Iceland’s dreamy landscapes and opportunities for indulging in magical activities make it an ideal honeymoon destination. How you choose to explore on one of these romantic tour packages in Iceland is up to you.

You could rent a car and enjoy the flexibility of exploring stunning spots at your own pace on a self-drive tour. Drive around Iceland's Ring Road to experience as much of the country as you can in one trip.

Or focus on one or two regions – like South and West Iceland – to spend longer in each place. Another option is to go off the beaten path and take a road trip around North Iceland and the Westfjords.

On the other hand, opt for a privately guided tour of Iceland and let someone else do the driving. You’ll both be able to relax while your expert local guide takes you to the best spots and shares their in-depth knowledge with you.

Alternatively, you could select an action-packed multi-day Iceland tour. Travelling this way on a shorter trip allows you to make the most of your time in Iceland.

You’ll be based in Reykjavík with time for seeing the sights and experiencing the city’s nightlife. Your package also includes excursions and guided activities in the countryside. Think touring the renowned Golden Circle, snowmobiling together and visiting a glacier ice tunnel.

The best time to take a honeymoon to Iceland depends on what you both enjoy doing, and how you like to travel as a couple. Iceland’s cultural highlights, jaw-dropping scenery and geological attractions make it a wonderful place to visit no matter the time of year.

Summer in Iceland brings milder temperatures, easier road conditions for a self-drive trip, and longer daylight hours compared to the winter.

In fact, with the midnight sun keeping the skies light at night, you can continue exploring until late. There are also more festivals and active excursions to choose from during the summer months. For example, you could go horse riding, enjoy hiking in the highlands and look for puffins.

On the other hand, winter in Iceland brings its own set of charms. Think seeing the sights with fewer visitors around, touring natural ice caves together, and bathing in geothermal pools surrounded by snow. Another major draw of the winter months are the northern lights.

Indeed, witnessing this natural phenomenon together is an experience you’ll both treasure. Plus, if you’re seeking a honeymoon with a touch of festive flair, you could make your it even more magical by choosing an Iceland Christmas tour. Or join the celebrations on a New Year Iceland package.

The shoulder months of May and September are also a good time to go to Iceland. This is because there are less people visiting than during the summer and you’ll get more hours of daylight than in winter.
