Holidays to Iceland
On our holidays to Iceland, we will explore the array of landscapes characterised by waterfalls, geysers, volcanoes, black sand beaches and steaming lava fields.

From the Blue Lagoon to the city of Reykjavík, trips to Iceland include everything you want for every kind of holiday. The mesmerising natural geothermic spa is extraordinary and the capital presents architecture everyone can enjoy. We’ll also take the Golden Circle tour, visiting Gullfoss waterfall, Thingvellir National Park, active geysers and more.
An Iceland holiday wouldn’t be complete without the opportunity to see the Northern Lights. The incredible Aurora Borealis is an utterly unique experience, creating memories that will last a lifetime. Visit Iceland with us to explore this one-of-a-kind country, it’s amazing scenery and natural phenomenon.

Top Places To Visit & Tourist Attractions In Iceland
Blue Lagoon
The Blue Lagoon, a man-made geothermal spa, is located in a lava field on the Reykjanes Peninsula. The geothermal water originates 2,000 metres below the surface, where freshwater and seawater combine at extreme temperatures. It is then harnessed via drilling holes at a nearby geothermal power plant, to create electricity and hot water. On its way to the surface, the water picks up silica and minerals, before emerging at a soothing 38°C, perfect for a relaxing bathe. Our holidays to Iceland include day trips to the Blue Lagoon, with plenty of time for us to soak in the revitalising waters.
The Golden Circle
The Golden Circle is a driving route that offers some of the most stunning views of Iceland’s unique landscape. On this full day excursion, we’ll visit the UNESCO listed Thingvellir National Park, the site of a magnificent rift valley that marks the crest of the Mid Atlantic Ridge, and the home of the largest natural lake in Iceland. Next, we’ll see the spectacular Gullfoss or ‘Golden’ waterfall, named for the golden-brown colour of the water on a sunny day. Our last stop will be the active geothermal valley of Haukadalur to witness incredible spouting geysers.
Reykjavik
Reykjavík, the world’s northernmost capital, has a population of just 120,000. Known as the ‘Little city with the big heart’, this quaint city can be easily explored on foot. But don’t let its small size fool you, Reykjavík is a buzzing city with a lively café-culture and thriving art and music scenes. On our trips to Iceland, we’ll explore the highlights of Reykjavík including The Pearl visitor centre with its Saga Museum, Hallgrímskirkja Church, Reykjavík Harbour, Reykjavík 101 Centre and Solfar Viking Ship Sculpture. We’ll also learn about Iceland’s culture and history with the help of an expert, local guide.
The Northern Lights
The main event on any trip to Iceland is the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity of seeing the Northern Lights. On our holidays to Iceland, we’ll enjoy an evening excursion to hunt for the incredible Aurora Borealis, a stunning colourful natural display that lights up the night sky. This elusive and unpredictable occurrence is never guaranteed but our experienced guides are the best in the business when it comes to analysing the weather patterns and atmospheric conditions to determine the best time and place to see the lights.
Iceland Holiday FAQs
Do I require a holiday visa to travel to Iceland?
All visitors to Iceland must carry a valid passport. EU citizens do not need a visa. Non-EU citizens should check their requirements. UK citizens can find further information by visiting www.gov.co.uk
Will I be met at the airport when I arrive in Iceland?
Yes, you will be met at Keflavik airport. The approximate journey time to your hotel in Reykjavík from Keflavik is approximately 40 minutes.
What should I pack for my holiday in Iceland?
For travel outside the (cool-ish) summer period (June to September) it’s wise to wear plenty of warm layers. Winter temperatures vary between -10C and +10C and the wind chill factor cannot be underestimated. We recommend packing the following items for our trips to Iceland:
- Wind and rain-proof coat
- Wool socks and sturdy walking shoes / boots
- Warm hat, scarf & gloves
- Thick woollen jumpers and fleece lined clothing
- Bathing suit for the Blue Lagoon or other outdoor bathing venues
- Your reusable water bottle : the tap water in Iceland is excellent, and it’s free!
Is it safe to tour Iceland?
Iceland is regarded as a safe place. However, at any destination popular with tourists there can be opportunists and pickpockets. It is wise to be vigilant and always take good care of your personal belongings. Make use of the safe at your hotel, and carry a photocopy of your passport when out and about.
What kind of plugs / sockets are used in Iceland?
In Iceland the power sockets are of type C and F. These are the two prong outputs. The standard voltage is 230 V and the standard frequency is 50 Hz. To avoid any issues upon arrival we always recommend travelling with a universal adapter.
What advice do you have for tipping in restaurants while in Iceland?
Tipping is not customary in Iceland. More often than not there will be a service charge on your restaurant bill. However, if you are happy with the service and would like to tip, the recommended amount is 10%.
Is Iceland expensive?
Iceland can be expensive. For everyday purchases, look out for Bónus, a basic supermarket chain where essentials can be bought at more realistic prices than in convenience stores. Quirky mementos of your visit and good prices can be found at the Kolaportið weekend flea market in Reykjavik’s Old Harbour area. Also worth checking out is the Red Cross thrift shop on Laugavegur Street. Look out for afternoon/evening ‘Happy Hour’ in bars and restaurants, for discounted beer and wines.
When is the best time to see the Northern Lights in Iceland?
Whilst sightings of the Northern Lights are subject to weather and atmospheric conditions and cannot be guaranteed, usually the best time to see the Northern Lights is between October and April.
