What people love about touring Iceland solo
- Best of Iceland
Excellent tour, a few mix-ups with hotels, but overall very enjoyable tour!
- Northern Lights Escape
We had a fantastic trip and saw all Iceland had to offer in terms of weather conditions in winter. Our guide, Havar, was tested on the first day as we were storm bound in Reykjavic until late afternoon. Nevertheless he rose to the occasion with an extended tour of the city! Despite losing the first day's itinerary Havar worked hard to ensure that we fitted in everything that we had missed during the following two days. He was a star! Accommodation was basic but clean and comfortable, all we needed. The transport in the minibus was fine and again, Havar put considerable effort into driving us safely despite the wind and snow and quite long shifts at the wheel. The winter scenery was stunning in many places. The weather could change very quickly and we enjoyed two full days of sunshine as well as the storms, and a clear sky on our last night with Havar gave us a great chance to see (and attempt to photograph) the Northern Lights, he managed to find us good vantage points away from the crowds. Thanks Intrepid, and especially thanks Havar.
- 5 Days Land of Northern Lights
It was an absolutely well managed tour! We ended up seeing a lot in the 3 days and got lucky with the northern lights! Anais was very knowledgable and her dry sense of humour kept us entertained throughout. The stay in hella was really really nice! I definitely recommend this tour!
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.
