About this trip
An 8-day coach trip around Iceland starting in Reykjavík, taking in the country's best-known landscapes along with a handful of quieter spots away from the main routes.
It's built for winter, so someone else does the driving on Iceland's ice and snow while you take in the scenery. Each night on the road gives you a chance to look for the northern lights, weather and forecasts permitting.
There's room to add on extras along the way, from ice caves to whale watching, if you want to shape the trip around your own interests.
What you'll do
- Explore Reykjavík at the start of the journey
- Visit Iceland's most popular natural sites
- Take in a few lesser-known spots off the main tourist trail
- Nightly chances to spot the northern lights, conditions allowing
- Option to add extras such as ice cave visits, whale watching, horseback riding or glacier hiking
- Coach-based, so you don't need to drive on winter roads yourself
- Northern lights viewing depends entirely on weather and forecast, not guaranteed
- Extra activities like ice caves or glacier hiking are optional add-ons, not included as standard
Worth it if you're flexible with group logistics and want Iceland's highlights with a strong guide. Think twice if long daily travel and potential scheduling chaos stress you out.
- Guide quality makes the trip; Thor and Thales received genuine praise from multiple travellers.
- Multiple groups combined into one tour creates scheduling nightmares: late arrivals, unplanned 5-hour waits.
- Daily travel distances are substantial; expect long days in the van as standard.
- Northern Lights sightings possible but not guaranteed; hotels themselves were clean and adequate.
