Iceland is one of the most volcanically active countries in the world, and that is because of its position on the globe.

In the strictest terms, you could technically go around the island in one day, but that is no fun. We recommend no less than a week. 7-10 days is ideal while 14 days is excellent.

The Golden Circle is one of Iceland’s most famous sightseeing routes. Easily accessible from Reykjavík and its simplest form includes Þingvellir National Park, Gullfoss waterfall, and Geysir Geothermal Area.

The colors of the lights can range from white to green to red, blue, and purple. The intensity of the lights then depends on how big the solar storms are. Sometimes you will only see a tinge in the sky that might seem like light pollution while other times you will not know where to look because the sky is alight with dancing northern lights. Check out the best places to see these magnificent lights.

Of course, every month is the best to come to Iceland! If we got to choose you would get to experience every season because all four of them have pros and cons. The best time for your visit depends on what you want to experience – you might have to come more often than once, and we welcome that!

We have made a list of things we think is essential to pack for travel in Iceland, both winter and summer. The first thing you need to know about how to dress when in Iceland; wear layers.

As has often been said, the Icelandic weather is very fickle. We can’t guarantee you´ll see much snow but some things are guaranteed, like frozen waterfalls and lakes, short days, and cold. The darkness does not have to be a bad thing, it gives everything an eerie blue hue, and the stillness that comes with the snow is fantastic. Check out our list of the three most beautiful places to see during the Icelandic winter.

One thing you will find when in Iceland is that there are many waterfalls here. The reason for that is that we have glaciers and the Gulf Stream. We also have reasonably mild weather with a lot of rain in the summer and snow in the winter.

Camping during wintertime in Iceland is a unique experience and we encourage everyone to try. Our campers are all equipped with winter tires and the best heating system available today, so you will be able to stay warm and toasty during the cold winter nights in Iceland.

Due to Iceland‘s position on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and the Eurasian and North-American tectonic plates pulling the country apart at the rate of about 2.5 centimetres a year, you can find hot springs in an abundance in Iceland.

The Golden Circle in Iceland can easily be driven in one day. However, if you have a campervan and aren’t in a hurry, you can camp along the Golden Circle.

Yes and no. Campsites in Iceland are very different from each other. Some are very well equipped and have excellent facilities. Others aren’t much more than a bit of grass next to a farmhouse.
