Why Iceland?

Iceland is a destination that's hard to resist for those who love adventure, natural beauty, and unique experiences. There are plenty of reasons why this arctic island should be on your travel bucket list!

GEOLOGY

One of the top reasons to visit Iceland is its geologic wonders. The country has a rich geological history, with active volcanoes, lava fields, and dramatic landscapes that are unlike anywhere else in the world. The Thingvellir National Park, for example, is a UNESCO World Heritage site where visitors can explore the breathtaking rift valley that marks the point where two tectonic plates meet. It's an awe-inspiring sight that's sure to leave a lasting impression.

But Iceland isn't just about geologic wonders. It's also an island that is rich in wildlife and natural beauty. Visitors can go whale watching to get up close and personal with blue whales, killer whales, and pilot whales in their natural habitats. You can explore the glacial rivers and ancient glaciers of the Vatnajökull National Park, or relax in the warm mineral-rich waters of the country's many hot springs.

CULTURE

Another reason to visit Iceland is its unique culture. This is a country that's rich in history and tradition, with a population that's fiercely proud of its heritage. One of the best ways to experience Icelandic culture is to explore its small towns and villages, where you can sample traditional cuisine, listen to local music, and even ride an Icelandic horse.

And then there's the famous Icelandic hospitality. Expect to receive a warm welcome from friendly locals who are always happy to share their knowledge and recommendations for things to see and do. It's an incredibly welcoming destination that's perfect for those who want to immerse themselves in nature.

 

 

When to Go

When it comes to planning an adventure holiday in Iceland, timing is everything. The country's climate is notoriously unpredictable, with weather patterns that can change in the blink of an eye. To make the most of your trip, it's best to visit during the warmer months of the year.

Summer, from June to August, is the peak tourist season in Iceland. During this time, you can expect long days with nearly 24 hours of daylight in some areas. This provides ample time to explore the country's many natural wonders, from the black sand beaches to the glacial rivers and waterfalls. It's also the best time for whale watching, as the waters are warmer and attract a greater number of species.

Autumn, from September to November, can also be a great time to visit Iceland. While the weather is cooler and you can expect some rainfall, the scenery is breathtaking as the leaves change color and the northern lights begin to make an appearance.

Winter, from December to March, brings cooler temperatures and the possibility of snow and ice. However, the winter months offer a unique experience for those interested in exploring Iceland's icy landscapes, with opportunities to go glacier hiking and snowmobiling. Plus, the winter months are prime time for viewing the northern lights.

Spring, from April to May, marks the start of the tourist season. The weather is milder than in winter, with longer days and the possibility of seeing some baby animals in the wild. It's also a great time to explore Iceland's flora, as the wildflowers begin to bloom.

Ultimately, the best time to visit Iceland depends on your interests. When it comes to planning your holiday in Iceland, we will consider the type of activities you want to include and the areas you would like to visit.
