BEST THINGS TO DO IN ICELAND IN 2025/2026
Discover the most exciting and exclusive activities to enjoy in Iceland during the 2025 season. Based on traveler feedback and our own experience on the ground, here you’ll find the most popular tours and adventures — but remember: places are limited, and demand for 2025 is already very high.
Why choose Iceland this year?
The travel landscape in Iceland has changed significantly in recent years. While the effects of the pandemic led to the closure of some providers and a reduction in available services, 2025 is shaping up to be one of the busiest seasons ever. Demand is strong, prices are rising, and availability is limited — which means booking early is essential.
As one of the largest travel agencies in Iceland for Spanish- and English-speaking markets, we live here and know the country first-hand. We personally check and verify our tours regularly, so you can be sure of their quality and authenticity.
Seasonal Highlights
-
Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis): Best viewed from October to mid-April. Join guided excursions to maximize your chances of seeing this unforgettable natural wonder.
-
Whale Watching: Peak season runs from May to August, when you have the highest chance of spotting humpbacks, orcas, and other giants of the sea.
-
Motorhome Adventures: For 2025 we offer special packages with limited availability of campervans and motorhomes — the perfect way to explore Iceland with freedom and flexibility.
Important to Know for 2025/2026
-
The season is in very high demand: prices for services are expected to rise by around 20%
-
Accommodation in certain areas (such as Höfn, Skaftafell, or Lake Mývatn) is extremely limited during July and August — book well in advance to secure your stay.
-
Popular tours and excursions also sell out quickly in high season. Don’t rely on last-minute offers, as capacity is limited and often unavailable.
