This tour takes place in the winter. You can expect varied weather conditions with brisk days and limited daylight. Icelandic weather is famously dynamic, and you will experience a true Arctic winter. Expect temperatures at or below freezing, strong winds, and rapidly changing conditions that may include snow, sleet, and rain.
Daylight hours in Iceland decrease significantly throughout the season, with approximately 8-11 hours of daylight in October. Sunrise occurs later in the morning, and sunset comes early in the afternoon, which may impact sightseeing schedules and overall pacing of the day.
We seek to best utilize your time while on tour; to account for the potential for adverse weather, some activities or days may need to be altered, shifted, or cancelled. In addition, museum visits and shopping may be affected by observance of religious or local holidays.
The northern lights are in the Northern Hemisphere from September through April and are only visible when the sky is clear and free of clouds. As this tour is weather-dependent, sightings of the northern lights are not guaranteed.
