Best tour companies for Iceland tours
Looking at these three major Iceland tour companies, each has their own strengths but also some things to watch out for. Arctic Adventures gets consistently good feedback for their guides - people often mention Jonas, Frimann and AEvar Omarsson by name. These guides seem to handle tough weather really well and find ways to make tours work even when conditions aren't perfect. BusTravel Iceland runs a solid operation with comfortable coaches and professional guides who know their stuff. Their tours generally run smoothly, but there's a bit of frustration when it comes to Northern Lights tours - specifically how they handle rescheduling when the lights don't show up. Troll Expeditions, which you'll find on TourRadar, has built quite a reputation for adapting tours based on Iceland's famously changeable weather. Their guides Johann Kari, Gylfi and also Davið get mentioned a lot in traveler feedback for really knowing how to show off Iceland's best spots. One thing to note about Arctic Adventures - while their actual tours are great, they could improve their communication before tours start, and some travelers weren't too happy with their refund policies. It's worth reading the fine print there before booking. What makes these companies stand out is how their guides handle Iceland's unpredictable conditions. They know when to adjust routes, find alternate viewing spots and make smart calls about weather - that's really what you need in a place like Iceland where conditions can change quickly.
Best places to start your Iceland tour
Most people join our Iceland trips starting in Reykjavik, with 60 tours beginning there and another 37 departing from Keflavik near the international airport. We also run some specialized tours from Thingvellir National Park and Egilsstadir in the east. Looking at our booking patterns, you'll want to lock in your dates about 4 months (125 days) ahead since Iceland tours fill up fast - especially in peak season when popular dates can go even earlier. Our travelers tell us summer tours let you explore every corner of the country, while winter brings special chances to check out ice caves and watch for the Northern Lights. Small groups mean you get quality time with local guides who know all the cultural bits and hidden spots. For good deals and fewer crowds, think about May or September when the weather's still nice but the peak crowds haven't arrived or have already left.

Best time to visit Iceland
- Winter 2025 / 2026
Iceland's winter tours really shine when combining Northern Lights with ice cave visits. The Ring Road circuits adapt well to winter conditions, and we've picked hotels specifically for good aurora viewing - many even offer wake-up calls when the lights appear. Our 6-7 day tours cover the Golden Circle's steaming geysers and South Coast landmarks, plus you can go dog sledding, ride snowmobiles on Langjökull glacier and explore the natural ice caves under Mýrdalsjökull. For shorter trips, our 3-4 day winter packages focus on key spots with guides who know the quiet times at Gullfoss, Geysir and also Þingvellir.
- December 2025 120 tours
- January 2026 151 tours
- February 2026 popular 156 tours
- Spring 2026
Spring brings more daylight and warmer days, with chances to see the Northern Lights lasting through early April. The 7-8 day self-drive tours let travelers set their own pace - perfect for photographing ice-free waterfalls or watching birds return to Reynisfjara's cliffs. Our small group tours in spring include special stops like Borgarfjörður's hot springs and local farms where you'll meet newborn lambs. The Ring Road is particularly nice in spring; the roads are clear but summer crowds haven't arrived, so you get peaceful time at Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon and also Lake Mývatn.
- March 2026 168 tours
- April 2026 popular 188 tours
- May 2026 175 tours
- Summer 2026
Summer's endless daylight opens up Iceland's wilderness completely. The Laugavegur Trek shows you everything from rainbow-colored mountains to black sand deserts. Our 8-10 day around-Iceland tours use the long days well, adding stops at Borgarfjörður Eystri for puffins and Stuðlagil Canyon's basalt columns. Many clients mix whale watching in the northern fjords with glacier walks on Vatnajökull. The extended daylight helps our guides time things just right - getting to popular waterfalls early morning or late evening when crowds thin and also when light's perfect for photos.
- June 2026 212 tours
- July 2026 popular 218 tours
- August 2026 217 tours
- Fall / Autumn 2026
Fall paints Iceland in autumn colors and brings more Northern Lights chances as nights get longer. Our 6-8 day Ring Road tours mix the main sites with seasonal treats like spotting wild reindeer in the East Fjords or gathering berries on the Troll Peninsula. You can still hike and enjoy outdoor activities while dealing with fewer tourists at major spots. The photography gets really good in fall - that low sun creates perfect conditions at Kirkjufell mountain and Reynisfjara's black beaches. Many travelers pick fall tours specifically to see both the classic sites and Northern Lights without dealing with deep winter weather and also conditions.

Is there a best time to visit Iceland?
Iceland offers distinct experiences throughout the year - you'll find something incredible no matter when you visit. Summer brings the incredible Midnight Sun from June through August with almost 24 hours of daylight perfect for exploring. You can hike the stunning Laugavegur trail and watch puffins nesting on Dyrhólaey's dramatic cliffs. Winter transforms Iceland from October to April with the magical Northern Lights dancing across the sky. It's prime time for dedicated aurora tours and cruises plus you can explore stunning natural ice caves that are only accessible in winter. The 3 Day Winter Package lets you experience the Golden Circle highlights combined with Northern Lights viewing and an ice cave adventure.
What are the different types of Iceland tours available?
You've got great options that fit different travel styles. Self-drive tours work really well for couples wanting flexibility - you'll get pre-booked hotels and suggested routes but can explore at your own pace. The 8-Day Ring Road Tour is perfect for this. If you're traveling solo and want to meet people, guided group tours offer that social aspect plus expert commentary and seamless logistics. The 10-Day Ring Road Private Tour gives you that complete Iceland experience in winter. Small group tours cap around 16 people which keeps things intimate and personal - try the 7 Day Ring Road & Snæfellsnes Peninsula tour for this style. Short on time? Day tours like the Golden Circle route give you those iconic highlights. The 3 Day Golden Circle South Coast tour with Jökulsárlón and ice cave exploration packs a lot into a shorter trip.
What are some must-do activities in Iceland?
You'll want to experience the natural wonders of the Golden Circle - walk between continents at Þingvellir National Park watch Strokkur geyser erupt and feel the power of Gullfoss waterfall. The 6 Day Around Iceland Adventure covers these perfectly. Head to Vatnajökull National Park to hike Europe's largest glacier or take a boat through the floating icebergs at Jökulsárlón lagoon. The 10 Day Complete Iceland Summer tour lets you experience both. Ice cave exploration offers something truly unique - travelers often call it a once-in-a-lifetime experience. You can explore these on tours like the 3 Day Golden Circle South Coast package. Don't miss soaking in Iceland's geothermal waters at the Blue Lagoon or oceanside Sky Lagoon included in the Premium Iceland tour. In winter chase the Northern Lights and in summer witness Europe's most powerful waterfall Dettifoss on the 6 Day Around Iceland Adventure.
What should I know about driving in Iceland during winter?
Winter driving here needs some serious preparation. Road conditions change quickly with snow ice and strong winds all playing their part. You'll want to rent a proper 4x4 with winter equipment and get familiar with local driving rules and weather alerts. Pack smart - warm clothes flashlight extra food and water for unexpected delays. Keep road.is bookmarked for latest conditions and closures. If winter driving makes you nervous guided tours offer a stress-free alternative. The 7 Days Self-drive Golden Circle tour gives you a pre-planned winter route while the Laugavegur & Fimmvörðuháls Trek focuses on hiking without any driving needed.
