Wonderful tour of Iceland
5 - Excellent
  • Alice Root
“I just wanted to let you know how happy we were with the travel package you and co-workers put together. We had no problems at all with the accommodations, and everything went quite smoothly with the vouchers. The inns were comfortable, and the car arrangements also went well. The extra time near Lake Myvatn allowed me to have a wonderful horseback ride and practice the "tolt" at Hestasport. Thankfully the storms didn't interfere with travel too much. It was a bit of a challenge communicating back and forth for the planning aspect, with the time and date differences, but we had a great trip and enjoyed Island a lot, amazing place! Thanks for your help.”
Outstanding experience: a tour not to be missed!

“We loved the tour: it was very well organized, with a complete and exciting itinerary, that included not only the main attractions but also not touristic and really valuable activities. This wouldn’t have been possible without our tour guide Loftur: extremely knowledgeable and very fun, he was able to adapt the itinerary to any weather condition or preference and the result was simply great. He was also able to connect us with the Icelandic great culture. Highly recommended!”
Amazing Adventure

“Midgard managed to give us all a fantastic 4 day Adventure! No small feat, as our company consisted of my Game-of-Thrones-fan Dad at 70, my white-water rafting guide brother and myself who prefer to run only on man-made paths. We were greeted at Keflavik by Bjrg, saw the Reykjanes peninsula and enjoyed a nice hike incl bathing in a hot spring. Thorir was our guide at the glacier the next day, making me feel safe as a first-time ice climber and at the same time impressing the guys who have done this kind of climbing several times before. Third day with Ingvard to Thorsmork with the big Jeep, crossing rivers, hiking and not catching a wight like John Snow when we too went to Stakkholtsgja Canyon. Last day we again enjoyed the company of Thorir doing the Golden Circle before being dropped off in Reykjavik. Midgard base camp is really nice with good food, comfy beds and great ambiance. We all give our best recommendation to Midgard!”

Iceland - Tour Highlights and Travel Tips

A trip to Iceland is a rare treat. The country has only seen an influx of tourism in the last 15 years or so. As airlines create new routes to the capital city of Reykjavik, the country is building new infrastructure to keep up with the crowds of adventurers rushing to take in all the Nordic island has to offer, especially active holidays and outdoor tours, revealing mother nature at her best!

Iceland’s beauty is unrivalled, hosting every natural wonder you could possibly imagine: cascading waterfalls, gushing geysers, impressive glaciers, and volcanic lakes. The country is paradise for any nature lover.

Tour Highlights

  • Explore Iceland’s Golden Circle, taking in the stunning sights of Thingvellir National Park, the Great Geysir, and the Gullfoss waterfall
  • Spend a relaxing afternoon soaking up geothermal energy from the hot springs at the famous Blue Lagoon
  • Check out the black sand-filled shores in Vik 
  • Catch the glorious Northern Lights between September and March
  • Take in some live music (and stunning architecture) at the Harpa in Reykjavik
  • Climb the tower of the Hallgrímskirkja cathedral for some of the best views of Iceland’s capital city
  • Step behind the powerful waters of Skógafoss for a unique waterfall view

Travel Tips

  • Want to see absolutely everything Iceland’s 100,000 square kilometers have to offer? Iceland group tours allow you to do so within a budget, given the shared transportation costs and group discounts made available by tour operators and businesses in Iceland. 
  • Iceland has no trains and few public buses. Renting a car allows you to make spontaneous stops at hot springs or to take selfies with roadside Icelandic horses. 
  • The Blue Lagoon is most easily visited on your way to or from the airport using a bus transfer that departs every hour.
  • Pack water-resistant clothing and be prepared to dress in layers. It’s key for handling Iceland’s unpredictable weather and controlling your body’s temperature when climbing waterfalls and glaciers.
  • Get ready to expand your taste pallet. Iceland is known for its skyr, an extremely thick high-protein yogurt, and specialties like smoked puffin, reindeer, and whale meat.
  • Visiting in the summer months? Be prepared for constant daylight. Be sure to pack an eye mask to block out the light when sleeping.

Iceland has seasonal weather, so please check the best time to visit Iceland before planning your tour. And if you’re still hunting for more things to do and places to explore in Iceland, do check out our Iceland Travel Guide for more information.

Tours in Iceland - Questions and Answers

  • What is the best month to visit Iceland?

    Given that summer temperatures do not rise much above 16°C, the best time to visit Iceland is between the months of May and September. Gullfoss Waterfall is also at its most impressive at this time of year, and the midnight sun is visible in the country’s north. Travel outside of the summer season and you may find the country’s museums and hiking routes, such as the Laugavegur Trail, closed. However, the period between November to February does have the bonus of being the season of the Northern Lights, and major attractions such as the Blue Lagoon remain open all year round. Find more information here.

  • What currency do they use in Iceland?

    The currency of Iceland is the krona (ISK). It is difficult to exchange your dollars and euros with the Icelandic currencies outside of the country, but easy to do once in the country, both at the airport and in bank branches around the island. USD 1 is equivalent to around ISK 130.

  • Is Iceland expensive to visit? How does the credit card system work? Do I need to carry cash in hand?

    Iceland is one of the most expensive countries in the world to visit, although there are ways to keep costs down, such as by renting a camper van. Overall, visitors should be looking at a daily per-person budget of between USD 100 and USD 200. Most hotels, restaurants, and shops accept credit cards from major providers, and there are no minimum purchase requirements. Since cards are the preferred method of payment, you should be okay even if you avoid carrying cash completely, although having some for emergencies is always a good idea.

  • Do I need a visa to travel to Iceland? Is Iceland safe for me to visit?

    Passport holders from around 60 nations, including the United States, United Kingdom, European Union, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada, do not require a visa to enter Iceland as a tourist. Stays are limited to a maximum of 89 days in any six-month period. If you are coming from or going to another Schengen country, this time must also be included in your allowance. Iceland is incredibly safe with very low crime rates. A bigger concern is ensuring that you pack correctly for a climate that can swing from sunny skies to snow showers in a couple of hours. You can find more information here.

  • Do they speak English in Iceland? Would be better to learn basic communication phrases?

    It is far more unusual to find an Icelander who does not speak English than one who does. It is taught to a very high standard in schools. Icelandic is one of the most difficult languages in the world to get to grips with. If you fancy giving it a go, start with simple but useful phrases such as vinsamlegast (please) and thakka ther fyrir (thank you).
