What people love about Self-Guided Tours in Nordic / Scandinavia
- 12 Days Self-drive | Everything you must see in Iceland Ring Road Tour
A simply outstanding 18 day tour arranged by Marina Tours team. Completely and quickly responsive, flexible, excellent itinerary. Only complaint: Hella Hotel needs to be removed from your network. Not clean, a very old rundown building - we stayed elsewhere at our own expense. All other hotels were wonderful, and also offered really good food & decent wine lists.
- 10 Days Self-drive | In-Depth Iceland Ring Road Tour
We had a well planned self drive around Iceland. Every question I had beforehand and during the trip was quickly responded to. Highlights were zodiac tour of lagoon, glacier hike and puffins. If I were to do again I would add the westman islands to the tour to see puffins and other birds.
- 6-day Kayak & Wild Camp the Archipelago - self-guided
The self-guided trip with Do the North was one of the best holidays that i have been on. The gear provided was of a very good quality and meant that we could enjoy the beautiful scenery without discomfort, despite one day of stormy weather. The support from Thomas was great and I would love to go again.
What our customers ask about Self-Guided Tours in Nordic / Scandinavia
What's the best time of year to take a self-guided tour in Nordic/Scandinavia?
Summer months from June through September provide the most reliable conditions for Nordic self-guided tours with long daylight hours and mild temperatures. The water temperature peaks in August making it an ideal time for activities like kayaking in Sweden's Saint Anna Archipelago. Winter brings its own opportunities especially in Iceland where travelers can spot the Northern Lights though driving requires extra preparation. Local data shows Saint Anna experiences some of Sweden's highest number of sunny days and warmest sea temperatures.
What kind of vehicle do I need for a self-drive tour in Iceland during winter months?
Winter driving in Iceland from November to March requires a 4x4 vehicle to handle snow and ice conditions safely. Popular options include the Skoda Octavia Combi 4x4 automatic or Toyota Landcruiser 4x4 for smaller groups. Larger parties often opt for the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 4x4. These vehicles come equipped with winter tires and safety features necessary for Iceland's winter road conditions.
What level of accommodation can I expect on a self-guided Nordic tour?
Self-guided Nordic tours typically feature 3-star hotels that offer private bathrooms and include breakfast. Along Iceland's Ring Road travelers might stay at properties like Hotel Hamar near Borgarnes or Fosshotel Nupar in the south. These accommodations focus on comfort and practicality while providing convenient access to major attractions.
What are the must-see highlights typically included in self-guided Nordic tours?
Nordic self-guided itineraries often feature Norway's fjords Sweden's Gamla Stan district and Finland's Santa Claus Village. Transportation experiences like the Flåm Railway rides add to the journey. Cultural stops usually include Stockholm's Vasa Museum Copenhagen's Tivoli Gardens and overnight stays at historical properties such as the Kviknes Hotel overlooking Sognefjord.
How far in advance should I book a self-guided Nordic tour?
For optimal planning book Nordic self-guided tours 3-6 months ahead particularly for summer travel between June and August. Booking data shows most travelers secure their trips 90-196 days in advance. Special experiences like kayaking in Sweden's Saint Anna Archipelago tend to fill quickly during peak season making early reservation essential.
