What people love about Iceland Tours in July
- 6 Day Around Iceland Summer Minibus Tour
John is a great guide, very knowledgeable, very patient and always always happy, with a soft spot for music that we all enjoyed in our journeys. He made sure we knew a lot of history, facts about the places we were visiting. The trip concentrates a high number of beautiful places that takes your breath away. We did absolutely everything that was planned plus we did some extra stops to visit some extra hidden gems. Iceland is a great country to visit, but with a guide like John is even better. I would even say he has been the best guide I ever had. Alex our guide at the glacier for the hike made the experience outstanding. He gave us detailed instructions about how to use the equipment and helping how to adapt it to us very patiently. He also explained different facts about the place that help us learn more. I have loved the whole visit to Iceland but if I had to chose only one thing to highlight it would be the hike to the glacier. It is an experience not to miss.
- 10 Days Complete Iceland Summer | Ring-Road, Snæfellsnes Peninsula & Roundtrip airport transfer (Group Tour)
Wonderful Island, very nice ans skilled tour guide, poor choice of hotels, too large group and old, small bus.
Fabulous trip and I’ll recommend the mini bus tour with Troll to everyone! Our tour guide, Johann Kari was excellent and I can’t recommend him and Troll Expeditions enough!

What our customers ask about Iceland Tours in July 2026
What is the weather like in Iceland during July?
Visitors to Iceland in July will find the country's most favorable temperatures with daytime readings between 12-15°C (54-59°F). The Vatnajökull region stays cooler at around 10°C while Reykjavik can reach 17°C. The extended daylight hours known as the midnight sun allow for night-time exploration in locations like Akureyri and the Westfjords. TourRadar travelers note "The weather was fantastic for hiking and outdoor activities though you still need layers as temperatures can change quickly." Pack clothing that can be layered as weather conditions often shift throughout the day.
What are the must-visit attractions in Iceland during July?
The summer weather opens up access to Iceland's key natural sites along the Golden Circle route including Gullfoss waterfall Geysir hot springs and Thingvellir National Park. The Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon displays drifting icebergs while Landmannalaugar's colorful mountains become fully accessible. A TourRadar traveler noted "The midnight sun made it possible to visit Seljalandsfoss waterfall at 11 PM with perfect lighting for photos." Hotel Klettur in Reykjavík serves as a practical base for exploring these natural wonders.
How crowded is Iceland in July?
July brings peak crowds to Iceland's most popular sites such as the Golden Circle and Blue Lagoon. The less-traveled Eastfjords and Westfjords provide quieter alternatives for visitors seeking more solitude. According to experienced travelers "Visiting popular sites early morning or late evening helped avoid crowds thanks to the midnight sun." Consider staying at properties like the Stracta Hotel in Hella to escape the bustle of central Reykjavík.
Which wildlife can I see in Iceland during July?
July presents optimal conditions for viewing Iceland's maritime wildlife particularly puffins at Borgarfjörður Eystri and whales near Dalvík and Húsavík. Whale watching tours regularly spot humpbacks blue whales and dolphins in the northern waters. Recent visitors report "We saw countless puffins at Reynisfjara beach and multiple humpback whales during our cruise from Dalvík." The Stracta Hotel in Hella positions travelers well for wildlife viewing excursions.
What unique events or festivals happen in Iceland during July?
The summer calendar features distinctive cultural gatherings including the Folk Music Festival in Siglufjörður and the Landsmót Horse Festival which celebrates Iceland's native horse breed. Rock music fans gather at the Eistnaflug Festival in Neskaupstaður. Guests at Fosshotel Baron have observed "The local festivals added an authentic cultural dimension to our natural sightseeing experience especially the traditional music performances in Siglufjörður."
How busy are popular attractions like the Golden Circle in July?
The Golden Circle draws its largest crowds in July particularly at Gullfoss waterfall Geysir and the Blue Lagoon. A guest at Fosshotel Glacier Lagoon advised "while sites like Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon were busy in July visiting early morning or late evening offered more peaceful experiences." The busiest hours at Þingvellir National Park typically fall between 11am and 4pm when tour buses arrive.
