What people love about Iceland Tours in September
- Best of Iceland
The Best of Iceland tour with G Adventures was outstanding! Oliver was an excellent guide: knowledgeable, friendly, helpful, kept us on time so that we could see everything and gave us lots of great tips from how to save money to how to set our cameras to capture the northern lights. Iceland is an incredibly beautiful country. I highly recommend this tour!
- 5 Days Land of Northern Lights
We had an awesome time! Especially our guide Katrina was very professional, knowledgeable and funny.
- Iceland Discovery
The tour was amazing! Our tour guide Magnus gave a lot of local insight to Iceland and always made the effort to talk to all of us. Although most of the accommodation was nice and cosy but there were some stays which appeared like they were not cleaned before our arrival such as dirty sinks and dusty floors and cupboards.
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.
