What people love about Self-Guided Tours in Nordic / Scandinavia
- 6-day Kayak & Wild Camp the Archipelago - self-guided
Do The North is a trip we'll never forget. The scenery, the weather, the equipment, the organisation, the food; it was all perfect. Thomas and his team were so helpful from the first email to picking us up after the trip. Forget any worries you have about fitness, kayaking ability or surviving for 6 days... just do it!
- 7-day Kayak & Wild Camp the Archipelago - self-guided
I did this trip with a few friends in 2010 and when we were packing up on our last day we were all saying how we would love to do this trip again (or just not leave), so this year with the same friends and a few new ones we wen't back and had an absolutely amazing time, I really wish I could go every year! It's just set up so perfectly and the place is so perfect. Every day paddling, gathering wood, cooking amazing meals, watching the sunset. It's just perfect. If you like camping it's a must do at least once in your life.
- 6 Days Self-drive | Reykjavik, Golden Circle and South Iceland Tour (Winter)
Really loved how this made the trip so much more effortless while still maintaining the freedom to do any activity we wanted when we wanted. Did not have any surprises with booking, rentals or check-in.
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.
