Glaciers, ice caves, whale watching, Northern Lights and more. Below is information about the most popular guided tours and excursions available in Iceland — curated by Jessica.
💡 Hot tip: The first and last tours of the day will see the least crowds at the destination.
The iconic and mesmerizing natural blue ice caves are found amongst the melting edges of Iceland’s largest glacier — Vatnajökull. Ride a Super Jeep across dramatic terrain to reach the cave entrance, then explore the stunning blue ice and capture unforgettable photos.
Katla Ice Cave is a dramatic and accessible ice cave in the south of Iceland, formed by the glacier Mýrdalsjökull. Available year-round, it’s a great option if you’re visiting outside of blue ice cave season. Ride a Super Jeep and walk into the stunning cave.
The Icelandic horse is unique for its small build and additional gait compared to other breeds. Ride through stunning Icelandic countryside, try out the famous tölt gait, and stop for photos along the way.
Walk on Iceland’s spectacular glaciers with a certified guide and proper equipment. Experience the cracks, voids, moulins, and crevasses of the ancient ice. With the changing landscape, no two hikes are ever the same.
Iceland is home to Humpback Whales, Blue Whales, Orca, and more. North Iceland offers the best sightings, but Reykjavík has tours year-round. You may also spot puffins out on the water! Pro tip: inflatable RIB boats allow closer sightings.
Chase the Aurora Borealis with an expert guide who monitors forecasts and drives you to the darkest, clearest skies. If the lights don’t appear on your tour, most companies offer a free rebooking. The Northern Lights are most active in winter.
Race across Iceland’s second largest glacier on a snowmobile — one of the most exhilarating activities in the country. Guides lead you across the glacier at your own pace with stunning 360° views.
Iceland hosts millions of puffins every summer! Take a boat tour from Reykjavík harbour or visit cliffside puffin colonies. Iceland is home to around 60% of the world’s Atlantic puffin population — a truly unique wildlife encounter.
