Ganapati Hegde

From the moment I embarked on my 10-day self-drive journey along Iceland's complete ring road, it became evident that Guide To Iceland was an indispensable partner in transforming my dream trip into an unforgettable reality. Months of meticulous planning preceded my adventure, during which the remarkable team at Guide to Iceland proved invaluable. They not only provided invaluable assistance at every stage but also crafted an itinerary so precise, it felt like following a meticulously detailed roadmap. Their willingness to accommodate customizations and their unwavering guidance were instrumental in ensuring our journey proceeded seamlessly. An issue arose with one of our accommodations, but thanks to Guide to Iceland's swift action, an alternate hotel was arranged in a mere 15 minutes, reaffirming their commitment to customer satisfaction and efficiency. Throughout the tour, their meticulous planning alleviated any concerns about logistics and accommodations, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the breathtaking beauty of Iceland. Guide to Iceland truly deserves commendation for this. The team at Guide To Iceland epitomizes transparency, honesty, and professionalism from start to finish. Their customer-centric approach sets them apart, making them the ultimate solution for anyone planning a trip to Iceland. Regards, GH

Amazing glacier tour! The natural beauty is absolutely stunning. Our tour guide was excellent and knew some spots which were different from those that most tour operators visit - and far better. Beautiful, quiet, just us. Would highly recommend this to anyone visiting Iceland!

This helicopter tour was the absolute highlight of our trip to Iceland! Soaring over the volcanic landscapes of the Reykjanes peninsula was a breathtaking experience. The views were absolutely incredible - a dramatic panorama of craters, lava fields, and geothermal features that you simply cannot see from the ground. But what truly elevated the experience was our fantastic pilot. They were incredibly knowledgeable and informative, pointing out all the interesting geological features and sharing fascinating facts about the region's volcanic history. Their passion for Iceland was contagious, and they made the entire flight even more enjoyable. We even got a close-up view of the Fagradalsfjall volcano, which erupted in 2022 and the recent eruption site from 2023. Seeing the raw power of nature firsthand was awe-inspiring. This tour is an absolute must for anyone visiting Iceland who wants a unique and unforgettable perspective of the country's stunning natural beauty.

Our tour guide, Martin, is really nice. We enjoyed his story about the glacier. We also took group picture for us. I don’t know what else you can expect from a tour. Martin is GREAT!

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: Whit Sunday and Whit Monday*

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

Adventure Tours in Iceland

While just seeing Iceland is an adventure in itself, our special adventure tours add a little, or a lot of extra thrilling fun to your otherworldly experience. Enjoy shooting across a glacial desert on a snowmobile or down a black beach on an ATV next to a volcano. How about snorkelling in a fissure between two tectonic plates in the crystal-clear waters of Þingvellir National Park?

Personal fairy tale or a shot of adrenalin

We highly recommend getting to know Iceland’s most charming inhabitant, the Icelandic horse, on a guided horseback riding tour. Then there’s the cave explorations, the whale watching, the river rafting, volcanoes, ice caves and northern lights hunt, not to mention all the amazing hiking of course, our national sport. Our tours cover all kinds of interests and pace but they all aim for quality and professionalism. Whether you’re in for a rollercoaster ride of adrenalin to tick of your bucket list, or your own personal fairy tale moment, our tours should provide just the right amount of adventure while experiencing something brand new in Iceland.

Experience an Ice Cave Tour in Iceland

Southern Iceland is, hands down, one of the best locations to explore an ice cave in Iceland.  With so many local glaciers, the landscape is constantly shifting and changing to create these unique formations.  One of our favourite pass-times is discovering new super-secret ice caves.  And because we know the area so well, we know just where to find them, even outside of the typical ‘ice cave season’.  We love nothing more than sharing this year’s caves with our guests, before they’re gone forever.

The Hidden Mountains Tour

Perhaps you’d like to spend a day hunting for secret waterfalls or hidden caves?  Maybe you’d love to see where some of your favourite movies were shot or take a  custom Game of Thrones Tour?  Or perhaps you need a family-friendly tour, complete with adventure, as many bathrooms stop as you like and plenty of tales about mischievous elves and trolls? Our custom private tours are perfect for all of these requests and more. Tell us what you’re keen to see and do, and we’ll make it happen.

Just book it! You won't regret it.

We booked this trip to see the caves in the Katla glacier and we didn’t regret it one bit. It was an unbelievable experience and a must do if you plan to visit Iceland. Our guide A.J. was fun, educational and amazing. Really a must do!

Great experience!

We had a wonderful experience! Besides the amazing sightings, our experienced guide made it even more interesting with his knowledge, sense of humour and enthusiasm. I truly recommend Katlatrack Adventure Tours (which is a family run local company!)

Katla Ice Cave

Bessi was an amazing guide. The trip was absolutely incredible, safe, and shouldn’t be missed if going to this region. The best part is that the caves are constantly changing as the glacier evolves season after season, so no two tours are exactly alike. The landscapes around the ice cave alone are worth the trip (scenes from Star Wars were filmed there), and the ice cave itself is amazing. Memories to last a lifetime!

Highly recommended!

My friend and I had a lot of fun doing “Katla Ice Cave Tour”. All guides have a good sense of humour and tell a lot of very interesting stories, visit the cave was also very exciting. Remember about good shoes and take your gloves with you. I highly recommend it to everyone!!

A highlight - Do not miss!

Worth every dollar, do not miss this opportunity to go into an ice cave and see a beautiful black sand beach. (not the tourist one). This one really has fine black sand. Seeing a glacier up close was an experience of a lifetime. We have hiked several glaciers but this was much much better and was not too strenuous. I felt safe at all times.

Planning a Trip to Iceland

6 minute read

By Adina Lazar

29 April 2024

Known as the Land of Fire and Ice, Iceland is famed for its dramatic volcanic landscapes, striking black sand beaches, and impressive glaciers. For such a small country, you'll have an incredible amount to see and do, plus a ton to organize when planning a trip.

With that in mind, we’ve made a list of the most important things to consider to help you start planning a trip to Iceland.

• Kick off your Iceland adventure with these vacation packages .

1. Decide how long to stay

The length of your trip is a key detail to decide first. How long you’ll spend in Iceland depends on how much time you can spare and what your travel goals are.

Shorter trips

Generally speaking, the longer the trip, the more you’ll be able to see. But if you only have a few days, it’s entirely possible to take in plenty of stunning landscapes and one-of-a-kind experiences.

For trips shorter than 4 days, the best option is to stay in Reykjavík . Using the capital as your home base will give you the chance to take day tours to famous nearby sights.

For example, you could travel the popular Golden Circle route. You'll see the Gullfoss waterfall , Geysir geothermal area , and Þingvellir National Park – 3 of Iceland’s top attractions – in just one day.

As well as traveling around Reykjavík, you shouldn’t skip exploring Iceland’s buzzing capital city. With exciting culture, restaurants, and nightlife, you’ll have plenty of fun things to see and do. 

Walk through colorful neighborhoods with street art displays, eat at trendy food halls , and immerse yourself in cultural attractions like the Harpa Concert Hall .

You can also climb to the top of Hallgrímskirkja, Reykjavík's iconic church, where you’ll be treated to panoramic views of the city.

• For more inspiration, check out these multi-day tours from Reykjavík .
• Related: How long do you need in Iceland?

Longer trips  

Got a week or longer? Venture out and explore even more of the country. 

Head to the south coast to marvel at Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon , one of the region’s most popular destinations. If you’re up for it, take a boat tour to see the floating icebergs up close. On your way to the lagoon, you can stop at Seljalandsfoss waterfall , where you’ll get the chance to walk behind the thundering waters.

And don’t forget about Reynisfjara black sand beach near the charming village of Vík . It’s a great spot to take in the view and admire the dramatic cliffs and basalt sea stacks rising from the ocean.

• Go on a tour of South Iceland to see these wonders and a whole lot m ore.
• Related: Best things to see & do on Iceland’s south coast .

If whale watching is on your bucket list, travel north and you’ll find the coastal town of Húsavík , Iceland’s whale-watching capital.

While you’re here, don’t miss a visit to Akureyri , the unofficial capital of North Iceland . It’s an unmatched spot to sample local food, drink Icelandic craft beer, and try adrenaline-packed activities like snowmobiling.

Along the way you can stop and marvel at Goðafoss waterfall , known as the ‘Waterfall of the Gods’. Or explore Lake Mývatn , a volcanic lake surrounded by stunning natural landscapes such as geothermal areas, pseudo-craters, and lava formations.

But if you want to see it all and then some, following the Ring Road route is just the option. This road is Iceland's main highway that encircles the entire island. It’s roughly 1,332 km (828 mi) long and offers you the opportunity to explore some of Iceland's most spectacular landscapes, major towns, and natural wonders. 

We recommend taking at least a week to fully complete this epic journey and soak up all the main sights.

2. Choose when to visit

With so many cool things to experience, there’s no bad time to visit Iceland. But maybe you’ll find that visiting in a particular season works best for you.

Visiting Iceland in summer

In summer, you’ll discover the phenomenon known as the midnight sun . This happens when the sun doesn't fully set, giving you long hours of daylight. It provides plenty of time for exploration and outdoor activities, even late into the evening.

You’ll be treated to lush landscapes, warmer weather, and access to the highlands – a region inaccessible in winter due to snow and ice. Plus, summer is festival season, with various cultural events, concerts, and outdoor celebrations happening across the country.

But this season is also the most popular time to visit. To make the most of your trip, we recommend planning ahead and booking everything in advance. This even includes making reservations at top restaurants in Reykjavík .

 Visiting Iceland in winter

Winter is the time to witness a truly spectacular display of the Northern Lights , thanks to the long nights and dark skies.

You could also be treated to magical winter scenery with snow-covered mountains, frozen waterfalls, and icy landscapes. Relaxing in Iceland's hot springs and geothermal pools with these backdrops is especially beautiful during the winter months. Plus, it may not be as cold as you think, with average temperatures hovering around -2°C (28°F).

But keep in mind that winter has shorter days, so you’ll need to plan carefully to make the most of each day. And to be prepared for the chillier conditions, you’ll definitely need to pack layers!

Winter weather can also be unpredictable with storms, strong winds, and snowfall, so flexibility is key during this season.

• Related: Iceland in summer vs winter .

Visiting Iceland in spring or fall 

Spring and fall are the shoulder seasons in Iceland. During these periods, there are usually fewer visitors around, so you’ll have more of the attractions to yourself. Plus, the weather is generally milder.

If you visit Iceland in spring , you’ll get longer daylight hours than in winter, meaning more time for sightseeing. And with longer nights in October and November , late fall is one of the best times to see the Northern Lights in Iceland .

Both seasons are also prime times for wildlife viewing, with the chance to spot whales, Arctic foxes, and reindeer. But they can bring a mix of sun, rain showers, and occasional storms. Packing smart with wind and waterproof clothing will help keep you dry and comfortable.

3. Prepare your sightseeing bucket list

When you start planning your Iceland trip, you’ll find there are so many things to see and do! Interested in marveling at top attractions like the Golden Circle? Looking to get off the beaten path and explore the remote Westfjords ?

Make yourself a list and plan your Iceland itinerary in advance. For some attractions, such as the Blue Lagoon or Sky Lagoon , it’s best to book ahead. Spots can fill up fast, especially in summer.

We also suggest having a few backup plans in case the weather takes a turn. For example, Reykjavík’s museums , shops, and cozy cafés can be nice options to save for a rainy (or snowstorm-y) day.

While you’re planning, don’t forget to consider your budget. Iceland has a reputation for being an expensive place to visit. Check out this helpful budgeting guide to get an idea of how much you can expect to spend when you travel in Iceland, and some easy ways to save.

4. Make a packing list 

What you pack depends on the time of year that you’re visiting and the type of activities you have planned. However, as a general rule, it’s a good idea to have these 5 things at the top of your packing list:

• Waterproof jacket and pants
• Thermal layers
• Sturdy, comfortable hiking shoes
• Hat, scarf and gloves (in winter)

Of course in summer you can swap those cold winter accessories for a cap, SPF and sunglasses. But don’t forget to keep an eye on the weather forecast. It can help you make any last-minute changes before you zip up your suitcase and head to the airport.

5. Pick your travel style 

Now that you know how to plan a trip to Iceland, it’s time to choose how you want to get around the island. The main question is, to drive or not to drive?

If you like having the freedom to explore the Land of Fire and Ice at your own pace and stop off wherever you like, a self-drive tour is for you.

Prefer to have someone else drive? Check out these guided group tours where you can travel around the country with like-minded travelers. Or, if you’re after a more intimate discovery of what Iceland has to offer, try a private guided tour .

With both options you’ll be led by a local guide with expert knowledge of the country.

Or maybe you want to base yourself in Reykjavík or Akureyri. In that case, multi-day bus tours let you stay in Iceland's main hubs and explore nearby attractions on day trips. You’ll be able to customize your tour by adding extra activities to pack even more into your vacation.

Still not sure what travel style suits you? Find answers to all your questions about how to get around Iceland in this detailed guide.
