Iceland Honeymoon Tours
3 Most Popular Honeymoon Destinations in Iceland
- Reykjavik: As the capital of Iceland, there is plenty that this city can offer lovers on honeymoon packages in Iceland. During the day, soak in the culture at Perlan, treat yourselves, or buy some thank-you gifts for loved ones on the colorful Laugavegur Street, and take some pictures at the iconic Sun Voyager art installation. When the sun sets head out on a yacht from the harbor to view the Northern Lights from the water. Find a list of tours in Reykjavik in Bookmundi.
- Vatnajökull: Vatnajökull is the biggest glacier in Iceland and also serves as one of its national parks. Stay in one of the many lodges and cabins dotted around the park, or stay in a hotel in one of the nearby towns such as Kirkjubæjarklaustur and Höfn. Enjoy the spectacular ice caves, or try ice kayaking or snowmobiling if you are feeling adventurous. Take the perfect honeymoon photos for your wall in front of the stunning Svartifoss waterfall with its roaring cascade and iconic dark lava columns.
- Vík í Mýrdal: Vík í Mýrdal, otherwise known as Vík is a small coastal village packed with charm. With its black basalt beaches, breathtaking natural cliff and rock formations, and lush carpets of grass and wildflowers in the warmer months, the Vik tour makes for a perfect quiet idyll for a romantic honeymoon. Those looking for a bit more excitement can explore the nearby Katla ice caves, or head out in a boat on the Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon.
Highlights of Iceland Honeymoon Tours
- Dip into the waters of the Blue Lagoon, Iceland’s natural geothermal spa. Treat yourselves to a rejuvenating mud mask and an in-water massage and let any post-wedding stresses melt away.
- Take in the stunning scenery and natural landscapes of Iceland together by visiting one of its four National Parks. They all have something different to offer, from cascading waterfalls, verdant fields, glassy glaciers, and even pitch-black lava fields!
- Marvel at the majesty of the world’s largest creatures and create memories that you won’t forget by heading on a whale-watching trip from Faxaflói or Skjalfandi Bay.
- Get in the saddle and take in the breathtaking scenery of Iceland on horseback with a horse riding tour. Trek up the mountains on your trusty steed, or make your way through some of the otherworldly lava fields created by the country’s many volcanos.
Travel Tips for Honeymoon Tours in Iceland
- Make sure to wrap up warm for your honeymoon in Iceland. It might look stunning with bright sunshine, but don’t let this fool you as it can still be rather cold even in the summer months!
- Take a GoPro with you to make sure you can take the best shots to remember your honeymoon. Rather than needing to get your phone out over and over again, its durable nature means it can keep up with the varied terrain and settings you head to on your Iceland honeymoon tour, including the water!
- Expect to travel to get to your honeymoon destination or to the main stopping points on your honeymoon tour of Iceland. Although there are good public transport links within the capital, Reykjavik, renting a car is almost a necessity if you stay or travel elsewhere.
- Beat the crowds and get some welcome seclusion by picking a smaller destination for your Iceland honeymoon. Selfoss is a small community incredibly close to stunning locations such as Thingvellir National Park with its picturesque waterfalls and breathtaking mountain views, crystalline glaciers, and the Thrihnukagigur Volcano.
- Spend your money wisely when on honeymoon packages in Iceland, as although the country is beautiful, it is one of the most expensive when it comes to purchasing goods and services! Try to get the best currency exchange deal you can before traveling and apply for tax refunds where possible on items to make your money go further.
