VISITING ICELAND FROM CANADA

When you’re travelling to Iceland all the way from Canada, isn’t it nice to have your travel arrangements taken care of for you? Especially by someone local? At Nordic Visitor, a travel agency headquartered in Reykjavík, we strive to offer only the best travel experiences in Iceland for our clients from around the world.

And with an ever-growing number of direct flights to Iceland from major Canadian airports, it’s never been easier to visit this fascinating island. Flights times to Keflavík International Airport are just under 6 hours from Toronto and 8 hours from Vancouver.

Starting from the moment you step out of the airport, you’ll be surprised by how quickly the scenery changes in Iceland and how many natural attractions you can experience in a short time. With just a stopover in Reykjavík you can visit the popular Blue Lagoon geothermal spa and the famous sights of the Golden Circle route. In a week or more around the Ring Road you’ll come across waterfalls, iceberg lagoons, volcanic beaches, hot springs, lava fields and more.

Nordic Visitor has a wide variety of vacation packages in Iceland for all seasons, including self-drive tours and city breaks that can be tailored, privately guided and small group tours. All itineraries are designed to be well-structured yet personalised, and you’ll have your own dedicated travel consultant at your service before, during and even after your tour. For extra peace of mind, all clients have access to our 24/7 helpline while travelling in Iceland.

As local travel experts in Iceland, we always go the extra mile to ensure you're safe on the road. With all self-drive tours, we provide a brochure on driving in Iceland, a road map marked with your route, accommodations and highlights, unlimited in-car Wi-Fi and more. We also provide 4x4 car rental options, which we especially recommend for winter driving.

Why not visit neighbouring Greenland while you’re in Iceland? Nordic Visitor can combine both countries in one tour, with flights between Iceland and Greenland included.

Iceland Full Circle Classic - Winter, November 2023

We had an amazing time

We cannot recommend our tour enough. We had an amazing time and have already told friends and family about it. Iceland is an amazing place and I am sure we will be back and will use Nordic Visitor again!

James, United States

Iceland Full Circle Classic, September 2023

Experience of a lifetime

I primarily wanted to use Nordic Visitor as a resource for creating our 14-day trip itinerary, to help weed through what seemed to be an endless array of choices, and to help us to get the very most out of our time in Iceland. Yes, we could have pieced it together ourselves but I needed an advocate in Iceland, an advisor, and maybe a resource for us if issues were to arise. That piece of mind was important to my wife and me and I'm glad we chose them to frame our trip. It made it much easier to piece in the parts that were important to us to see and experience. That allowed us to just enjoy the trip and not get bogged down in the details of planning each and every moment.

There are so many things I could say about our experience, an experience of a lifetime and after posting snippets of our trip on social media I have found that several friends of mine want to know how we planned this trip. I told them the same thing I am saying here, save a little money if you want and plan it yourself or trust a reliable source like Nordic Visitor and let them give you the trip framework and essential advice. I would do it the same way if I were doing it over.

Winter Highlights - Private, November 2023

Warm and engaging guide

Great tour. The sights are of course amazing and the tour made the most of our time, weather and our interests/priorities. Driver and guide David managed all of these very well. He was also very knowledgeable and personally warm and engaging. Could not have asked for more.

Jerine, Canada

Natural Wonders of Iceland, August 2023

Perfect for solo traveller

A beautiful itinerary, exceptional guide and perfect weather made this a trip I will never forget. Nordic Visitor made the process easy, and Iceland opened her arms. My 10-day small group tour was perfect for a solo traveller who wanted to see it all. 

Kimberly, Canada

Iceland Road Trip, October 2023

Trip of a lifetime

Overall this was an amazing experience! A trip of a lifetime that I could never have planned myself. Any questions I had during planning were answered faster than expected and I felt safe and well looked after during the trip. Trip was smooth and hassle free.

Patricia, United States

Scenic South Iceland, August 2023

5-star experience

Not only did we absolutely love every stop on the Scenic South Iceland tour, but prior to the tour we stayed for 4 days in Reykjavík. I appreciated Nordic Visitor's recommendations for things to do and places to eat there and felt highly supported by Marko, our travel consultant, in every regard to booking our flight and own hotel, day trips I was interested in, and taking public transport around. A definite 5-star experience!

David, Australia

Iceland Full Circle Classic - Winter, October 2023

Many thanks to Nordic Visitor

Absolutely amazing. No issues whatsoever. We saw it all from North to South and much of in between. From reindeer to whales and more beautiful waterfalls and volcanic bits than you could hope to see in a week. Every hour the scenery seemed to change dramatically. Just a great experience. Many thanks to Nordic Visitor.

Robert, United States

Romance Around Iceland, July 2023

Best vacation we have had

Everyone at Nordic Visitor were very responsive to all questions we had during our 30-year anniversary trip to Iceland. We had airline travel issues and the representative adjusted our itinerary so we were able to see the whole island. The accommodation were beautiful and everyone was so friendly. This was the best vacation we have had, we left Iceland relaxed!
