What people love about Iceland Tours for Seniors
- Iceland Highlights (Summer)
The Trafalgar tour of Iceland and the Blue Lagoon was great. This was our first organized tour and we were a little nervous what to expect. It was a smallish group (around 20 people) which made for a more personal trip, and also more room on the coach. The tour itinerary included a number of Icelandic cultural experiences that we would likely have missed if we had organized our own plans. These made for a much richer trip, and we were glad they were included. Kudos go to the tour guides when a day's schedule had to be reworked at an hour's notice due to 100mph wind gusts that made driving unsafe. The "plan-B" turned out to be a rewarding experience in its own right, bravo Xavier & Amy! The highlight of the trip was seeing the Northern Lights on a nighttime boat ride outside Rekjavik harbor. (this cannot be guaranteed, but we were lucky). A low light was the Blue Lagoon, which was rather run-down. We had independently been to Sky Lagoon before the trip started, and that was a much better experience.
- Gems of Iceland with Northern Lights
Good pace. Would have liked to know what was included in blue lagoon visit... that I didn't need to bring a towel. Tour guide was informative but not overly chatty; this was perfect.
- Gems of Iceland with Whale Watching
Fantastic! good & timely planned itinerary, knowledgeable local Icelandic guide, Erikkur. Just that, we were only given 15 minutes to 30 minutes of some of the stunning waterfalls. But other than that, the globus tour is awesome!
What our customers ask about Iceland Tours for Seniors
What type of accommodations can seniors expect on Iceland tours?
Most tours catering to older travelers provide 3-4 star hotels that offer essential comforts and accessibility. In Reykjavik the Centerhotel Plaza and Klettur Hotel are popular choices located near city attractions and dining options. The rooms come with modern amenities and private bathrooms. One TourRadar traveler mentioned: "The hotels exceeded our expectations. The Fosshotel Glacier Lagoon was particularly impressive with spacious rooms and stunning mountain views."
What is the typical age range for senior tours in Iceland?
Tour data shows most participants range from 50 to 76 years old with Collette tours drawing an average age of 76. The accommodations at places like Hotel Dyrholaey in Vik and Centerhotel Plaza in Reykjavik cater well to mature travelers. As one TourRadar traveler noted: "Being 65, I was able to tolerate even the glacier hike! The small group became fast friends and the tour was perfect for our age group."
What size are the tour groups for seniors in Iceland?
Groups usually range from 15 to 25 people allowing for personal attention and easier management. Iceland Travel typically hosts 20 people per tour while Collette caps their groups at 24. One TourRadar traveler commented: "With just 17 people in our group we got to know everyone and the guide could really take care of individual needs."
What's the best time of year for seniors to visit Iceland?
Summer (June through August) offers the most favorable conditions with mild temperatures long daylight hours and stable walking conditions. Winter tours from October to March let you see the Northern Lights but require careful navigation of icy paths. As one TourRadar traveler mentioned: "We went in July and the weather was perfect - not too cold and 24 hours of daylight made everything much easier to navigate."
How physically demanding are Iceland tours for seniors?
Tours rate from "Easy" to "Moderate" with flexible activity options for different fitness levels. Most walks last 1 to 2 hours on level ground. Popular sites like Gullfoss waterfall and Thingvellir National Park feature accessible paths with safety rails. As one TourRadar traveler noted: "Our guide was very caring and concerned about each member of the group adapting the pace to accommodate different abilities."
What medical facilities/support is available on Iceland tours?
Major towns across Iceland offer quality healthcare with English-speaking staff. Tour guides come prepared with first aid training and stay connected via cell phone. Hotels like the Centerhotel can connect guests with local doctors when needed. One TourRadar traveler mentioned: "When I needed a doctor in Akureyri the tour guide quickly arranged a visit and translation support."
