Iceland in Summer

Spending a summer in Iceland means enjoying the legendary midnight sun, when daylight lasts for hours and you can admire Iceland’s natural beauty in all its glory. The summer months are ideal for driving the Ring Road, as the roads are accessible and the landscapes are in full bloom. You can explore the black sand beaches of the south coast, hike up glaciers in Skaftafell National Park or gaze out over the icy icebergs in the Jökulsárlón glacial lake. For nature lovers, a summer road trip around Iceland is an absolute dream.

The Northern Lights in Iceland

If you want to admire the Northern Lights, it’s best to choose a trip to Iceland during the winter months, from September to April. Away from the light pollution of the capital, Reykjavik, the dark Icelandic nights reveal a spectacular display of colours in the sky. On a tour along the Ring Road, you’ll find yourself in remote locations where the Northern Lights can be seen at their most impressive. Our winter tours of Iceland, such as Glorious Glaciers & Northern Lights, have been specifically designed to give you the best chance of witnessing this unforgettable natural phenomenon.

The Golden Circle

The Golden Circle is one of the most popular routes in south-west Iceland and is an absolute must on any round trip. The route takes you past three iconic Icelandic highlights: the geothermal wonderland of the spouting geysers at Geysir, the thundering Gullfoss waterfall and the impressive Þingvellir National Park, where two tectonic plates are drifting apart. Reykjavík, Iceland’s vibrant capital, is the ideal starting and finishing point for this unforgettable day trip. The Golden Circle combines volcanic forces, geothermal activity and breathtaking natural scenery in a single, compact route.

Iceland’s attractions

Discovering Iceland means immersing yourself in a world full of geological wonders. Vatnajökull, Europe’s largest glacier, dominates the east of the island and offers spectacular views and ice caves that are only accessible in winter. In the north of Iceland, Lake Mývatn beckons with its bizarre lava formations and hot springs. The black sand beaches of the south coast, the imposing waterfalls and the geothermal hot springs scattered throughout the country make Iceland a destination that fills every visitor with awe.

Travelling to Iceland by hire car

The freedom of a hire car is the best way to truly experience Iceland. Driving along the Ring Road, you can travel at your own pace from one incredible landscape to the next, without being tied to fixed departure times or group itineraries. Our individual Iceland tours, such as the Ring Road Highlights and the Scenic Reykjavik, include both accommodation and a hire car, so you can set off with complete peace of mind. If you’d also like to explore Iceland’s interior or discover the remote Westfjords, we recommend a 4x4 for the rougher tracks.

South Iceland

Southern Iceland is one of the island’s most fascinating regions, boasting a concentration of highlights that will leave every traveller in awe. From the colourful hot springs and volcanic forces to the vast black sand beaches and the imposing Vatnajökull glacier: Iceland’s highlights are largely to be found in the south. Skaftafell National Park invites you to go for walks past glaciers and waterfalls, whilst the iceberg lake Jökulsárlón offers a surreal scene. On a road trip along the Ring Road through South Iceland, you’ll be left breathless by the unique landscapes that unfold endlessly before you.
