The great thing about multi-day tours in Iceland is that they’re equally fun in summer or winter. That said, you’ll get to see a completely different side of the country depending on when you decide to visit.

In summer, you can get stuck into outdoor adventure activities and make the most of the long, light evenings. More attractions are open and temperatures are milder. The summer season covers the months of May, June, July, and August.

In winter, you have the chance to chase the mystical Northern Lights. The darker evenings provide the perfect backdrop for this. You’re also likely to see frosted waterfalls and snow-dusted mountaintops. Winter spans October, November, December, January, and February.

The shoulder seasons of March, April, and September are a good time to visit if you want to experience the most popular attractions during the quieter season.

Throughout the year, you can dip into local culture and attend fun events, like the 3-day food fest in late February. Learn more about unusual Icelandic traditions and customs in this guide.
