Iceland

The Northern Lights dancing across a sky full of stars, a glacier hike above a volcanic plain, geysers erupting every few minutes, and waterfalls that drop directly into the ocean — Iceland is unlike anywhere else on earth.

Country overview
Fire, Ice and the Northern Lights

Iceland sits on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge — the boundary between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates — and the landscape reflects this extraordinary geological position. Glaciers cover 11% of the country. There are over 200 volcanoes. Hot springs bubble from the ground and geysers erupt on schedule. The light in summer never fully disappears. In winter, the Northern Lights are among the most spectacular natural phenomena on earth.

Our tours visit Iceland in both seasons — the winter aurora tours run from December to March, and the summer Ring Road adventure runs from June to August. Both offer completely different but equally extraordinary experiences of this remarkable country.

Northern Lights
The Aurora Borealis dancing across Iceland's dark winter sky — our guides know the best locations and conditions for viewing.
Glacier Hiking
Walk on one of Europe's largest glaciers — crampons on, ice axes in hand — an experience that never loses its impact.
Golden Circle
Þingvellir National Park, the Geysir geothermal area, and Gullfoss waterfall — Iceland's most iconic natural circuit.
Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon
Icebergs calved from the Breiðamerkurjökull glacier floating in a lagoon before drifting out to sea — one of the most surreal landscapes in the world.

What travelers say about Iceland
★★★★★4.9 · 121+ reviews
★★★★★
"Iceland in December — Northern Lights three nights running and a glacier hike on day four. The guide knew exactly where to position us for the best aurora views. Worth every penny."

★★★★★
"The East Fjords in summer — wildflowers, puffins, and no other tourists. Then back west through the Highlands. Iceland is the most extraordinary landscape I have ever seen."

Ring Road Adventure
★★★★★
"Walking on a glacier with crampons for the first time at 10pm in near-daylight. Then Northern Lights at 1am from a hot tub. Iceland delivers the impossible as standard."
