• Budget – Guesthouses and country hotels, with shared bathrooms
• Comfort – Hotels or guesthouses of around 3 stars, with private bathrooms
• Quality – Hotels or guesthouses of around 4 stars, with private bathrooms

With some travel styles, you might have more limited options available. For example, we only offer Comfort or Quality accommodation on our private tours of Iceland .

If you go for a camping trip , guesthouse or hotel accommodation is included for the nights you spend in Reykjavík. For the nights when you’ll camp, we provide you with a tent, sleeping bags, and all the other gear you need.

For all our guesthouse and hotel stays, breakfast is always included no matter which level you pick. Get more info about places to stay on this Iceland accommodation guide .

Are flights included with your packages?

So that you get the best deal and most flexibility, we don’t include flights with our packages. Once you have a rough idea of when you want to travel, you can start searching for flights to Iceland.

Thanks to its location in the North Atlantic, Iceland is well served by direct flights from lots of European countries and North America. If you’re coming from further afield, you’ll probably need a connecting flight.

• Pay a 5% deposit to secure your trip

If you need help with your booking, use the live chat option on our website.

*Applies to self-drive and camping trips only.

Can I choose my travel dates?

For the following travel styles, you’re free to choose any start date you like:

• Self-drive tours
• Camping tours
• Multi-day tours
• Private tours

The itineraries for these tours are of a fixed length, but you can add extra days in Reykjavík at the start or end of your trip at checkout. That way you can make your Iceland vacation last even longer!

Guided group tours have fixed departures. That said, we have a large number of dates on offer, both in summer and winter. So you’re bound to find one that works for you.

Can I customize my Iceland vacation?

Absolutely! Depending on which travel style you choose, you have different customization options.

For self-drive Iceland trips, you can pick your accommodation type and rental car. You can also add bonus activities to fill up your spare time, and more nights in Reykjavík to the start or end of your trip.

For Iceland multi-day tours, you can pick your accommodation level and add some extra activities such as a trip to the Blue Lagoon (if it’s not already included in your package). Extra nights in Reykjavík are an option here too.

Other travel styles, like guided group tours of Iceland, might have more limited customization options due to the nature of the trip. You’ll be able to see all the options available to you at checkout.

Good to know: Although we can’t guarantee stays at specific hotels or guesthouses, we’ll always make sure that you get the standard of accommodation that you pay for. Read more about accommodation types .

If you’d like to make further customizations than those that are available to you at checkout, get in touch and we’d be happy to help. The additional charge for this service is €150. Just so you know, it might not be possible to accommodate further customizations during the summer season. See our terms and conditions for full details.

When should I book?

As a rule of thumb, it’s best to book at least a few weeks before you plan to travel. For availability reasons, we’re unable to book trips with less than 1 week’s notice.

For the summer season, it’s a good idea to book a few months ahead of when you plan to travel. This is the most popular time of year to visit Iceland and places to stay can be limited in more remote areas.

If you’re planning to join a guided group tour, we recommend booking a few months in advance. Departures are on fixed dates and the most popular ones can get booked up.

Do I need a passport or visa to travel to Iceland?

If you’re a citizen of the EEA, you can travel to Iceland using your passport or national identity card visa-free. Otherwise, you’ll need a valid passport with at least 3 months left on it before expiry.

Citizens of many countries including the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand can travel to Iceland for up to 90 days visa-free. Check the Icelandic Directorate of Immigration’s visa-free travel list to find out if you’re eligible.

If you do need a visa, let us know once we’ve confirmed your booking and we can send you a confirmation letter for your visa application.

What should I pack for my trip to Iceland?

As its name suggests, Iceland can be quite a chilly country! That said, it’s warmer than many parts of the world on a similar latitude.

Of course, it pays to come prepared. So here’s a list of everything you should pack for an Iceland trip:

• Sturdy, comfortable hiking boots
• Thermal underlayers
• Fleece or sweater
• Waterproof rainjacket
• Warm winter coat
• Gloves, hat, and scarf
• Sunglasses (both in winter and summer)
• Swimming gear
• Moisturizer and lip balm

The main thing to keep in mind is the wind. Although it’s milder in the summer, wind is a constant fixture of the Icelandic weather. With plenty of layers and skincare products though, it shouldn’t get in the way of adventure!

Adventure into the Land of Fire and Ice

This small island packs a lot of wonder into every inch—you'll find fiery volcanos, crystalline waterfalls, and majestic glaciers on the land, and the iridescent glow of the Northern Lights each winter in the skies above. Discover Iceland's Viking past, and its warm and welcoming culture.

• Northern Lights

You'll have the best chance of catching the most amazing, all-natural light show if you travel to Iceland from late September to late March.

The capital's name, Reykjavik, literally means "cove of smoke," inspired by the steam coming from the natural hot springs.

• Skogar Folk Museum

Lush, green turf roofs (with an underlay of birch bark) were one of the most common roofing types throughout Scandinavia and Iceland—and offered plenty of insulation during the cold winter months.

Perlan Observatory

The Perlan Observatory offers spectacular views of Reykjavik and Iceland below—and the Northern Lights above.

• Reynisfjara Beach

The volcanoes that built Iceland also created its gorgeous black sand beaches—and the stone columns here, which legend has it were created by trolls.

Natural Springs

Iceland's abundant natural springs offer many opportunities for soaking and soothing.

• Blue Lagoon

The gorgeous Blue Lagoon isn't technically a natural hot spring--it was built in a volcanic lava field to harness the heat of the 100-degree, mineral-rich water from beneath the earth's surface.

Black Beach

The volcanoes that built Iceland also created its gorgeous black sand beaches.

Diamond Beach

Bits of glacial ice wash ashore on the black sands of Diamond Beach, looking like massive diamonds glittering on the ground.

Hot Springs

A plunge into an Icelandic spring is among the most restorative natural therapies you'll ever find.

• Secret Lagoon

The Secret Lagoon is a small, natural hot springs that became Iceland's first public swimming pool in the 19th century.

Skogafoss Falls

Rainbow seekers are often lucky enough to find double rainbows created in the mist that rises from theis waterfall's 200-foot-long drop.

• Thingvellir National Park

Thanks to the volatile volcanic forces still at play in the Land of Fire and Ice, Thingvellir National Park expands by nearly an inch each year.

Strokkur Geyser

Strokkur Geyser erupts every five to eight minutes, sending water and steam nearly 100 feet into the air.

5 Day - Snaefellsnes, South Coast and Northern Lights

Overall the guides and drivers were excellent - in their knowledge, driving safety, preparing the group for activities that were next on the list. The only down time during the day was some of the distances between stops. But not an issue as we were well aware of that before hand. A good value for the cost!!

• Coach / Bus

Iceland Express

Perfect opportunity to see the South of Iceland with ease. Margret was a great guide and everything ran perfectly. Most of all I met a wonderful group of people who I’m looking forward to keeping in touch with!

6 Day - Around Iceland Adventure

My husband and I were on our honeymoon on this trip, and we had an absolutely amazing time! TourRadar did a great job with communicating prior to our trip and answering any questions we had prior to our trip. We were also able to communicate with the tour company via the platform, which was very helpful. We got to visit so many amazing sites all around Iceland and made some amazing memories. The itinerary was well-developed and also allowed for some downtime. Our tour guide, Siggie, from Arctic Adventures also did an incredible job keeping us informed and making sure we had everything we needed. We were able to learn a lot and felt very welcomed.

10 Days Complete Iceland | Ring-Road, Snæfellsnes Peninsula & Roundtrip airport transfer (Group Tour)

A great trip and highly recommended!

Iceland Discovery

The tour was well designed - we saw a variety of places and enjoyed a wide range of activities. The van was a convenient means of transportation, but the seats in the back row were cramped, with less leg room than between the other rows, and on the long drives it became very uncomfortable. The accommodation was excellent in most places, with clean and airy rooms. Exception: the large guesthouse in Siglufjordur, where the standard of cleanliness was lower, and the faucet in our room sink was stiff and very hard to use. The food was fresh, healthy, and tasty in all places. Stefan was knowledgeable, helpful in all situations, responsive to our needs, and personable. He also announced and implemented seat rotation.

8 Day Around Iceland Summer Minibus Tour

Fabulous trip and I’ll recommend the mini bus tour with Troll to everyone! Our tour guide, Johann Kari was excellent and I can’t recommend him and Troll Expeditions enough!

Premium Iceland

8 Days Guided Iceland Circle

Iceland is an incredible country to visit and the time we spent there was priceless. We had a technical problem: due to the weather the flight to Reykjavík was cancelled and postponed to the following day. We announced the travel agency and they provided a taxi in order th catch the tour. Instead to have a transportation from the company we had to pay an additional 300euros regardless was not our fault for the delay. Maybe you should consider such situation in your program. Another observation is about the guide. He was totally disinterested on our existence, totally unprepared to be a guide with knowledge, also a little bit impolite and rude.

Iceland Escape

It was a great time. Everything was easily followed and organized well. Only drawback was the weather, and not being able to see the northern lights during our time. All things considered, will definitely be going back to Iceland.

Best of Iceland: Golden Circle & Snæfellsnes Peninsula

Culture and customs.

Similar to many other parts of Europe , Iceland has rules in place to help preserve its culture and geographic isolation is also a factor in developing and preserving the country’s cultural qualities. Independence, self-sufficiency and a strong work ethic – traits that allowed this northern island to flourish in challenging conditions – continue to be highly valued today.

Icelandic culture and customs are full of myths and legends, many with a connection to Christian and pagan values. Folk tales of elves, gnomes, fairies and trolls still circulate, and whether or not the locals continue telling these to unlock the secrets of the past, or simply in jest, they’re definitely worth listening to. But when news outlets report on road plans being changed to avoid disrupting an elfin church, it’s easy to believe that this unusual country and its magical landscapes are a product of what lies ‘hidden’ in its mysterious depths.

Today, Iceland is a highly modern and progressive society. It is consistently rated as having the smallest gender pay gap and strong LGBTQIA+ rights representation in the parliament and media. It’s also one of the greenest countries in the world, with almost all energy coming from renewable resources such as hydropower and geothermal.

History and government

Pre-modern history.

This island nation was settled by Vikings in the ninth century, with much of the early literature recognizing Norse sailor Ingolfur Arnason as the first settler of Iceland, founding Reykjavik in AD874 along with his wife and brother. Icelanders remain proud to this day of their Viking heritage. The Icelandic language, for example, is so similar to the Old Norse spoken during Viking times that Icelanders can still read and understand the original Icelandic sagas.

A book of settlements titled Landnamabok, compiled in the 12th century, documents the names and other details of nearly 400 original settlers of Iceland who arrived in the ninth and tenth centuries. The document tells of a Norse Viking called Floki who sailed to Iceland for fishing and farming, however, due to his livestock not surviving in the conditions, had to return to his home in Norway. After heading up a mountain and looking over a fjord full of sea ice, he named this land Iceland.

In AD930, an Icelandic General Assembly was established and was deemed a Christian settlement less than a century later. Settlers and slaves brought to Iceland by Scandinavians were of Irish and Norse descent, and although some still debate which communities influenced the identity we now know to be Icelandic, the first distinctive text documenting ‘Icelandic-ness’ is said to be a rule book of sorts – the First Grammatical Treatise.

20th century and today

After long periods under Norwegian and Danish rule, Iceland was recognized as a sovereign state in 1918. On 17 June 1944, Iceland became an independent republic. It has a multi-party parliamentary system and a written constitution. The parliament is still called Althingi after its medieval General Assembly.

Many of Iceland’s major industries stem from its location and surrounding natural resources. Tourism aside, fishing and seafood products make up much of the country’s exports and employ a majority of the workforce along with agriculture and farming. Recent investment in greenhouses and geothermal energy has seen Iceland become increasingly self-sufficient, growing products that usually do not fare well in icy climates, such as potatoes, tomatoes and potted plants. Other food is imported along with many consumer goods.

Eating and drinking

Flanked by the ocean and inhabited by almost twice the amount of sheep as humans, Iceland understandably boasts a cuisine dominated by seafood and local lamb.

The country’s diet relies on plenty of potatoes and lamb, but seafood trumps all – sourced fresh year-round from the waters of the North Atlantic and Arctic and prepared in a variety of ways. Be sure to try Hardfiskur – a salty fish jerky, best enjoyed buttered.

Sheep and cows are free-range and fed chemical-free diets, making lamb and dairy products exceptionally good here. One of the best ways to enjoy the produce on offer is to warm yourself up from the inside out with a hearty meat soup: a mixture of lamb, root vegetables, herbs, and rice.

Skyr, a popular yogurt that is technically a cheese, is also a must-try in all its variety of flavors. Eat it like the locals do at any time of the day – for breakfast, as a snack, as a dipping sauce, in drink form (called drykkur), or as a dessert topping.

Surprisingly, hot dogs are Iceland’s most iconic fast food. Widely available, a hot dog is probably the cheapest meal you’ll have in Iceland. Order one with all the toppings – sweet mustard, ketchup, raw onions, deep-fried onions, and aioli.

Rye bread (also known as rugbraud) and butter is a common side to most meals in Iceland, but the preferred way of cooking the loaves are quite unique. Traditionally, the bread is buried near a natural hot spring, sprinkled with sugar, and left to gently steam for up to 24 hours. The end result is dense, cake-like bread that has a slightly sweet taste. Enjoy it with a traditional Icelandic soup, smoked lamb, or, of course, fish.

Name a food and chances are Icelanders have tried to add licorice to it. Black licorice is beloved by locals and found in a wide range of desserts and candy bars. During your time here, head to Valdis in Reykjavik to test out a cone filled with salted black licorice ice cream. Even if the weather’s cold, the ice cream joints will be open!

The weird and wacky

Icelanders have a reputation for serving up some of the most unusual food in the world – boiled sheep’s head, fermented shark known as harkarl, ram testicles and smoked puffin to name a few. Although the country’s isolation and harsh winters once meant these foods were eaten out of necessity, today most of these ‘delicacies’ are only prepared to shock tourists. Try if you dare, but we suggest sticking to the common foods that locals eat.

Alcohol can be expensive in Iceland and is best bought at the duty-free shop. Although forms of prohibition existed until 1989, alcohol is now widely available all over the country in state-run liquor stores. If you’re feeling brave, try the local brew, Brennivin – a potent, traditional caraway-flavored schnapps nicknamed ‘black death’.

Iceland travel highlights

1. explore reykjavik.

Iceland's capital city is totally beguiling, surrounded by volcanic peaks and boasting a vibrant art and nightlife scene. Browse the city’s galleries, explore the colorful street art, dine on fresh lox (traditionally cured salmon),   or cycle to the striking cathedral of Hallgrimskirkja – trying to say that after a tipple or two of Brennivin (Iceland's signature spirit) might be tricky! Get stuck into Icelandic culture on our 6 day Northern Lights Escape .

2. Discover the Golden Circle

The Golden Circle is the holy trinity of southern Iceland. This 186-mile (300 km) route is brimming with natural wonders that showcase why so many travelers fall under Iceland's spell. Marvel at the layered cascades of Gullfoss Waterfall, explore the dramatic rift valley in Thingvellir National Park and witness the unpredictable eruptions in Geysir Geothermal Area. Marvel at breathtaking natural landscapes on our 5 day Iceland Express tour.

3. Cruise along Jokulsarlon

It's impossible not to be amazed by the sheer size and beauty of Jokulsarlon, Iceland’s famous glacial lagoon. Enjoy a boat tour along the icy waters where you'll cruise past towering glaciers and witness icebergs of all shapes, sizes and shades of blue drifting into the Atlantic Ocean. Cool down on our 8 day Iceland Discovery tour.

4. Experience life in Akureyri

Soak up the charm of this northern port city – the second-largest city in Iceland. Better described as a big town with lots of character, you'll be won over by its quaint turf homes, rich history and folklore, and the imposing Mount Súlur that looms over the town. Akureyri is also an ideal Northern Lights viewing location between September and April. Explore the streets of Akureyri on our 9 day Premium Iceland tour.

5. Be wowed by Westfjords

Venture off course to the unspoiled, untamed reaches of the Westfjords – without the big crowds. This is a land where mountains meet the sea most dramatically, where waterfalls tumble down into the inky fjords and puffins live along the towering cliffs. If you’re lucky and conditions allow, we might cruise along Látrabjarg (Europe’s largest bird cliff) to see puffins, razorbills, guillemots and more. Adventure through the Westfjords on our 14 day East Greenland and Iceland Northern Lights tour.

6. Bathe in the Blue Lagoon

There's no need to worry about being cold all the time in Iceland when you can slip into the famous Blue Lagoon just out of Reykjavik. Surrounded by black volcanic rock, a soak in the mineral-rich, milk-blue waters of this geothermal spa is the perfect way to relax and unwind after a big day of walking. 

Geography and environment

Iceland possesses some of the world’s most incredible natural wonders and unique landscapes. From active volcanoes to vast ice fields, bubbling hot springs and enormous glaciers, these dramatic contrasts have earned Iceland the nickname of the ‘Land of Fire and Ice’.

Many of these geological features are products of geographical location – on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates intersect and their movements away from each other create volcanic activity. The country is covered by moss-carpeted lava fields, soaring fjords, incredible waterfalls and dramatic geysers, all of which add to Iceland’s otherworldly look.

The country is also the perfect spot to see the Northern Lights. From September to March, you’ll have the best chance to view this spectacular natural light show when the skies are clear and auroral activity is high. But don’t let that stop you from visiting in other seasons – Iceland’s natural wonders are truly year-round attractions.

Top 4 natural phenomena of Iceland

1. Northern Lights

The Northern Hemisphere's Aurora Borealis has captivated and intrigued travelers for years. Any winter tour of Iceland absolutely must include a chance to see the Northern Lights. This natural light display that runs along magnetic fields often brings hypnotic green, yellow and red shades to the night sky in Iceland from September to March. As one of nature's most magnificent triumphs, this is one unforgettable spectacle.

2. Gullfoss

Otherwise known as Golden Falls, this spectacular three-tiered waterfall drops suddenly into a deep cavern. The falls are surrounded by lush, green countryside, and the rainbows created by the mist and spray provide brilliant photo opportunities.

3. Lake Myvatn

This part of northern Iceland was born from volcanic eruptions millions of years ago and continues to be shaped by volcanic activity to this day. The combination of strange lava formations, thermal caves and a sprawling lake dotted with craters and rising rocks makes for an eerie yet beautiful landscape.

4. Jokulsarlon

Literally translating to ‘glacial river lagoon’, this monumental glacier lake is the largest in Iceland. Featuring a parade of large and small blue icebergs floating on and under the pure, icy water, this lagoon is so beautiful that it has been used as a backdrop for Hollywood films, a set for reality television shows and in a starring role on a postage stamp!

Iceland is notorious for being an expensive destination. Travelling on a budget here is difficult but can be done. Head to Bonus – Iceland’s discount grocery store – so you can cook rather than eat out for each meal. The duty-free store at Keflavik International Airport is the best place to pick up a bottle of Icelandic alcohol such as Brennivin liquor, Reyka vodka or Viking Gold beer for a fraction of the price you’d find elsewhere. It’s also a good idea to travel as a group, as operators can get better rates than a single traveler at hotels and restaurants, plus they know all the local hotspots.

If you’d like to take home Icelandic local specialties, Reykjavik is the best place to shop. Some of the country’s coolest retailers can be found on Laugavegur, one of the oldest shopping streets. Here you can browse clothing from quirky local designers alongside traditional lambswool sweaters, as well as tourist shops selling plastic Viking hats and puffin magnets. For smaller boutiques selling local art, head to Skolavordustigur.

Festival and events

Despite the long and dark winters, Icelanders are among the happiest people in the world. Why? One reason is that they understand the importance of getting together and having a good time, even if it’s pitch black outside. There are many celebrations to join in on throughout the year, but here are a few to look out for:

Winter Lights Festival

Every year, buildings around Reykjavik light up at night to celebrate both the winter world and the growing light after a long period of darkness. The Winter Lights Festival uses many public buildings and all major museums and thermal pools to illuminate the city with lighting designs and art installations as a way to get people thawed out after a long winter.

This annual mid-winter feast in January or February is one of Iceland’s oldest festivals, dating back to Viking days. Fearless eaters can find restaurants in Reykjavik offering special Thorrablot dinners of boiled sheep’s head, rotten shark’s meat, and cured ram testicles. If you can, try to snag an invitation to a local’s house, where celebrations tend to be more festive and involve lots of singing, dancing, and drinking.

Viking Festival

Modern-day Vikings in traditional garb flock to Hafnarfjorour each June for a festival Leif Erikson would approve of. Swordfights, archery, axe throwing, a traditional market, concerts, and a proper Viking feast are all part of the festivities.

National Day

1944 marks the year that Iceland became a republic after an overwhelming majority of the citizens voted for independence. The deciding referendum took place between May 20 and 23 that year; however, Iceland’s National day is celebrated on June 17th – the birthday of the man who originally led the movement in the late 19th century, Jon Sigurdsson. There are parades all around the country, usually with brass bands and marching horses. Music food, fireworks, and street parties – you get it, they’re a patriotic bunch.

Dalvik Fiskidagurinn Mikli (The Great Fish Day)

Each August, the northern fishing village of Dalvik invites you to a free, all-you-can-eat fish and seafood buffet – held for no reason other than to get people together over a delicious meal. You might come for the free food, but you’ll stay for the company.

Iceland travel FAQs

Do i need a covid-19 vaccine to join an intrepid trip.

Trips from 1 January 2023 onwards

From 1 January 2023, Intrepid will no longer require travelers to provide proof of vaccination against COVID-19 (excluding all Polar trips and select adventure cruises).

However, we continue to strongly recommend that all Intrepid travelers and leaders get vaccinated to protect themselves and others.

Specific proof of testing or vaccination may still be required by your destination or airline. Please ensure you check travel and entry requirements carefully.

When is the best time to visit Iceland?

Deciding what you want to see in Iceland will give you a better idea of when is the best time to travel. Wanting to get active around the countryside and see waterfalls and wildlife? The warmer spring and summer months are probably ideal. Prefer to soak in the geothermal lagoons and get a chance to see the Northern Lights? Well, likely the cooler months – with their longer nights – are best for you.

Spring and summer are considered optimal times to visit Iceland if green landscapes and balmy days are your thing. The early spring months bring warmer days, while summer offers long daylight hours with only short nights. In the summer season, July and August are the warmest months and the busiest time for tourists.

In September, tourism tends to slow down as the weather becomes unpredictable and the countryside is usually less accessible. However, there are plenty of attractions for the off-peak traveler, including the beauty of fall colors and, of course, the awe-inspiring Northern Lights.

As you might expect, winters in Iceland can be challenging. During late December there are about four-and-a-half hours of daylight and it's often cloudy. In January, there are on average three sunny days in Reykjavík, with temperatures hovering around freezing point, often with chilling winds.

Do I need a visa to travel to Iceland?

Iceland is a member of the Schengen Convention, which means that if you travel to an EU member country or countries, like Iceland, for a total of less than 90 days, a visa is not required. Citizens of Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the US, the UK and other member countries of the EU and Schengen area are included under this arrangement. Other countries do require a visa to visit Iceland, including citizens of South Africa.

Visas are the responsibility of the individual traveler. Entry requirements can change at any time, so it's important that you check for the latest information. Please visit the relevant consular website of the country or countries you’re visiting for detailed and up-to-date visa information specific to your country of origin. Check the Essential Trip Information section of your tour itinerary for more information.

Is tipping customary in Iceland?

Tipping isn't expected in Iceland. Hotels, restaurants and cafes already include a service fee and consumption taxes (VAT) in the bill, so tipping extra isn't necessary. However, feel free to leave a small amount if your experience has been particularly good, especially for assistance provided by drivers, tour leaders or service workers.

What is the internet access like in Iceland?

Travelers will be able to access the internet in cybercafes and at wi-fi hotspots in Iceland's cities and large towns. Rural and remote areas may have less internet access, so be prepared when traveling away from the city.

Most accommodation and eateries in Iceland offer wi-fi access, which is usually free to use with a code. If you wish to stay connected for the majority of your trip, it may be wise to purchase a prepaid SIM card with a data package.

Many Icelandic libraries and tourist information offices have shared computers for public internet access if you are without a device to connect to wi-fi. Sometimes a small fee is charged for this service.

Can I use my cell phone while in Iceland?

Travelers can use their cell phones in Iceland's main cities and towns, though remote and isolated areas may have inferior cell reception.

If you wish to stay connected for the majority of your trip, it may be wise to purchase a prepaid SIM card for the duration of your journey. This will likely be the cheapest way to use your phone in Iceland.

For EU citizens, depending on who you have your phone plan with, you may be able to use your current SIM in Iceland – your service provider will be able to provide more details.

Global roaming can also be activated, but check with your service provider to find out about any fees you may incur, as sometimes this can be expensive.

What are the toilets like in Iceland?

Modern, flushable toilets are the standard in Iceland.

In terms of public toilets, Reykjavik and other major towns and cities have some, but along highways and at many tourist destinations – especially campgrounds and natural attractions – there is a lack of facilities. Expect to pay a small fee when visiting public toilets and, in busy months, expect queues in main tourist areas.

There have been recent occurrences of tourists resorting to other means in remote places and near tourist sites. We recommend being prepared and talking to your group leader if you have any concerns.

What will it cost for a…?

Iceland's unit of currency is the krona. Here's what you can expect to pay for a:

• Hotdog = ISK 400-600
• Glass of beer = ISK 1,100-1,500
• Simple lunch at a cafe = ISK 2,100-3.700
• Dinner in a restaurant = ISK 2.600-4.200

Can I drink the water in Iceland?

Tap water is considered safe to drink in Iceland unless marked otherwise. For environmental reasons, try to avoid buying bottled water. Fill a reusable water bottle or canteen with filtered water instead.

Are credit cards widely accepted in Iceland?

Credit cards are widely accepted in Iceland and are used frequently by locals to pay for just about anything. Paying with a credit card at shops, guesthouses, supermarkets, restaurants, cafes, and on taxi rides shouldn't present a problem. Iceland is almost a cashless society, so cards are the best option; however, a lot of payments will require your four-digit PIN, so be sure to know this before you leave home.

What is ATM access like in Iceland?

ATMs are usually easy to find in Iceland's cities and villages and generally accept most foreign cards.

What public holidays are celebrated in Iceland?

• 1 Jan: New Year's Day
• Mar/Apr: Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, Easter Monday*
• 1 May: Labur Day
• May/Jun: Ascension Day*
• May/Jun: Whit Sunday and Whit Monday*
• 17 Jun: National Day
• First Monday in August Commerce Day*
• 24 Dec: Christmas Eve
• 25 Dec: Christmas Day
• 26 Dec: Boxing Day
• 31 Dec: New Year's Eve

*Please note, Iceland public holidays may vary.

What is the weather like in Iceland?

Iceland’s temperatures are cool and do vary throughout the year. In winter months, minimum temperatures plummet to below freezing. In Reykjavik, summer temperatures average at around 52°F, while winter maximums are approximately 32°F. Rainfall is quite consistent throughout the year; between 25–50 mm per month, with most days experiencing some rainfall.

Is it safe to travel to Iceland?

Iceland is a very safe country to travel to and is one of the safest countries in the world.

Is Iceland safe for LGBTQIA+ travellers?

The people of Iceland have an open and accepting attitude to LGBTQIA+ communities, and Iceland is considered one of the world’s most LGBTQIA+ friendly countries. Since 2006, same-sex couples have had equal access to adoption and IVF, and in 2010 the Icelandic Parliament made a unanimous decision to define marriage as between two individuals. As might be expected in a small country, however, the gay scene is quite low-key, even in Reykjavik.

In 2012, more legislation was passed to formalize the name and identity-changing process for the needs of trans and genderqueer individuals. There is still a way to go to achieve full equality, but Iceland is, in many regards, leading the way globally.

For more detailed and up-to-date advice, we recommend visiting Equaldex or ILGA before you travel and reading more about the LGBTQIA+ culture in Iceland .

If you are traveling solo on an Intrepid group tour, you will share accommodation with a passenger of the same gender as per your passport information. If you don’t identify with the gender assigned on your passport, please let us know at the time of booking and we’ll arrange the rooming configuration accordingly. A single supplement is available on some tours for travellers who do not wish to share a room.

Is Iceland accessible for travelers with disabilities?

Intrepid is committed to making travel widely accessible, regardless of ability or disability. That’s why we do our best to help as many people see the world as possible, regardless of any physical or mental limitations they might have. We’re always happy to talk to travelers with disabilities and see if we can help guide them towards the most suitable itinerary for their needs and, where possible, make reasonable adjustments to our itineraries.

Because of its remote location and size, Iceland can prove difficult when it comes to accessibility for individuals with mobility issues. Some of the main sights, such as the Blue Lagoon, are wheelchair accessible, but many of the natural attractions have unpaved paths and unsteady terrain. Iceland has a dedicated information center,  Thekkingarmidstod Sjalfsbjorg , that provides up-to-date information on accessibility and accessible facilities in Iceland, as well as other related information.

If you do live with a visual, hearing, or other impairment, let your booking agent or group leader know early on so they’re aware and suitable arrangements can be made. As a general rule, knowing some common words in the local language, carrying a written itinerary with you, and taking to the streets in a group, rather than solo, can help make your travel experience the best it can be.

What to wear in Iceland

In summer, Iceland experiences cool but mild weather throughout the country, with maximum temperatures averaging around 55°F. It’s still important, however, to pack some warm clothing at this time, as temperatures at night can drop quite dramatically. In winter, some days barely reach over 32°F, so preparing for this is crucial. It can be wet and windy, and roads may be iced over, so thermal gear, a waterproof jacket and pants and sturdy walking boots are all highly recommended.

Do I need to purchase travel insurance before traveling?

Absolutely. All passengers traveling with Intrepid are required to purchase travel insurance before the start of their trip. Your travel insurance details will be recorded by your leader on the first day of the trip. Due to the varying nature, availability and cost of health care around the world, travel insurance is very much an essential and necessary part of every journey.

For more information on insurance, please go to: Travel Insurance

How will I be traveling around Iceland?

Intrepid believes half the fun of experiencing a new country is getting there, and getting around once there! Where possible, Intrepid uses local transport options and traditional modes of transport – which usually have less of an environmental impact, support small local operators and are much more fun.

Depending on what trip you're on in Iceland, you may find yourself traveling by:

All-terrain Unimog

To see all of Iceland, you’ll need some heavy-duty transport. This super-sized van will take you on glacier visits to admire these almighty ice caps up close.

Amphibian boat

Part truck, part boat, all adventure ­– cruise the Jokulsarlon glacial lagoon in a small group aboard one of these vessels, on land and lake.

What is it like traveling on a small group tour?

Whether you’re a seasoned traveler or you’re about to embark on your first trip, traveling can be as intimidating as it is exciting. That's the beauty of a small group tour. From handling the logistics and organizing amazing cultural activities to local leaders who know each destination like the back of their hand (like which street has the best markets and where to get the most authentic food), traveling on a small group tour with Intrepid will give you unforgettable travel experiences without the hassle that comes with exploring a new place. Plus, you'll have ready-made friends to share the journey with. All you have to do is turn up with a healthy sense of adventure and we’ll take care of the rest.

Does my Intrepid trip include airfare?

While our Intrepid trips include many modes of transport, from tuk-tuks to overland vehicles, bullet trains and feluccas, airfare to and from your home country is not included in your tour package.

Does my trip support The Intrepid Foundation?

Yes, all Intrepid trips support the Intrepid Foundation. Trips to this country directly support our global Intrepid Foundation partners, Eden Reforestation Projects and World Bicycle Relief. Intrepid will double the impact by dollar-matching all post-trip donations made to The Intrepid Foundation.

Eden Reforestation Projects

Eden Reforestation Projects are helping to mitigate climate change by restoring forests worldwide; they also hire locally and create job opportunities within vulnerable communities. Donations from our trips support restoration across planting sites in 10 countries around the globe. Find out more or make a donation World Bicycle Relief

World Bicycle Relief provides people in low-income communities with bicycles to mobilize school kids, health workers, and farmers in far-out areas – giving them access to vital education, healthcare, and income. Donations help provide Buffalo Bicycles – specifically designed to withstand the rugged terrain and harsh environment of rural regions – to those who need them most. Find out more or make a donation

Frequently Asked Questions About Iceland Travel Packages

Plus, when you choose Nordic Visitor, you can Book With Confidence , safe in the knowledge that your payments are protected. For details about our booking process, payments and more, read our FAQs and booking terms .

1. Is Iceland a safe place to visit?

Iceland is the most peaceful country in the world according to the Global Peace Index , and has been since 2008. This, along with a low crime rate and modern healthcare system, means Iceland is a safe place to visit.

What’s more, Icelanders are known for their friendly and liberal attitudes, making it a welcoming place for solo, female, and LGBTQ+ travellers.

Learn more about why Iceland is safe to visit and check out this page for recent Iceland travel updates .

2. Is Iceland volcanically active?

Iceland is known as the Land of Fire and Ice because it’s home to glaciers, hot springs, geysers and volcanoes.

While some of these volcanoes are extinct or dormant, others are active. This is because the country sits on top of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates are pulling apart.

That said, most of these active volcanoes aren’t considered a threat by the Icelandic authorities. And local scientists constantly monitor seismic activity for any signs of a potential eruption.

At Nordic Visitor, we stay informed about volcanic activity, as well as changing weather reports, so you can relax and enjoy your journey. While you’re in Iceland, don’t hesitate to ask the locals for directions or advice either, as they’re used to travellers and tend to be very helpful.

If something does happen during your visit, your dedicated travel consultant will get in touch. Plus, you can call our 24/7 helpline if you need assistance on your trip.

Check out these resources for up-to-date information about any ongoing volcanic activity:

• Iceland volcano update - for updates on volcanic activity from Nordic Visitor’s travel experts
• Icelandic Met Office - for information on seismic activity in Iceland
• Safe Travel Iceland - for any safety alerts

3. Is Iceland a good place to vacation?

Home to the vibrant capital of Reyjavík , fascinating Nordic culture, and otherworldly landscapes, a trip to Iceland promises to be unforgettable no matter your interests. What’s more, with friendly, English-speaking locals and a good road network, getting around the Land of Fire and Ice is straightforward.

If you love the outdoors, you’ll soon fall for the country’s breathtaking scenery. This is a land of volcanoes , glaciers and waterfalls , not to mention a rugged coastline with mighty cliffs and black sand beaches. The best way to explore? Hit the open road with your camera to hand and get ready to make memories.

If it’s culture you’re after, head for Iceland’s towns and the lively capital city of Reyjavík. Here you’ll find a host of interesting museums – some traditional, others quirky. There are also attractions such as Hallgrímskirkja and the Harpa Concert Hall with their impressive nature-inspired architecture.

Plus, Reykjavík is a top spot for trying Icelandic cuisine. You’ll be able to choose from refined tasting menus, food halls serving delicious international dishes, and much-loved local hot dog stands.

What’s more, you’ll get a different experience in the Land of Fire and Ice depending on when you visit. Imagine exploring under the midnight sun in summer and hunting for the northern lights in winter. Uncover the best time to visit Iceland in this guide.

4. Do people speak English in Iceland?

Yes, English is widely spoken in Iceland. In fact, it’s taught as a second language in schools. While you’ll be able to speak English to the locals, we recommend learning a few Icelandic phrases for fun.

Here are some useful ones:

Learn more in this short guide to Icelandic languages and phrases .

5. How should I travel around Iceland?

The best way to see Iceland depends on the kind of travel experience you’re looking for. Book with Nordic Visitor and you can choose from self-drive, small group, multi-day and privately guided tours of Iceland.

Taking the wheel on a self-drive tour of Iceland will give you the freedom to go at your own pace. You’ll be able to spend as long as you like at attractions and make spontaneous photo stops as you go.

If you’d rather let someone else take care of the driving, choose a small group tour . This means you’ll explore in a group of up to 16 travellers with a knowledgeable guide leading the way. They’ll drive the minibus and share regional history and folklore with you along the way.

A multi-day tour package is another way you could experience the Land of Fire and Ice. Depending on the trip you choose, you’ll usually be based in the buzzing capital of Reykjavík with guided excursions into the surrounding countryside. This is ideal if you’d like to stay in one place during your time in Iceland.

Or go for a privately guided Iceland trip and enjoy the services of your very own guide who shares your interests. Not only will they take you to the must-see spots, but you’ll be able to tailor your trip with your preferred attractions and activities.

6. When is the best time to see the northern lights in Iceland?

The northern lights happen all year round, but you’ll only be able to see this natural phenomenon when it’s dark. Thanks to Iceland’s northerly latitude, this means the winter months of October to April are the best time to chase the aurora borealis here.

With fewer daylight hours at this time of year, you’ll have a better chance of spotting this colourful display.

Delve into this blog for expert advice on the best times and places to see the northern lights . And don’t miss this guide to the aurora in Iceland for more handy tips.

7. How many days do I need for an Iceland vacation?

The length of your trip will depend on what you’d like to see and do during your stay in Iceland. For instance, if you want to travel the country’s famous Ring Road , you’ll need at least 1 week in Iceland . This well-maintained road goes around the country connecting many top attractions.

If you’d like to explore at a more leisurely pace, then 10 days to 2 weeks or more is better. This way you’ll have longer to immerse yourself in the local culture and astonishing landscapes.

With more time in Iceland, you could also detour off the Ring Road to discover less-visited spots. Areas like the highlands , Westfjords and Snæfellsnes peninsula are brimming with jaw-dropping landscapes.

That said, as a relatively small country with a walkable capital city, it’s also possible to experience some of Iceland’s highlights in just a few days. Travel Iceland’s Golden Circle route from Reyjavík to see waterfalls, geysers and a stunning national park on the same day.

For a memorable short break or stopover in Iceland , you could also stay in Reykjavík and take day trips to the south coast . Here you can marvel at glacier lagoons, black sand beaches and moss-covered lava fields.

Read this article about how many days you’ll need in Iceland to learn more about the best length of trip for you.

8. How should I plan a road trip in Iceland?

Planning an unforgettable road trip takes time - researching where to stay, what route to follow and which attractions to visit. But book your self-drive tour of Iceland with Nordic Visitor, and we’ll take care of the details for you.

Each of these itineraries has been designed by one of our Iceland experts. They know the best places to go and where to find the top-rated accommodations. Not to mention the most scenic ways to get from A to B.

9. Is Iceland a good family vacation spot?

Absolutely! Not only is Iceland a kid-friendly destination, but you’ll find the locals are known for being warm and welcoming.

Plus, with so much to see and do in the Land of Fire and Ice, there’s plenty to keep your family entertained. Imagine getting to see impressive waterfalls, glittering glaciers and active geysers as you explore together.

As well as discovering Iceland’s natural wonders, you could try activities like horseback riding or swimming in geothermal pools. And if you love animals, don’t miss the chance to take your family on a puffin or whale-watching tour.

It’s not all about the outdoors and nature though. There are also world-class museums with interactive exhibits to check out. All of this makes Iceland a stand-out place to visit on a family trip .

For the flexibility of being able to stop whenever you like, opt for a self-drive tour. Plus, you’ll be able to relax knowing that your accommodation, rental car and optional activities are planned for you by a Reyjavík-based expert.

Find out more in this guide to experiencing Iceland with kids .

10. Can I choose the arrival date?

Yes, you can select an arrival date that suits you when you book a Nordic Visitor tour.

With self-drive, multi-day and privately guided packages, choose the day that works best for you on the trip’s online calendar. Or pick your ideal start date from a list of set departures when you go for a guided small group tour.

Travel in June , July or August if you want to experience Iceland in summer . This is the most popular time of year for visitors, as the days are long and the temperatures are mild.

Or come during the shoulder seasons of spring ( May ) and autumn ( September ) to see the top attractions with fewer people around. On the other hand, if you’re hoping to glimpse the northern lights, make sure to come in winter - between October and April .

Once you’ve chosen your ideal tour, you can easily see which dates are available on the trip’s online calendar.

11. When should I book my flights?

Before booking your package, we recommend checking to see what flights are available. But it’s best to hold off on purchasing flights until after you’ve received a confirmation email from your travel consultant.

By booking your travel package first, you’ll get introduced to your dedicated travel consultant and receive all of your tour information. This means you can make a more informed choice when organising flights in and out of Iceland.

12. How do I plan an Iceland vacation?

Iceland is packed with must-visit attractions and natural wonders. So planning a trip here can seem endless, especially when you’re also deciding the way you want to travel.

We recommend you start by choosing the time of year you'd like to visit, as this will affect the attractions you can see. For instance, go for a summer vacation in Iceland if you want more daylight for sightseeing. Or pick a winter tour if you’d like to chase the northern lights.

From there, think about whether you want a tour with independence and flexibility (like a self-drive or multi-day tour). On the other hand, you might prefer an escorted tour where you’ll explore in a small group or with your own private guide.

Once you know when and how you’d like to travel, it’s time to start researching and booking local hotels for your trip. This is also a good time to arrange your attraction tickets and passes.

Or you could save yourself a lot of time and hassle by booking your tour with Nordic Visitor instead. Each of our travel experiences has been curated by a local who knows all the best accommodations, attractions and routes. Choose us and we’ll take care of the details so you don’t have to.

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

With so much to discover in the Land of Fire and Ice, you’ll be spoiled for choice when it comes to deciding what to do. For instance, in the space of a few hours, you could be marvelling at crashing waterfalls, endless lava fields and active geysers.

No matter how you like to travel, these are some of the top experiences to have on your trip to Iceland:

• • Get up close to glaciers, lagoons and ice caves
• • Be blown away by Iceland’s famous waterfalls
• • Chase the northern lights on a winter getaway
• • See striking black sand beaches for yourself
• • Glimpse wildlife like puffins, Arctic foxes and whales
• • Taste Icelandic cuisine in colourful Reyjavík
• • Relax in a natural hot spring or geothermal pool
• • Watch geysers shoot hot water high into the air
• • Discover the volcanic highlands on a guided jeep tour
• • Hike scenic trails in pristine national parks

Get inspired by even more exciting things to do in Iceland .

14. How much is a vacation in Iceland?

The cost of your trip to Iceland will vary depending on when you decide to travel, how long you stay for, and whether or not you’d like a guide.

That said, all Nordic Visitor tour packages include your accommodation, local transport and daily breakfast, along with a detailed itinerary and handy travel guides. You’ll also enjoy the services of a dedicated travel consultant who’ll arrange your entire trip for you (excluding flights).

You can see what each tour package comes with by checking the “What’s Included” tab on the website. For instance, you’ll get a rental car, unlimited mileage, and insurance with all self-drive tours.

Meanwhile, all small group and private trips include the services of a professional English-speaking guide. And some dinners are provided on selected small group tours.

15. Can I customise my tour?

Yes, you can customise each of these expert-curated itineraries with additional nights and excursions. Depending on the trip, you’ll also be able to select the type of accommodation that’s best for you.

Once you’ve chosen your ideal tour package, you can browse our range of optional extras when you book online. Or speak to one of our Reykjavík-based travel consultants for personalised recommendations.

Pick one of these self-drive tours of Iceland and you could extend your trip with extra nights at stops along your route. You could also opt to upgrade your rental car.

Another flexible way to travel is with an Iceland multi-day tour package . On these trips, you’ll stay in Reyjavík and take guided tours to spots like the Golden Circle and the stunning south coast. This will let you explore the capital at your own pace while being able to pick the type of excursions and activities you’d like to try.

On small group tours of Iceland , it’s possible to extend your stay with additional nights at either end of the guided portion of the journey. There might also be opportunities to add city walking tours or whale-watching boat trips to your package.

If you’d like to travel with a local guide but want more flexibility, go for a private tour of Iceland . This way, you’ll have your very own knowledgeable driver-guide who’ll take you to top attractions and hidden gems. And because it’s just you and your chosen travel companions, you can stop wherever you like along the way.

16. What’s the weather like in Iceland?

The weather in Iceland can be unpredictable, so you’ll want to be prepared for a variety of conditions no matter when you travel.

Visit in spring, summer or autumn - May to September - and you’ll experience milder and drier weather compared to winter. In fact, June and July tend to be the driest months of the year. But this doesn’t mean you should leave your waterproofs at home, as things can change quickly.

With average spring and autumn temperatures ranging from around 3-10°C (38-50°F) in the Reyjavík area, you’ll also want some cosy layers to hand.

Explore during mid-summer - June, July and August - and you’ll get average temperatures of about 7-14°C (44-58°F). You’ll also encounter a phenomenon known as the midnight sun . This is when it stays light well into the evening.

So at this time of year, you might like to bring an eye mask for sleeping. We also recommend packing sunglasses, suncream and insect repellent.

In the winter months of October to April, you can expect average temperatures of around -3.5-6°C (26-43°F) in southern Iceland. But it’s good to know that it doesn’t usually stay below freezing for long.

17. What should I pack for my trip to Iceland?

Whenever you decide to come to Iceland, layering is the best way to adjust what you’re wearing to suit the changeable weather. Here’s a basic packing list to get you started:

• Walking boots with good grip
• Waterproof jacket and trousers
• Insulated jacket
• Woollen or fleece jumpers
• Thermal base layers
• Warm hat, scarf and gloves
• Thick hiking socks
• Rucksack or day bag

If you’re planning to take a dip in some of Iceland’s geothermal pools or hot springs , don’t forget swimwear and a quick-drying travel towel. You might also want to pack a couple of smarter outfits for dining out in the evening.

The Land of Fire and Ice

Iceland always makes for a spectacular experience. From the Northern Lights to the epic glaciers each turn of your journey brings unforgettable memories of the sights, sounds and flavors. Settled over a thousand years ago by the Vikings, this island sits along the mid-Atlantic ridge in the North Atlantic Ocean and has a culture deeply rooted in its ancient heritage. Pristine nature forms and stark landscapes are just the beginning. Icelandic art and culture, which draws from the ancient Sagas, continues to surprise visitors. It is a fascinating country that is sure to capture your heart.

What does luciana love most about iceland.

Hear our Tour Manager Luciana talk about the beauty of her favorite place in Iceland – Jökulsárlón Glacial Lagoon. This lagoon is a place of unearthly beauty, were the bright blues, stark whites, and volcanic blacks of the floating glaciers show you a natural beauty found nowhere else on earth.

Destination Must-See's

Golden Circle:

This driving route encompasses many of Iceland's most renowned natural wonders, including Thingvellir National Park, the nation’s most historic area. Icelanders gathered here in A.D. 930 and established one of the world’s first parliaments. Also this is one of the globe’s most geologically significant landscapes. It marks the point where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates meet.

Seljalandsfoss Waterfall:

This beautiful cascade is one of Iceland’s most famous and picturesque waterfalls. It is an impressive sight where water falls from a sheer cliff plunging 210 feet below. What makes it even more unique is that you can see it from all sides. That’s right - have your raincoat ready as you venture behind the falls and travel along a picture- perfect walkway. You’ll not only see but also feel the power of this natural treasure.

Vatnajökull National Park:

This is home to the magnificent Vatnajokull Glacier, the largest in Iceland and in fact, the largest glacier mass in all of Europe. Underneath this huge ice cap that covers 8% of the island lies several active volcanoes. It is a fascinating place where the powerful interchange of volcanoes and glaciers or fire and ice are continually at odds.

Aurora Borealis:

Each year, during the winter months, the magical but elusive northern lights (aurora borealis) appear. This natural phenomenon is the product of collisions between electrically charged particles from the sun that enter the earth's atmosphere; the results are spectacular! Streaks of colorful light appear across the sky. This light show is truly dazzling and worth the pursuit.

Destination Must-Do's

Blue Lagoon:

On the Reykjanes Peninsula, known for its rugged landscape, lava fields, and hot springs, sits the famous Blue Lagoon. Formed during the operation of a nearby geothermal power plant, it is a place where science harmonizes with nature. The waters are renowned for their healing properties. Visitors dip in the pleasantly warm, mineral-rich waters located in the middle of a dramatic lava field in the hopes of leaving with a youthful glow.

Skogar Folk Museum:

The museum’s founder Thordur Tomasson started this museum with his personal collection of artifacts back in 1949. It has grown tremendously under his direction. Today you will find an extensive collection of tools, handicrafts, books, manuscripts, and documents. And on the grounds there is a substantial open-air museum with many traditional Icelandic buildings including a chapel and schoolhouse.

Cruise Jökulsárlón Lagoon:

This glacial lagoon is famous for its countless icebergs. The lagoon is fed from the melting waters of the massive Vatnajökull glacier. It is an incredible experience to board a small boat and venture out in the tranquil waters to get up close to these mighty chunks of ice while surrounded by immense beauty. On your adventure, you may even get the opportunity to taste the 1,000 year old glacial ice.

This Icelandic delicacy made from shark meat offers a unique window into Icelandic culture. For over 400 years, the people of Iceland have hunted the Greenland shark. The locals cure and hang the meat to dry for 4 to 5 months producing this delicacy known as “hakare.” Take the opportunity to learn the process and give it a try! It is sure to be like nothing you have ever tried before. Eating it is considered a sign of hardiness among the locals.

Expert Advice

No fancy clothes required. Dress casual, comfortable and most importantly, in layers. The weather can change at any moment. Wind and rain are common, so I suggest packing waterproof clothes and shoes, and bringing a hooded windbreaker and an umbrella.

You may find yourself wondering, is that an abandoned baby carriage, with a baby inside!? Relax, no worries, the parents are just inside dining. Yes that is right, it is Icelandic culture to leave the baby outside a café or restaurant. No need to alert the authorities, the baby is safe, and it is a common practice.

Attractions

Daily itinerary

Day 1 - Arrival in Iceland

On the first day of your seven-day summer package tour, you'll arrive in Iceland.

Your summer vacation to Iceland begins when you land at Keflavik International Airport. After passing customs and collecting your luggage, you'll easily find the shuttle bus waiting to take you to your hotel.

If you arrive earlier, you can begin your holiday with a trip to the Blue Lagoon geothermal spa, one of the country's most famous and popular attractions. 

This spa is powered by geothermal energy underneath the earth and has luxurious saunas, steam rooms, hot tubs, and pools to bathe in.

Its azure waters are said to have incredible healing properties. It's a great way to start your trip to Iceland.

If you can't visit the Blue Lagoon geothermal spa on arrival, you can organize it before departure. It is just as inviting whether you are rejuvenating from your flight or your week-long adventure.

You'll be driven across the Reykjanes Peninsula to Reykjavik, where you will stay for six nights. 

The landscapes here will immediately show you how beautiful Iceland's nature can be. Cone-shaped volcanoes, endless plains of twisted lava, and stunning coastal geology will be displayed as you travel.

Once you reach your hotel, you can either rest up in preparation for your adventures or get to know the lively city of Reykjavik. As you are traveling in summer, you can sightsee around the city well into the night due to the phenomenon of the midnight sun.

You can choose from various restaurants and bars to taste the local culture. 

When you're ready, head back to your comfortable accommodation to get a good night's sleep ahead of your next Iceland adventure.

Day 2 - The Golden Circle

On day two of your week-long summer vacation in Iceland, you will take your first day tour, a Golden Circle sightseeing trip. This sightseeing route is the country's most popular due to the incredible beauty of its three diverse attractions.

After being picked up by your guide, you'll be driven through picturesque landscapes to the first stop: Thingvellir National Park. 

Iceland's intense volcanic activity occurs because the continental divide runs through the country. Thingvellir National Park is in the middle, meaning you can see and explore between two tectonic plates.

The park's primordial geology is just one of its many fascinating qualities. It also boasts a captivating history and a central role in many sagas because Icelanders first formed their parliament here over a thousand years ago. 

It is spectacular, with dramatic ravines, glistening springs, abundant woodland, and surrounding volcanoes.

The second major sight along the Golden Circle sightseeing route is the hot-spring area of Geysir. As can be gathered from its name, this site is famous for its geysers. 

Geysir may be inactive, but its neighbor Strokkur is world-renowned for the regularity and height of its eruptions.

Surrounding Strokkur are plenty of other hot springs, and the resulting sulfuric air and brightly colored earth are reminders that this beautiful country is still forming.

The third and final attraction of the Golden Circle sightseeing route is Iceland's most famous waterfall, Gullfoss. Fed by a river descending from the country's second-largest glacier, Langjokull, this magnificent attraction falls with both grace and incredible power.

If the sun is shining, rainbows will arch through the great clouds of mist blooming from where it crashes into a valley.

Though you are welcome to tour these sites and spend the rest of the day in Reykjavik, you can combine your trip with one of three uniquely Icelandic adventures.

While in Thingvellir National Park, you can take a snorkeling tour in the Silfra ravine. Snorkeling participants need to be comfortable in the water and be able to swim.

Regularly voted one of the world's top ten snorkeling and diving sites, the visibility often exceeds 328 feet (100 meters), and the vividness of the blues and beauty of the underwater world defy the imagination.

Alternatively, you could take a super jeep from the car park at Gullfoss waterfall to Langjokull glacier for a snowmobiling adventure. 

The ice cap's gleaming slopes make for the perfect terrain to race across, and the views of the Icelandic Highlands on clear days are some of the country's most spectacular.

A final option is to journey on horseback through the gorgeous rural landscapes of Southwest Iceland. Renowned for their unique gait, colorful personalities, and small stature, Icelandic horses are a pleasure for expert equestrians and complete novices.

You'll arrive back in Reykjavik with time to enjoy a restaurant meal, walk through the streets, and get a taste of the nightlife before retiring to your accommodation in the city.

Day 3 - Jewels of the South Coast

On the third day of your week-long summer vacation in Iceland, you will start your journey along Iceland's South Coast. 

The South Coast has many waterfalls, glaciers, volcanoes, and coastal attractions. You'll have plenty of time at each site as you'll spend the night in a countryside hotel.

After being picked up by your guide, you'll be driven to the South Coast, where you'll find beautiful views, such as the Westman Islands out to sea. 

Your first stop, however, will be at Seljalandsfoss waterfall. Facing the ocean and falling in a narrow, graceful stream from a height of 197 feet (60 meters), it is possible to walk around it due to the massive cavern behind it.

Hidden in a grotto just around the corner from Seljalandsfoss waterfall is a second waterfall, the mystical Gljufrabui waterfall, which many guests overlook.

As you continue along the South Coast, you'll be in the shadow of the mighty ice caps of Myrdalsjokull and Eyjafjallajokull glaciers.

You will take a glacier hiking tour on the magnificent outlet glacier of Solheimajokull. You'll get incredible views of South Iceland as you explore its crevasses, formations, and gleaming ice walls.

The next major attraction is a waterfall just as tall as Seljalandfoss waterfall but far more powerful: Skogafoss waterfall. 

Up to 66 feet (20 meters) wide after heavy rain, it is renowned for the colossal blooms of spray that rise when it crashes to the ground, as well as its interesting folklore. It is said to conceal a treasure chest.

Following your walk here, you will head to Dyrholaey Cliff, a massive rock arch that curves into the ocean. In summer, this is one of the best places in the country to find nesting puffins. 

Close to this magnificent attraction is the black sand shore of Reynisfjara Beach, considered one of the most beautiful non-tropical beaches in the world.

Reynisfjara Beach is best known for the massive sea stacks of Reynisdrangar, which tower over the coastline. 

In Icelandic folklore, it was said that these were formed when two trolls, attempting to drag a ship to land, were turned to stone when caught in the light of the rising sun.

As you drive towards your accommodation, tongues of Europe's largest ice cap, Vatnajokull glacier, will appear misty and spectacular in the valleys between the mountains.

You'll stay at a remote hotel in a beautiful corner of Southwest Iceland tonight.

Day 4 - Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon and Diamond Beach

On the fourth day of your vacation in Iceland, you will head to a sight often called the crown jewel of Iceland's nature because of its beauty: the Jokulsarlon glacier lagoon and its adjacent beach.

The lagoon is located between a crumbling outlet of Vatnajokull glacier and the ocean, connected to the latter by a narrow river. As the glacier tongue breaks apart, enormous icebergs fill the azure waters, some towering many feet tall.

Their coloration is vivid, with gleaming white, electric blue, and black streaks, representing ash layers from centuries-old eruptions.

Many icebergs are large enough that seals use them to rest on, and you may see many more of these adorable creatures splashing around in the waters between them.

Watching the seals and icebergs from the shore is breathtaking, but on this vacation package, you can get closer to them.

By boarding an amphibious vessel, you can immerse yourself in the lagoon, getting close enough to touch the ice and allowing yourself to marvel over the glacier from the beautiful waters.

Adjacent to Jokulsarlon glacier lagoon is a magical stretch of coastline that has been nicknamed the "Diamond Beach"' as this is where the icebergs of the lagoon finish their journey, washing onto the black sands and glistening as they melt.

Their appearance resembles that of precious jewels, hence the beach's name. Some are still an impressive size, and photographers will love the opportunities presented by the contrasts here.

Once you've spent a few hours at this magnificent corner of Iceland, your guide will drive you back to Reykjavik along the South Coast.

Under different conditions and traveling in the opposite direction, the landscapes will appear new on your return journey, and you'll make several stops at some scenic sights along the way.

Tonight, you'll return to your accommodation in Reykjavik.

Day 5 - Inside the Volcano

On the fifth day of your summer vacation package in Iceland, you will take a guided tour into the Thrihnukagigur volcano, a dormant volcano in West Iceland.

Though the sites you have seen over the past four days are unforgettable, the true highlight of your week-long summer vacation in Iceland comes today with your descent into the magma chamber of the incredible Thrihnukagigur volcano.

Your guide will pick you up from Reykjavik and escort you to a lava field. You'll hike a short distance across this otherworldly terrain until you reach a mining lift amongst the basalt.

You'll be given safety gear and a briefing before you board the lift and begin your slow descent into the magma chamber. The most magnificent underground world will open up before you as you travel down the shaft.

After a volcano erupts and its magma chamber drains, it collapses on its structure. Thrihnukagigur volcano, however, did not.

Discovered only recently by a caver, it remained an enormous cavern, large enough to contain the Statue of Liberty.

The colors brought up from the magma of the earth are unbelievably vivid, shimmering reds, greens, and yellows against the black rock. Lights in the cavern will allow you to appreciate them in all their glory.

Once the lift has fully descended, you can explore the base of the chamber and marvel over its formations up close.

After making the most of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, only available in Iceland, you'll return to Reykjavik and have the rest of your day to make the most of the city.

If you enjoy exploring Iceland's nature, visit the Perlan Museum, with fascinating interactive exhibitions on all its facets. There's lots of interesting architecture to explore in Reykjavik, too. Head to the top of Hallgrimskirkja church, where you'll find a viewing platform with incredible views over Reykjavik's rooftops.

You'll stay at your accommodation in Reykjavik tonight.

Day 6 - Free Day in Reykjavik

On the penultimate day of your week in Iceland, you'll have the opportunity to explore more of Reykjavik. Alternatively, you can take one of three exciting tours instead.

The first of these tours is a whale-watching excursion from the city's old harbor. In summer, Iceland is one of the world's best whale-watching locations, as the gentle giants of the deep migrate to its bountiful waters. 

Elusive minkes and humpback whales are most commonly spotted, although blue, fin, and killer whales are also occasionally seen.

Most of these boat trips also include sightings of white-beaked dolphins and seabirds, including puffins.

Your second option is a helicopter ride from the domestic airport in Reykjavik. After the adrenaline rush of a thrilling take-off, you'll be awed by the beauty of the world's northernmost capital from such a unique angle. 

You'll see the colorful tin roofs of the city, and its famous landmarks, such as Hallgrimskirkja Church and the Harpa Concert Hall, are even more spectacular from above.

A final tour option for today is another horseback ride in the beautiful rural valley of Mosfellsbaer just outside the capital. 

If you didn't take this tour on your second day, or if you particularly love riding, this is another beautiful opportunity to meet Icelandic horses and experience the landscapes of Iceland alongside them.

For the time you are in Reykjavik, your choices of what to do are endless. 

You can explore the boutiques on Laugavegur shopping street, watch a show at a live music bar, taste some national delicacies at a restaurant, learn about the many facets of Iceland's culture at a museum, or even visit the geothermally heated beach at Nautholsvik.

After spending as long in the city as you like beneath the beautiful light of the midnight sun, you will spend your final night at your accommodation in Reykjavik.

Day 7 - Departure from Iceland

On the last day of your week-long summer vacation in Iceland, it's time to head home.

After breakfast at your accommodation, you'll board a Flybus that will take you back to Keflavik International Airport in time for your flight.

If you have an early flight, get to the airport in plenty of time to check in and drop off your luggage. Once you're through security, you can enjoy shopping or a meal at one of the restaurants or bars in the terminal while waiting to board your flight.

Of course, you can arrange a detour to the Blue Lagoon geothermal spa on your way to the airport if you did not go on your first day. 

Soaking in its azure waters, with a silica mask on your face, surrounded by the magnificent volcanic landscapes of Reykjanes, is a great way to say farewell to the land of ice and fire.

Those with a late departure could also enjoy several extra hours to explore Reykjavik. You can visit one of the city's renowned galleries or swimming pools or take a relaxing stroll through one of its parks or nature areas. 

Before your departure, check out its most iconic architectural sites and marvel at the views of Mount Esja over Faxafloi Bay.
