Private Tours & Trips in Iceland
Think Iceland's better experienced at your own pace without group schedules dictating everything? You’re right! Private trips mean flexibility to chase Northern Lights when conditions actually look good, spend extra time wherever captivates you, adjust plans when the weather changes. You still hit major sites like the Golden Circle, South Coast waterfalls, Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon, and Blue Lagoon, but move at your rhythm. Epic sights, relaxing times.

From the beginning to the end the booking and tailor made itinerary was just amazing. The staff at tour radar were very helpful and the Marina tour guide was great. Matti went above and beyond to make sure we had a great day every day regardless of what the weather was trying to do. Would definitely recommend both companies and the location- Iceland was amazing. Thanks for a great experience.
