Activity Holidays in Iceland

Overview

Iceland is a country of wonder and activity. The unique experiences available in the land of ice and fire come about due to its people and its landscape. Lava-spouting volcanoes clash with mighty glaciers, thundering waterfalls cut dramatic gorges through the hillsides. Whether you’re looking for an invigorating activity holiday in Iceland or a unique Icelandic day experience, we’ve got just the ticket.

It’s quite amazing on an island this small just how much diverse landscape you can experience. And what’s more, Iceland provides something for every travellers – whatever time of year you visit. Witness the epic Northern Lights in the winter, go whale watching in the summer or head out on magnificent hikes and soothe your muscles in the natural hot springs in the spring and autumn.

On the hunt for a land shaped by mighty geological forces, there’s nowhere quite like Iceland. But that doesn’t mean you should disregard the cities as boring. Reykjavik in particular crackles with life and boasts a vibrant nightlife scene, often due to the party atmosphere created by the warm, extremely friendly locals.

Our unique experiences and activity holidays in Iceland offer you the best combination of culture and adventure that the country has to offer. Explore Iceland off the beaten path for enriching experiences that will help you create memories that will last a lifetime.

    Best Time to Visit Iceland

    Spring Summer Autumn Winter

    Expect temperatures between 0-10 degrees in Reykjavik and about 10 degrees cooler in the north.

    Springtime in Iceland takes place in the months of April and May. It’s considered a great time for tourists to visit as there is still a chance that you may catch the epic Northern Lights but enjoy milder weather and fewer tourists. Make sure you’re prepared for any kind of weather, from snow and sleet to rain and sun, but in return you’ll be greeted by the Spring colours starting to emerge.

    Expect temperatures between 5-25 degrees from June to August.

    Visit Iceland in summer and you’ll really be able to make the most of your stay. Iceland’s midnight sun happens in summer which means long days, almost no darkness and spectacular sunrises. And with the long days comes warmer temperatures and the country comes alive with festivals and music. This is, as a result, the most popular time to visit so expect crowds and be sure to book your place on tours early.

    Expect temperatures similar to Spring – between 0-10 degrees from September to early November.

    Obviously, it goes without saying that if you want to avoid cooler temperatures in the Autumn, plan a visit around September. You may experience some snow at this time of year but as Autumn emerges, an abundance of colours explodes over the country. However, as the weather starts to cool, some tours may come to the end of their yearly run so be sure to check this in advance.

    Expect temperatures around 0 degrees in Reykjavik but about 10 degrees cooler elsewhere from November to March.

    Despite the much cooler temperatures and dark days, Iceland really comes into its own in the Winter. Warm up in the natural hot springs or get cosy in Reykjavik’s cafe culture. But if nature is more your thing, when you are probably interested in Iceland’s main event – the Northern Lights. Not to mention the natural ice caves, glaciers and incredible winter landscapes.

    • In many cases, less than 10% of the money spent on a holiday actually ends up in the pockets of the local community. Tourism leakage is a serious problem, and it means many people are not able to reap the benefits of the tourism happening in their own back yard. We work with small, local suppliers and ensure that they receive a fair amount for every holiday we sell.

    We protect the environments we visit.

    • The climate is changing, and the travel industry is a key frontier in this battle. On the one hand, pollution from travel, erosion from over-tourism, and waste from careless travelling can make the problem much worse. But on the other hand, travel affords unique opportunities to help people connect with the natural environment in a close-up, personal way, and support locals in protecting their local environment. We are committed to offering experiences that match our sustainability criteria.

    We educate and provide guidance to travellers, hosts and agents.

    • Travel can help build a better world, but it has to be done properly. We are not just finding experiences that are better for local communities and better for the planet. We are committed to helping everyone travel better. From the moment they book with us until the moment they arrive home, we actively help our travellers with resources and guidance. This helps them travel more mindfully, and ultimately, offers a deeper, more rewarding experience.
