Our guide was so wonderful. He was so knowledgeable and shared many details about each of our destinations. You could definitely tell he wanted to make sure our trip was great. In fact, he sat outside of our hotel for over an hour and told us exactly when we should come out to see the Northern Lights.

Experience Iceland in luxury with Jacada Travel. We’ll create a tailor-made Iceland tour just for you. With some of the most dramatic landscapes on the planet, Iceland sits on the rim of the Arctic Circle.

Known as the Land of Fire and Ice, it’s these two elements that have shaped the island, giving it its unique topography and astonishing natural landmarks. This is a country where ice fields stretch out towards the horizon; mighty glaciers carve their way through mountains, thundering waterfalls crash to the ground and geysers spew hot water and steam into the crisp, Arctic air.

It’s safe to say, when it comes to natural splendour, Iceland is hard to beat. This is a country made for exploring, where one will be spending most of their time in the great outdoors. From racing across lava fields in a Super Jeep and kayaking through the glistening waters of a glacial lagoon, to hiking up mountains and quad biking across black sand beaches, Iceland is one big adventure playground. And, of course, after a day of activity, there’s nothing better than sinking into the thermal waters of its naturally occurring hot springs.

Iceland is a country for all seasons. In the winter, you have frozen waterfalls and, if you’re lucky, the Northern Lights. During the summer you can experience three days of constant sun and the thawed interior tundra. Situated between the North Atlantic and the Arctic Ocean, it’s the perfect stop-over between the US and Europe.

Your luxury Iceland tour can include as little or as much as you like. We’ll help you explore this beautiful, dramatic and varied country, alongside our excellent local guides. From accommodation to activities to transport, we’ll take care of everything so you can fully enjoy your exploration of Iceland.

Discover the country’s black volcanic rock, red-hot lava fields and steaming geysers

Explore the glacial lakes, icebergs and the aquamarine of the Blue Lagoon

Go fishing and spot puffins in the Eastern Fjords

Spend an evening chasing the elusive Northern Lights

Visit the small fishing towns and villages that dot the island’s wild ring road

The volcanic activity of Iceland is humbling. The natural energy that both sustains and threatens the islanders’ way of life makes its inhabitants and visitors connected, acutely aware of the power of our earth in a way that most are not. The lunar landscape of lava fields and towering glaciers make this an unforgettable island to explore.

When to visit

Iceland is a fantastic place to visit year-round. The winter months’ long nights are the best time to witness the Northern Lights, whereas long summer days are great for hiking. Snowmelt in the spring makes Iceland’s waterfalls even more spectacular, while autumn is quieter and the first snow’s contrast with the reddening mosses is particularly photogenic.

My family of 4 adults (2 adult sons) went to Iceland over the Xmas holidays from 12/21/23-12/27/23. The trip was outstanding! One of the best trips we have had as a family. There is so much to see and do in Iceland especially if you are looking for “action/adventure” type of activities, and especially in the winter. The country is…

My husband and I traveled to Iceland with Jacada. Every detail from beginning to end was well thought out. The trip was both luxurious and adventurous. Every moment felt like a once in a lifetime event. Communication with Jacada was spectacular. We will be traveling with them again!

Amazing trip to Iceland. All of the details exceptionally well managed and the overall itinerary was outstanding. Thanks to all the folks at Jacada for the planning, and great experiences at the Blue Lagoon, and especially at Deplar Farm- truly extraordinary!!!!

Even in the midst of Covid and all the complications resulting from it, everyone we dealt with at Jacada was able to put together an amazing adventure for us. We are seasoned world travelers, having been everywhere from the Great Wall of China to a safari in Botswana, and can say that the trip Jacada created for us in Iceland…

Our trip was well organized,our guide and driver Tohr was excellent! We did not like the Floss hotel too noisy and busy.

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.

Read more about Iceland's History and Folklore

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*

  • 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

Food & Drink

ÓX

ÓX Restaurant is one of the smallest restaurants in Reykjavik, seating only 11 people per night. The man behind ÓX is star chef Þráinn Freyr Vigfússon who also operates Sumac Bar & Grill. The new restaurant offers a unique foodie experience. “The idea behind ÓX came to me around 10 years ago when I was working at Grillið restaurant in Hótel Saga and at the Kjarrá fishing lodge during the summer. My proximity to my guests at Kjarrá was such that it opened a new world to me. At Grillið one was just closed off in the kitchen and never met with the guests.“ ÓX offers kitchen fittings that was made by Þrains grandfather in 1961. “I had kept it for a few years and intended to use it at the small restaurant. The idea was to make a sort of “homekitchen” and bar feel where guests would sit. I cook the food, serve the food and chat to guests.” ÓX was awarded The Plate MICHELIN in 2019. Please note that reservations need to be made well in advance. A credit card is required to make a reservation.

What is the weather like in Iceland?

Weather in Iceland is notoriously variable. Average temperatures range from 0°C (32°F) to 6°C (43°F) in the winter, and 10°C (50°F) to 15°C (59°F) in the summer. Whatever the temperature, each season offers something special to visitors.

Winter’s crisp and dark nights are perfect for sipping champagne under the shimmering aurora borealis. Meanwhile, summer brings endless daylight and abundant wildlife to Iceland – the perfect opportunity to go on a private whale-watching expedition under the midnight sun.

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

The best time to see the northern lights is during the winter, between October and March.

What should travelers pack for their trip to Iceland?

We advise guests to bring layers of clothing, so they can easily adjust to the different temperatures and weather. The inner layers keep the body warm, while the outer layer is needed for protection against rain and wind. Warm but breathable clothing is always recommended.

  • Windproof and waterproof jacket
  • Insulated winter jacket
  • Warm sweaters (wool or fleece)
  • Thermal base layers
  • Warm socks 
  • Hat, gloves and scarf
  • Waterproof hiking boots with sturdy soles

Iceland Luxury Tours & Honeymoons

Why should you travel to iceland with us.

Everybody’s Iceland travel photos look the same. Except for the ones our clients take.

That’s because our trips to Iceland are made entirely bespoke and never alight on the exact same itinerary twice. We can do this because we’ve spent years – since the early days of 2005 – getting to know and befriending the locals. From Einar, your guide across mighty Langjökull glacier and the tunnels beneath it, to Rós, who’ll lead you into the maw of dormant Thrihnukagigur volcano. These people – friends of Black Tomato – offer the best possible vantage to immerse yourself in this magnetic, eye-opening country.

Example Iceland trips

South iceland, golden circle & reykjavik: from land…, the ultimate summer holiday in iceland, reykjavík & south iceland: a luxury iceland family…, reykjavik: an icelandic long weekend, diamond circle: get off the beaten track in…, iceland: a luxury trip chasing the northern lights, reykjavik: a luxury helicopter tour through iceland, iceland: snorkel and dive between tectonic plates, thríhnúkagigur & eyjafjallajokull: a volcano adventure in iceland, north iceland: swim with humpback whales beneath the…, game of thrones: ireland and iceland, game of thrones: croatia and iceland, what to see and do in iceland.

If you can’t see it here we’ll still plan it for you.

Iceland is a remarkable destination famed for one-of-a-kind landscapes of stunning natural beauty. From exploding geysers to thundering waterfalls and steaming hot pools, treat yourself to a private tour of an island that is as phenomenal as it is fiery. Enjoy all this and more – including the stunning beauty of the Northern Lights – with a luxury vacation to Iceland.

WELCOME TO MYTH COUNTRY

Gulfoss Waterfall, Iceland

If the majestic humpback whales found in southern Faxaflói, best spotted from a private boat, don’t put the pressures of home into perspective, then the force of nature that is Gullfoss (Golden Falls) Waterfall should do the trick. On average, an astonishing 109 cubic meters a second tumble the 30-plus meters to the river below. Walk through Þingvellir (Thingvellir) National Parks ancient rocks where the world’s oldest surviving parliament was born or soak up the fascinating modern history (and beer) at Ölverk micro-brewery. Go off-piste via private helicopter and see this classic route from a more unfamiliar angle.

ICONIC SIGHTS IN ICELAND

Diamond Circle

Book a luxury summer vacation to take advantage of long, sunny days and seize the opportunity to see the island’s wildlife in full force. There are fantastic spots for coastal horse-riding, seal-spotting and whale-watching. A summer trip means seeing Iceland at its greenest, but don’t worry about missing out on the snow. At Deplar Farm you can take to the mountains for a spot of heliskiing that will lead you from the summit all the way down to the sea.

GET BACK TO NATURE

Summer in Iceland with

Seeking somewhere for that perfect year-end retreat? Private tours of Iceland give you the chance to enjoy snow-capped surprises at every turn. Hike over a glacier, explore ice caves, marvel at the Jökulsárlón Glacial Lagoon or hop on a snowmobile to carve your own path through the unforgettable landscape. An elegant country lodge, Hotel Ranga lets you take to the sky with a private helicopter tour before experiencing the Northern Lights from the comfort of your own hot tub.

EXPERIENCE A WINTER WONDERLAND

Jökulsárlón Glacial lagoon in Iceland

Iceland is not a destination to see from a tour bus or over the shoulders of the crowds; but one to truly immerse yourself in. Whether that be on the back of a snowmobile as you chase the Northern Lights or from a private boat on Jökulsárlón Glacial Lagoon, the best way to see Iceland is undoubtedly on a private luxury tour. Taking you into untapped corners of this rugged and wild country for an adventure-fuelled vacation, all without another person in sight, you’ll get to know Iceland unlike anyone else.

LUXURY AND LAGOONS

Ponies in Iceland in front of a snow capped mountain

Where adventure leads, romance isn’t necessarily unable to follow. Part of the allure of a luxury honeymoon in Iceland lies in its sweeping landscapes, but the reality is those discoveries that can be made within them. Private candlelit dinners in glacial caves, helicopter tours to remote islands and an exclusive corner of the Blue Lagoon to dip into; a honeymoon in Iceland offers something truly unique. Dust it all off with luxury lodges and Iceland proves to be quite the romantic indeed.

ROMANCE AMONG THE STONES

Blue Lagoon in Iceland

The laidback vibe of a charming fishing town blends effortlessly with contemporary edge in the capital city they call the Bay of Smoke. Small yet perfectly formed, Reykjavík can outshine cities three times its size when it comes to art, culture, and cutting-edge music. Should you tire of feasting on street food staples such as pylsur or viewing abstract sculptures from the likes of Sveinsson, we’ll arrange for the option of transport to the glorious mountains and rugged countryside just beyond the city limits. The wild is right on your doorstep here.

Rey

Forget glamping. With Blink, we can whisk you away to an area of Þórsmörk (Thórsmörk) most never see and experience the romance of the mighty glaciers from your own made-to-order campsite. Blink can make the unimaginable happen and create unique one-off experiences that will stay with you for a lifetime.

Blink luxury camping

Aurora viewing is an essential part of an Icelandic vacation. Best seen during the winter months, our expert guides know the very best spots to catch a glimpse of the kaleidoscopic Aurora Borealis. Live in the lap of luxury at the enchanting Hotel Ranga and you may even be lucky enough to spot the iconic lights on your doorstep.

The Northern Lights

Northern Lights

Þingvellir (Thingvellir) National Park and the raw, uncut wilderness that surrounds it is unlike anywhere else on earth. Snorkel in waters so clear they could be bottled, descend into the chambers of dormant volcanoes, and marvel at the tectonic plates that were immortalized in bloody battle during Game of Thrones season four.

Þingvellir (Thingvellir) National Park

Thingvellir National Park

With its inky-black sand and mist-covered sea, the otherworldly Reynisfjara Beach could easily be lifted from the pages of a science fiction novel. Unravel its mysteries on a tour of the south coast that also includes Dyrhólaey rock and its local puffins and an action-packed hike across Sólheimajökull glacier where you’ll need to navigate crevasses and a vertical ice wall climb.

The Golden Circle

Explore some of Iceland’s most dramatic scenery.

Encompassing the south and southwest of Iceland, the Golden Circle contains some of the country’s most dramatic and iconic geography; from Þingvellir National Park and the Gullfoss waterfall to the geothermal geysers of Haukadalur and the enormous spread of Langjokull Glacier.

The Diamond Circle

An expedition into Iceland’s unknown north.

Even more otherworldly than its southern neighbor, the Diamond Circle – in the less-visited North of Iceland – contains such spectacles as Goðafoss (the waterfall of the gods), sprawling Myvatn Lake, and the echoing, black-red rocks of Hljóðaklettar.

The Westman Islands

The last eruption on this moody archipelago happened in 1973.

The remote, volcanic archipelago of Vestmannaeyjar contains an evocative museum documenting the eruption which destroyed much of the original settlement. Explore red mountains and watch for whales. Or tread the black beaches of Isole Vetsman before enjoying some of the country’s most innovative cuisine.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT ICELAND LUXURY TOURS

What does an Iceland luxury vacation involve? Is Iceland safe to visit? Read on for answers to commonly asked questions about luxury travel in Iceland. Alternatively, find out how to make a booking , have a look at our FAQs , or learn about our Book With Confidence  flexible travel plan.

1. WHAT DOES A LUXURY TOUR INVOLVE?

When you book a luxury trip to Iceland, you get the best experiences, hotels and services included in the package price. Your luxury tour comes with private VIP airport transfers, stays in suites or deluxe rooms at premium hotels, and a private driver-guide to help you see Iceland from a local perspective.

Your private guide will know all the top attractions and hidden gems. They will share their insider knowledge and passion for Iceland with you, ensuring you have an authentic and personal experience.

Plus, Nordic Visitor can tailor your trip with experiential activities such as helicopter rides, spa treatments and super jeep expeditions. Whatever your tastes, we can craft a tailor-made itinerary to suit you.

2. IS ICELAND SAFE TO VISIT?

Iceland has been one of the best success stories in terms of handling the Covid-19 pandemic. The government implemented a rigorous policy of tracing, testing and isolating. Because of this, Iceland has had one of the lowest number of coronavirus cases in Europe.

You can keep on top of our  travel updates for Iceland and our other Northern European destinations to find out if you are eligible to visit. Additionally, discover what to expect on your trip with our travel safety advice  and plan your trip with confidence thanks to our flexible booking terms . 

It's good to note that Iceland has a strong healthcare system and one of the lowest crime rates in the world. Iceland ranks highly every year in the indexes for the safest, happiest and most peaceful countries . You’ll be made to feel welcome in Iceland. The locals are used to travellers and tend to be very friendly!

Iceland does have active volcanoes, but eruptions occur once every 4 years on average. The island also sees minor seismic activity, but noticeable earthquakes are rare and the Icelandic Met Office keeps a good eye on such issues.

If you come to Iceland on a Nordic Visitor tour, both your personal travel consultant and private guide will be locals. Rest assured they will stay on top of these matters, as well as changing weather reports, to keep you safe throughout your trip.

3. WHEN IS THE BEST TIME OF YEAR TO VISIT ICELAND?

The wonderful thing about Iceland holidays is that there is no “bad time” to go. Every season has its own charm, with most of the top sites available to visit year-round.

Explore Iceland in the summer (June to August) and you’ll get to experience the midnight sun phenomenon. The daylight hours are so long that you’ll have plenty of time to see the beautiful landscapes in all their glory. You can also venture into the highlands as the better weather means the roads will be open.

The shoulder months (May and September) are a great alternative if you want to enjoy fairly long daylight hours but with fewer visitors at this time of year. As summer is so popular, spring and autumn are ideal for travelling during slightly quieter periods.

Then there’s the winter (October to April), which offers a host of special activities – including hunting for the northern lights. You can also go ice caving and snowmobiling, or soak up the magical atmosphere of the festive period. And you can’t help but fall for Iceland’s snowy scenery and frozen waterfalls.

For a detailed look at your options, read our blog article on when you should visit Iceland .

4. WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO SEE THE NORTHERN LIGHTS?

The best time to see the northern lights in Iceland is during the winter, between October and April. That’s because, at this time of year, the nights are dark enough to see them dancing in the skies above.

For the best chance of viewing the lights, visit secluded areas away from the light pollution of the towns and cities, as darker conditions make it easier to spot them.

If you’ve already got a tour but now need to change your dates, contact your travel consultant as soon as possible to rearrange your package.

11. WHEN SHOULD I ORGANISE MY FLIGHTS?

We recommend that you book your Nordic Visitor tour first to secure your preferred dates before buying your flights. Do search for flights in the meantime so you know what’s available, but wait to purchase them until after your travel consultant has confirmed your tour booking.

By securing your Iceland holiday first, you get introduced to your dedicated travel consultant and you will receive all of your tour details. This means you can make a more informed choice when reserving flights in and out of Iceland. If you have any questions you can always contact us for advice.

12. WHAT SHOULD I PACK FOR MY LUXURY TOUR?

Since Iceland’s weather is as changeable as its landscape, we highly recommend you pack for all conditions. If you visit in winter, make sure to bring plenty of warm layers for the cold temperatures. If you are coming in the summer, an eye mask will help you sleep during the light nights.

Here are our top recommendations on what to bring to Iceland:

  • A lightweight jacket
  • Wool sweater
  • Waterproof jacket and trousers
  • Sensible footwear with good grip
  • Gloves, scarves and thermal socks
  • A swimsuit and sandals
  • Sunscreen and insect repellent in the summer months
  • An insulated coat and thermal layers in the winter months

You also might want to bring smarter outfits for dining out in Reykjavík. A swimsuit is another key item if you want to go hot spring bathing in Iceland, especially at the luxurious Blue Lagoon Retreat. If you forget anything though, don’t worry. Your guide will help you find it here in Iceland!

Iceland Beautiful Cities & Towns

Apart from wild nature, there is much more to discover on this European charm. From charming cities to small towns, Iceland is a full-fledged vacation package. Beginning with Reykjavik keep aside at least two days to explore this city, which is popularly known for its vibrant seaside location.

Another Icelandic city that is going to make the trip special is Akureyri. Known popularly as the capital of North Iceland, it is located on the opposite side of Reykjavik. Set among the range of some beautiful mountains, Akureyri is where whale watching is famous for whale watching.

Another piece of beauty in Iceland is Hvammstangi town. It is built only with 580 people and is one of the most fascinating to stop by along the way to the Ring Road. It is the impeccably beautiful location with perfectly appealing hills on one side and the perfectly appealing hills on another that makes this place a must-visit on Iceland tours.

The Volcanoes

Throughout the world, Iceland is believed to have the most numbers of active volcanoes. This is the result of the country's location situated between two tectonic plates. Every five years, there is one volcanic eruption in the country with 30 volcanoes active throughout the year. Don't worry, they won't cause any harm in most cases! Most Icelandians call them “the tourist eruptions” and they cause no harm to humans. Indeed, they provide plenty of opportunities for clicking pictures on the trip. But, in a few cases, there has been destruction causing disruptions in air travel throughout the world. The best of all the volcanoes to be visited on the trip are Helka, Öræfajökull, and Eyjafjallajökull. Apart from this, Snæfell is also another volcano covered with a gigantic glacier that can't be missed on the trip.

National Parks in Iceland

Three National parks are famous in this part of Europe! The biggest of the three has been built from five separate parks.

Þingvellir National Park: The National park has the longest history. It was recognized as UNESCO World Heritage sites for being the place where the oldest existing Parliament was built. The park also houses the largest lakes in the country. Adventurers get an opportunity to scuba dive and snorkel here between the two tectonic plates.

The second one is the Snæfellsjökull National Park is the only park in the country that is located around the coastline. This park offers a landscape where it's great to spend time on the beach, visit the lava cave and enjoy being in the glaciers.

The last one is the Vatnajökull National Park and it is the biggest parks in entire Europe. From here one can visit the highest Iceland mountain and also many waterfalls including Svartifoss, and Dettifoss.

Waterfalls in Iceland

It would be hard to cut down on the list of waterfalls to visit here in Iceland. With some lovely mountains and rainfall ranging from 20 to 80 inches, it's best to visit the beautiful waterfalls in Iceland tours.

The beautiful waterfalls offer a great many scenic charms! The glacial falls that come out from the canyons and fall beautifully into the lap of the sandy beaches are the best parts of visiting the waterfalls here.

Some of the best waterfalls include Selfoss, and Godafoss. While Dettifoss is the largest of all Selfoss is horseshoe-shaped and Godafoss also known as “the Waterfall of the Gods”.

The Northern Lights

Those who are visiting Iceland dusting winters, the northern lights are the perfect things for them. The Northern lights can be seen throughout the country from early April to late September. But, it's not sure that one can actually see them or not. Of those, who wish to see the southern lights must give a few days here in the country to witness this charismatic thing. Most of Iceland travel agents suggest going far-off from the city where there's only least light pollution. This can give the best view of the northern lights. One of the places that offer the perfect view of these lights is the Pingvellir National Park.

Hiking: An Important Part of Iceland Tours

Hiking is recommended particularly for those who wish to see a significant part of the exciting landscape of the country. There are plenty of walking trails that go along some of the most incredible ecosystems. Some of these hiking trails can lead to glacial ice fields, black sand deserts, and lava fields. There’s an incredibly great number of hiking terrains in the country. And, these hikes can take a few hours to weeks. So, most expert Iceland travel agents recommend researching in advance about the hiking trail one is going to undertake.

Drive Around the Ring Road

Road tripping is one of the best ways to discover Iceland's natural beauty, and you can easily take in most of the country by following one road.The Ring Road will be your main route. But, there are many secondary roads that break off from the highway leading to local villages and attractions worth taking in along the way.

Here’s the Best time to Plan Iceland Tours

For its location by the side of oceans, Iceland makes one European country where the weather fluctuates drastically. While the best time to visit Iceland apt for all types of travelers is; May to September, the weather conditions for different types of travelers are different. Let's see how.

A Brief Description of the Best Time to Visit Iceland

For some people, winters may be good to visit Iceland. But, the temperature can go even below -30 Degree, particularly between December to February being the most chilly months.

For those who want to see the Great Northern lights on their Luxury, Iceland tours must visit the country between September to April.

The months falling between December to January lack considerably in daylight; it's not a problem for the aurora seekers. But, the lack of light could be a problem for the outdoor adventurer and keen photographers.

In the months of June&July, midnight Sun appears and it can be fun for many. But, only for a few earlier days until one needs an eye mask.

August is the time when night starts taking a darker turn. From September to June most of the roads are closed because of ice and snow.

Also, note that during the months of February&March many organizations offer wildlife photography excursion and run boat tours. So, this is the best time of the year for those who want to dive a little deeper into the magic this place is.

Best Tips to find Accommodations in Iceland

There are numerous types of accommodations in Iceland one can choose from according to their convenience. From cheap hostels and camping grounds to budget breakfast and beds to luxurious hotel apartments and 4-star hotels, there is no dearth of options to choose from. But, don't look for 5-star hotels because there's none in this part of Europe. Let's discuss in brief on how to find the best accommodations on Iceland vacation.

Mostly in the countryside, there are only boutique hotels which are quite small. These are particularly located in the areas where the population is only around a few hundred. And, obviously, these hotels are not made to fit in large groups of people. So, these hotels are not meant for those who are looking out for group stays.

Irrespective of the size of the population (small) of the country, tourism in the country is flourishing with visitors influx increasing every year. Consequently, the number of hotels are also increasing with each passing year.

All this makes out that the mid-sized hotels get filled up very quickly. Our luxury tour agents advise that those who are looking out to travel in groups should book hotels a year in advance. Particularly if the plans are to travel during the Summers.

The other way out is to split into smaller groups and choose old-fashioned or luxurious, but expensive accommodation.

Most Luxury Iceland travel agents suggest not leaving it for the end moment because the closer it gets nearer to summer the chances of finding better accommodations diminishes.

An Iceland vacation makes the perfect long-weekend holiday. With icy glaciers to volcanic deserts to the black sand beaches, every part of the country is beautiful. It's an apt location and the cheap flights that Iceland tours are great to have great fun. But, before planning a trip to Iceland know these important things about the country.

The cost of food here may move about unbelievably high. It’s is more expensive than in cities like New York. Even a simple dinner can cost more than lavish & luxurious dinner in many of the countries.

One may feel that the water is smelling quite gross, but don't worry it's safe to drink. Sometimes the water will smell like rotten eggs, but the taste is absolutely normal and consuming the water won't cause any harm.

There are buses that travel through different Iceland tourist sites. At every site, one can see big crowds all of which come here to see the natural wonders of the place.

Don't get confused by seeing a bunch of cranes at every part of the country. This is because of the incessant growth of tourism in the country resulting in construction sites at every corner of the country.

There are only a few bathrooms and they may also charge a little high to use them. Most of the top tourist attractions are located too far away from each other. So, make sure planning out pee breaks.

Travel healthy! Travel Safe!

Health on iceland tours.

Most Luxury tour agents recommend having knowledge of available vaccines. But, don't worry, there's a need to get immunized before traveling to Iceland.

The Great thing about the country is that the air is clean with almost no bacteria in the air. Water here is also the cleanest in the world. But, one should make sure that the water is coming from a clean source.

Health issues are going to be minimum. And, one is safer as he ascends up.

One must wear good quality boots to be safe from getting blisters. And, be vigilant while moving through the high cliffs and rough paths. Lip balms and lotion are significant items for fighting dryness.

Safety on Iceland Tours

Ask anyone who is an experienced traveler about the safest country on the Earth to travel. The answer is undoubtedly going to be in Iceland. No pick-pocketing, no kidnappings, no attacks of any type, nothing.

But, there's another kind of threat here and that's because of the volcanic eruptions. This makes out that it is one of the most unsafe places in the world.

Apart from volcanoes, tidal waves, earthquakes, blizzards, glacier outbursts, and an avalanche can be the possible threats on Iceland tours.

Know People Before planning Iceland Tours

According to the tradition of Icelanders, there is a hidden group of people who are known as huldufólk. In Reykjavík, there is a museum built to celebrate these hidden people. This belief is entrenched in the traditions of Iceland from last many years.

Don't get mistaken! While the first impression that comes about the people of Island is rude and unfriendly, but that's not actually true. Majority Icelanders are helpful and friendly.

According to the general etiquette in Island, a person requires taking off his/her shoes before entering someone's home.

The country does not follow the system of tipping. While a few hotels and organizations have started keeping a tipping jar near the cash register, people don't actually bother about it.

Unlike in other parts of Europe, people in the country are not that punctual. They won't come for a meeting or party before 15 minutes past the actual time.

Be vigilant before starting any discussion on a global crisis or something because that's a very emotionally upheaving issue for Islanders. The banking crisis has been on high in Iceland and people have suffered a lot.

Best of Iceland

The trip was great but was not really as advertised. It worked out but could have gone badly because it was not well described in the trip description

5 Day - Snaefellsnes, South Coast and Northern Lights

I did a two and three day combo tour with my 11 year old daughter. It was packed with so many things to do. This tour was a great mix of action and sightseeing. Our guides were so friendly, knowledgeable, and fun! Highly recommend!

Iceland Discovery Tour

Iceland Discovery

Overall a great journey with a fantastic guide and wonderful experienced travelers. Stefan our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable about Iceland’s history and natural resources. He masterfully and safety manuvered our bus through icy mountain roads and muddy trails to reach our daily objectives. Our accomodations were adequate and comfortable with complimentary breakfasts in the morning. Our guide made frequent rest stops and ensured our meal requirements were met with several options. He gave us sufficient time to explore each attraction after his explanation of their significance. He made a smooth transition to our accomodations each evening and assisted with luggage. Great communications and coordination between Tourradar/Intrepid Tours and the traveler. I will definately book another tour with you in the future!

8 Days Guided Iceland Circle Tour

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.

7 Days Self-drive | Golden Circle, South Coast, Snæfellsnes and Reykjavik Tour

7 Days Self-drive | Golden Circle, South Coast, Snæfellsnes and Reykjavik

We were so pleased with the itinerary for our 7 day self-drive tour. It allowed enough flexibility for us to detour at will and still visit key sites. The nightly accommodations were clean and comfortable (if you don't mind single beds) and breakfast was plentiful at each hotel (although the coffee should come with a warning - not so good at the hotels - except Fosshotel Baron in Reykjavik was pretty good by comparison). While weather interrupted one day's plan, our agent suggested alternatives and we were able to enjoy the day. It was an exceptional trip for a reasonable price. Of course, we have to go back because 7 days isn't enough to truly see Iceland. Will use TourRadar again!!!

10 day Guided tour | Iceland Complete - Small Group

The Iceland Complete-Small Group tour showed the incredible variety of the different parts of Iceland. From multi-varied waterfalls to active volcanoes and extensive glaciers. Each day’s itinerary was interesting and spectacular. The driver was a mine of information and I couldn’t have wished for a better trip. ????

8 Days Self-drive | Around Iceland Ring Road Tour Tour

8 Days Self-drive | Around Iceland Ring Road Tour

Only one miss: the apartmentbuilding on the second night in Akureyri was a bad experience. They had gone to selfservice in May, a sign on the door said, and every guest needed a code for self-checkin. I had no code. Luckily people were inside, so I could call the owners. But no info on the neighborhood, where to eat, stuff like that. Room was ok, but barely could open any window.

The Volcanic Trails Tour

The Volcanic Trails

I did the Volcanic Trails trek during July and I have to say it was really great! Our group was really nice (thirteen people, seven solo travellers like me, range of age groups and nationalities). I did the Laugavegur last year and wanted to do another trek in Iceland. This one was, I think, slightly more challenging, but the views and scenery were better. Iceland is just heart breakingly beautiful, it’s just magical and otherworldly. The huts were good, but basic. Food was good and we were well looked after by our guide, Jon, who took good care of us and helped make this trek such a good one! Thanks to Jon and thanks to Icelandic Mountain Guides for a great adventure!

Reviews of Small Group tours to Iceland

The tour run by Arctic Adventures was very good. The 2nd and 3rd nights of the tour were at Arctic Adventures hotels. Both hotels were substandard, peeling paint, noxious smells, etc. Arctic Adventures is their brand and it made their brand looked cheap.
I can't say enough good things about our Best of Iceland Tour. Gisli Anton Bjarnason was the best tour guide we've ever experienced! We thoroughly enjoyed our week!
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!!
