What people love about touring Iceland solo
- 6 Day - Iceland Ring Road Small-Group Tour
Great way to see the north as well as the south end of the island. SOOO many waterfalls all with their own shapes and colors. Our tour guide, Kalman, was great. As soon as we stopped somewhere, he was using his resources to figure out weather, road closures, whether the puffins had arrived, etc. We met such a nice group of people and had an excellent trip. Be aware that you do stay at different hotels each night (but we really liked all of them, and all had nice breakfasts in the morning), so pack light so you can easily move from one to the next!
- 8 Days Self-drive | Around Iceland Ring Road Tour
Only one miss: the apartmentbuilding on the second night in Akureyri was a bad experience. They had gone to selfservice in May, a sign on the door said, and every guest needed a code for self-checkin. I had no code. Luckily people were inside, so I could call the owners. But no info on the neighborhood, where to eat, stuff like that. Room was ok, but barely could open any window.
Very nice tour with lots of different interesting things packed in 3 days. The mini bus could be a bit more spacious.

What our customers ask about Iceland Tours for Solo Travelers
How easy is it to meet other travelers as a solo participant on Iceland guided tours?
Solo travelers make up about half of most Iceland tour groups with operators reporting 40-60% solo participation rates. The setup naturally encourages social connections through shared activities and spaces. Hotels like Fosshotel Baron in Reykjavik create easy opportunities to meet others during breakfast or while watching for northern lights in the evening. A recent TourRadar traveler shared: "As a solo traveller I was a little nervous but there were other solo travellers as well as couples and groups and we all bonded in such a short time."
How safe is Iceland for solo travelers on guided tours?
Iceland ranks among the world's safest countries which makes it particularly good for solo travel. Guided tours add an extra layer of security especially during activities that need expertise like glacier walks at Sólheimajökull or exploring ice caves at Vatnajökull. The structured format lets you explore freely while having support when needed. According to a TourRadar traveler: "Our guide was extremely knowledgeable about safety protocols and made everyone feel secure especially during the glacier hike."
Which areas of Iceland are most solo traveler-friendly?
The South Coast and Golden Circle stand out as excellent regions for solo travel. These areas offer a mix of popular spots like Reykjavik Vik and the Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon where meeting other travelers happens naturally. You'll find good facilities and regular tour groups around major sites such as Thingvellir National Park and Gullfoss waterfall. A TourRadar traveler noted: "The South Coast tour was perfect for meeting people while experiencing Iceland's most dramatic landscapes."
What is the best time of year for solo travelers to visit Iceland?
Summer months from June to August bring endless daylight and mild weather perfect for outdoor activities and social events. Winter between October and March offers northern lights viewing and ice cave tours with groups. Spring and fall see fewer tourists but maintain good conditions for group travel. Data shows most solo travelers book their trips between July and September.
What kind of accommodation can solo travelers expect on guided tours?
Most tours use comfortable 3-4 star hotels such as Fosshotel Baron in Reykjavik or Hotel Husavik up north. Some adventures like the Laugavegur Trek include stays in mountain huts where shared spaces make meeting others easy. Hotel rooms come with private bathrooms though single rooms tend to be more compact than doubles.
