Iceland Tours

Iceland is truly amazing in any season. Summer (June to August) is peak season and is a great time to visit and take advantage of the long daylight hours, experience the midnight sun and the warmer weather. Some areas of Iceland are also more accessible during those warmer summer months. However to see the Aurora Borealis, or Northern Lights, the sky must be dark so the best chance of experiencing this is from September until March when it is dark from 6pm. Low season is considered to be January to May so prices are most competitive during those months.

That's a tough one. Iceland is a magnificent country to explore and there are a variety of Icelandic itineraries to choose from. If you only have a few days, then don't overlook a short trip to Reykjavik, an exciting destination in itself. 7 days will give you the opportunity to visit the must see attractions including Geysir, Thingvellir and Gullfoss and give you a feel for the local culture and lifestyle. A longer itinerary will enable you to experience areas not so frequently visited and fully absorb the beautiful Icelandic coastline, immense glaciers and Fjords. You can even book a cruise and tour combo to explore Greenland and Scotland as well. 

The weather in Iceland during summer can be sunny and warm although average temperatures are only between 10 and 17 degrees. This would certainly feel warm after an Icelandic winter, but if you're travelling from Australia it's going to feel, chilly so pack some layers. 

Winters in Iceland are obviously cold with average temperatures often hovering around zero degrees Celsius. Add to that the wind chill factor and you will certainly do well to pack good quality winter, outdoor clothing. January is generally considered to be the coldest month of the year. Spring arrives in April along with many migrating birds such as the famous puffins.
