Experience Iceland Day Trips & Sightseeing Tours

Iceland Day Tours Let You Explore Iceland's Diverse Landscape

Iceland may be a relatively small country in terms of its size, but it’s really big on adventure no matter where in the country you chose to go. There is so much to do in Iceland that planning all the details yourself can leave you feeling bogged down and unable to truly enjoy yourself.

Thankfully, you can leave the planning to an experienced tour guide! They will ensure your Iceland days and nights are filled with the most exciting experiences. Many Iceland tours are weather and season dependent, so if you're looking for the best time to go to Iceland, be aware of the following seasonal activities:
• Best time to see the Northern Lights - The northern lights season lasts right through the long winter months and into the start of spring, so plan your trip to see them between September and April. The lights are at their brightest from 9 pm to 2 am on the shortest days.
• Best time to go whale watching – The summer months, April to September, are best for whale watching if you want to catch a glimpse of many of the over 20 species of whales off Iceland’s Arctic and North Atlantic coasts.
• Best time to experience less crowds and great deals – For incredibly reduced rates, plan your Iceland vacation during the shoulder season – the weeks on either side of the summer – when fewer tourists are around. Some attractions might be closed but there will still be plenty to keep you fully occupied.

Whenever you decide to visit Iceland you can make you stay hassle-free by booking Iceland day trips throughout the island nation. Iceland’s capital offer is one of the most popular starting points, offering Reykjavik excursions along the west, south, and east coasts. If you wish to venture outside the city, then your Iceland day tour could include:
