If you have any questions about luggage your Nordic Visitor travel consultant will be able to assist you.

In summer, June to August, you’ll have milder temperatures and longer daylight hours, compared to the winter. This is ideal for outdoor excursions and sightseeing. 

If you’d like to experience the top attractions with fewer visitors around then you could book your summer trip in May or September. These shoulder season months have more tour and attraction availability.

The winter months are also popular, but generally quieter, apart from the Christmas holiday season. This is the ideal time to try to spot the northern lights.

Find out what annual Icelandic events and festivals are on in our travel guide. Or read more about the best time to visit Iceland on our blog.

Because of its northerly location close to the Arctic Circle, Iceland enjoys long days throughout the summer. 

Around the summer solstice, from early June until mid-July, you’ll experience almost 24 hours of daylight. This phenomenon, known as the midnight sun, occurs within the Arctic Circle and is when the sun doesn’t fully set below the horizon. 

These long daylight hours give you plenty of time to drive around and explore. That said, you may want to pack a sleeping mask if you are a light sleeper or tend to wake up at dawn. 

Find out what the daylight hours will be during the month of your visit in this guide to time and daylight in Iceland.

Summer in Iceland is mild and boasts the best weather and longest days of the year. You can expect temperatures of around 10–15°C (50–59°F), with potential lows of 5°C (41°F) and highs of 25°C (77°F). 

It’s good to know that weather conditions are changeable in Iceland, so you should come ready for sun, rain and wind. For more information on the local climate, read the page Iceland weather conditions

Please note that sightseeing is dependent on weather and road conditions. This means that your itinerary might need to be altered if these conditions are not favourable during your visit.

Even in summertime Iceland’s climate can feel cool. As you’ll probably spend a lot of time outdoors, you should be ready for a variety of weather conditions.

Reviews

We don’t like to brag, so we’ll let our happy customers do it for us.

It couldn't have gone smoother

We found Nordic Visitor's Complete Iceland to be both fun and informative. We liked the pace of the tour. All the stops were so interesting and beautiful. It was fun to learn about the life in Iceland. We appreciated Reynir's professionalism and kindness in handling our Covid situation. Our second tour guide, Jon Paul, was also very hospitable, sociable and engaging. Our days with both tour guides were delightful. The trip went very well and it couldn't have gone smoother.

Great service

You were responsive, competent, always on the ball, able to walk me through any concerns, notwithstanding being 16,000km away. You were without doubt the easiest tour folk I have ever dealt with. Your documentation was most useful and appropriate

Excellent tour!

I am so glad I went to Iceland with Nordic Visitor. The Complete Iceland tour was the only tour out of 47 I researched to include the Westfjords. I've been to New Zealand twice for a month, but my three weeks in Iceland was even better! I'm a geology enthusiast and you can't do better than Iceland. The enumerable mountains, cones, waterfalls, and lava flows were enchanting. And then add in the incredible itinerary, comfortable tour bus with Wi-Fi, and guide (Reynir), and it made for a magical trip for my four friends and me. I say this even though I fell into the glacier lagoon outflow and ruined my phone for the rest of the trip. So glad we stayed before and after in Reykjavík as it is a lovely, walkable city. Keep up the excellent work!

Good tour

This was a good tour of a fabulous country. The beauty and majesty of Iceland is incredible, don't miss it. 

Well organised tour!

Everything was so well organised! It was a magnificent tour!

Exceeded our expectations!

The tour exceeded our expectations! Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and open to questions. He went above and beyond to make the experience excellent for everyone on our tour. He was very aware of how long it would take to drive to different places so he kept us on schedule without feeling rushed. The tour of the Westfjords was the highlight for us. The guided boat tour to Vigur Island was a definite highlight. It's important for the tour company to explain to potential travellers that this tour does involve some walking over uneven terrain/surfaces. We had a fellow traveller on our tour with extremely poor mobility and this made it difficult for our guide and the other travellers to accommodate her need to always sit up front, to have the closest accommodation room, etc.
 

Accommodation
