What people love about Iceland Tours in September
- 8 Day - Iceland Northern Lights Tour
Hjaltib was an EXCELLENT guide & driver! He made special care to ensure everyone was having a safe and memorable time. Such a nice gentleman akin to a wise grandpa for all of us on the trip! The sites we saw on the trip were out of this world & we were fortunate to see the lights on 3 nights!!
- 5 Days Land of Northern Lights
The guide was very friendly and informative throughout the tour. The group size was under 20 people and was well organised, a very fun trip!
- 5 Day - Snaefellsnes, South Coast and Northern Lights
The combined 5-day trip (3 days to the south and 2 days to tbe west of Iceland) was fantastic. Many thanks to Frimann and Oliver who have been brilliant telling us interesting facts about this beautiful country and its people, and who have been helpful and friendly throughout the whole trip. I also loved the choice of accomodation which allows you to appreciate the amazing surroundings even more. Beautiful and activity packed trip which I thoroughly enjoyed!!!
What our customers ask about Iceland Tours in September 2025
What are the best activities to do in Iceland during September?
September in Iceland opens up a range of activities across the country. Visitors can trek the Vatnajökull glacier head to Dalvík for whale watching tours that boast a 98% success rate or explore the classic Golden Circle sites including Gullfoss and Geysir. The Wilderness Center near Egilsstaðir stands out for its historical exhibits and free hot springs. For accommodations the Fosshotel Baron in Reykjavik and Hotel Dyrholaey in Vík serve as practical bases especially for those hoping to catch the northern lights.
Can I see the Northern Lights in Iceland during September?
September signals the start of aurora viewing season as nights grow longer and darker. Properties like Hotel Hamar near Borgarnes and Fosshotel Núpar provide clear views away from urban light pollution. A recent visitor reported: "We saw amazing Northern Lights three times during our September trip while staying at countryside hotels away from Reykjavik."
What festivals or events happen in Iceland during September?
The cultural calendar comes alive in September with the Reykjavik International Film Festival and the traditional Réttir sheep roundup. Local food festivals pop up throughout Reykjavik and concert venues like Harpa Concert Hall begin their main season. Downtown Reykjavik hotels place visitors in the heart of these cultural happenings.
What are the crowd levels like in Iceland during September?
Tourist numbers drop noticeably in September compared to summer peaks. Visitors report shorter wait times at major attractions like the Blue Lagoon and Gullfoss waterfall. The Golden Circle route becomes more manageable and hotels such as Fosshotel Baron in Reykjavik often have better availability at lower rates.
What wildlife can you see in Iceland during September?
September offers final chances to spot puffins before migration particularly around Borgarfjörður Eystri. Whale watching excursions from Húsavík and Akureyri regularly encounter humpback whales and dolphins. As one visitor noted: "Our September whale watching tour from Akureyri was incredible - we saw multiple humpbacks and even some dolphins." Hotels like Hotel Akureyri provide convenient access to wildlife viewing areas.
What is the weather like in Iceland during September?
September temperatures typically range from 7-12°C (45-54°F) with some rainfall as summer transitions to autumn. These conditions work well for exploring sites like Thingvellir National Park and the Golden Circle. TourRadar travelers note the "breathtaking views with less extreme weather conditions than winter months." Hotel Stracta in Hella serves as a strategic point for experiencing Iceland's varied September weather.
