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.

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.

Reviews

We enjoyed seeing Iceland

We enjoyed seeing Iceland as a self-drive 18-day tour. Places to stay were pretty much what I expected. Transportation was excellent.

Thank you Nordic Visitor!

Our trip to Iceland through Nordic Visitor was amazing! Everything went so smoothly from beginning to end on our 17-day trip! Nordic Visitor took the worry out of planning in a country we knew nothing about. Knowing that we were taken care of allowed us to relax, have fun and enjoy every moment of our trip of a lifetime! Thank you Nordic Visitor!

Very easy to work with

Overall, we found Nordic Visitor an excellent tour operator that was very easy to work with.

Everything was organised in a perfect manner

From the first minute in Iceland to the last, everything was organised in a perfect manner that we could enjoy our trip and do whatever our minds and hearts wanted to do. The only fixpoint was the accommodation in the evening.

Outstanding

Outstanding. Everything that Nordic Visitor arranged was exactly as they planned and promised. Daniel was very helpful before our departure.

Very impressed with Nordic Visitor

We were very impressed with the customer service that we received. Markó was very responsive to any questions or concerns we had. Also, during the time we were there, the volocano in the south-west was erupting and we immediately got a notification to let us know that Nordic Visitor was monitoring the situation and would let us know if we needed to do anything, which was a relief. I also liked how extensively each day was laid out as to highlights, things not to miss, and recommendations - it gave us lots of options for the day. I would highly recommend this company for visiting Iceland.
