LuxurySeniorsHoneymoonsThe best time to visit Iceland is during the summer from June through August. During these months, you can experience nearly 24 hours of daylight, known as the midnight sun, and warmer temperatures averaging approximately 55°F.
The summer weather is more pleasant for exploring Iceland’s natural wonders like glaciers, waterfalls, and volcanic landscapes. This also makes summer, specifically July and August, the most popular time for travelers. If you would prefer even cooler weather, fewer crowds, and the chance to see the Northern Lights, then September through March are excellent options.
Fall brings beautiful autumn foliage, and winter offers opportunities to see the Northern Lights, go glacier hiking, and visit ice caves. While winter days are very short, Iceland is a great destination no matter when you visit.

Iceland is known for its stunning and diverse natural landscapes, from sloping lava fields to towering glaciers. Volcano tours take visitors to see lava flows, craters, mountains, and volcanic black sand beaches, while glacier tours let you cross the ice and enter ice caves formed in the winter. Finally, Iceland is one of the best places to view the Northern Lights. You can explore the dramatic scenery, chase waterfalls, or see the Northern Lights on Iceland tour packages.
The best time to see the Northern Lights in Iceland is from late September through March. This is when there are full dark skies for optimal aurora viewing.
Within these months around the equinoxes, there tends to be more solar activity which leads to more frequent Northern Light displays. However, sightings are still not guaranteed as seeing the Northern Lights depends on clear skies and solar activity.
To maximize your chances of viewing the Northern Lights, we recommend staying for at least 4 days in areas away from city light pollution. Some of the best places in Iceland to see the magical glow of the Aurora Borealis on a luxury tour are the Snaefellsnes Peninsula, Vatnajokull National Park, and the Westfjords region.
The Golden Circle is one of the most popular tourist routes in Iceland. It is a 190-mile loop with three main stops, including Þingvellir National Park, Geysir, and Gullfoss Waterfall.
Þingvellir National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that marks the junction between two tectonic plates and was the site of Iceland's first parliament. Geysir geothermal area features bubbling mud pots and the geyser Strokkur which erupts every five to 10 minutes. Gullfoss Waterfall is a stunning double cascade waterfall plunging 32 meters into a canyon.
Driving the route only takes about six to eight hours, making it easy to fit the Golden Circle's natural wonders into a single day trip from Reykjavik for the perfect taste of the magnificent landscape, whether on a senior tour or honeymoon in Iceland.
