What are the best places to visit in Iceland?

Iceland is a land of incredible natural wonders and adventures waiting to be experienced, and some of the best places to visit on Iceland tours in 2025 include:

The Golden Circle: No trip to Iceland is complete without traversing this famous sightseeing route. Marvel at the thundering Gullfoss Waterfall, the bubbling geysers of Geysir Hot Springs, and the geological wonder of Thingvellir National Park.
The Blue Lagoon: This iconic geothermal spa allows you to sink into the rejuvenating milky-blue waters surrounded by a surreal lava landscape. Visiting the Blue Lagoon is the perfect start or end to your Icelandic journey.
Vatnajökull National Park: Home to one of Europe's largest glaciers, this vast park offers countless opportunities to explore massive ice caps, towering peaks, and thundering waterfalls.
The Westfjords: This remote and rugged peninsula remains off the typical tourist trail, rewarding adventurers with pristine nature, charming fishing villages, and incredible bird watching.

What should I do when visiting Iceland?

When visiting on tours of Iceland in 2025, here are some incredible Iceland experiences to add to your travel wishlist:

Chase the Northern Lights during long winter nights providing ample opportunities to witness the dazzling celestial display of the aurora borealis dancing across the Icelandic sky.
Explore the brilliantly blue ice caverns hidden amongst the glaciers of Vatnajökull.
Soak in Iceland's world-famous geothermal hot springs and mineral-rich pools, from the iconic Blue Lagoon to remote natural springs surrounded by nature.
Discover the dramatic beauty of Iceland's volcanic terrain with a hike through lava fields and across crater lakes.
Get up close with the incredible marine life on a whale-watching expedition or guided puffin-watching tour to spot the iconic species that call the Icelandic waters and cliffs home.
Embark on an underground adventure by descending into the naturally formed lava tube caves, exploring these surreal subterranean worlds with an expert guide.

How many days do I need for my trip to Iceland?

The number of days to spend on tours to Iceland in 2025 depends on what you want to see and do during your stay. For those with limited time, seven days provides a glimpse into Iceland's most iconic natural wonders.

Ten to 14 days in Iceland opens up more possibilities and provides more opportunities to see the Northern Lights. As the best year to view the phenomenon in over a decade, we recommend you maximize your chances of seeing the spectacle with a longer stay.

For the ultimate in-depth exploration of Iceland, three weeks or more is ideal. With this length of time, you can journey to remote areas like the Westfjords, joining private guided hikes and kayaking adventures. No matter how many days you allocate, the geological grandeur of Iceland is sure to leave a lasting impression.

Travel Review: Iceland Tour, Reykjavik, Thorsmork, Vik, Blue Lagoon, Valley of Thor, Eyjafjallajokull Glacier, Geysir Hot Spring

Our vacation, and the guide exceeded all of our expectations! We saw so much of the southern part of Iceland in 6 days which was perfect for us. We had a private guide for the entire trip, and our guide took us everywhere in his jacked up Land Rover with giant tires capable of driving through rivers, lava fields, and on beaches! Our guide was so knowledgeable about the people, culture, and land, and we felt like we really knew the country and had made a real friend by the time we left. Having a private guide and being able to go where and when we wanted was awesome, and our guide went over and above to make sure we saw the highlights as well as less seen places, and he kept an eye on the Aurora forecast, and got us to a very dark place where we were lucky enough to see a spectacular show! Our stops included, the Blue Lagoon which was a great way to start our vacation after taking the red eye from the US. It's a tourist stop, but worth going to since it takes 20 years off of your body- so they say! We went 400 feet inside of a 4000 year old volcano which was an awesome experience. We saw multiple waterfalls- Gljufrabui, Seljalandsfoss, Hraunfossar, and the Golden, and all were worth the hike. In Thorsmork we went to Thor's Ravine, an awesome canyon and a pretty good hike. Eyjafjallajokull Glacier is the one that erupted in 2010, and it's stunning. We spent 2 nights in Vik, and traveled around from there, and 3 nights total in Reykjavik, which is a great little town with restaurants and bars and a harbor. We took a zodiac boat ride on a glacial lagoon, and got up close and personal with the glacier. We drove the Kaldidalur Mountain Pass between glaciers, and went into the Langiokull Glacier through a manmade ice cave. Finally, we went on to the Golden Circle, with it's three main attractions- Thingvellir National Park, Geysir Hot Spring, and the Golden Waterfall. I planned the entire trip with the owner of the travel company, and he tailored the trip specifically to my family. We emailed and had one 45 minute phone call, and he had the entire trip planned including hotel reservations, reservations at attractions, and he even suggested and made dinner reservations for us. Also, he and his wife gave us weather forecasts, tips for clothing, and answered any other questions and concerns, and always responded almost immediately. I would totally recommend Zicasso, who asks a bunch of questions so they can pair you with 3 highly rated travel agencies, and follows up with you, and the travel company- an awesome travel agency who planned a trip that exceeded all of our expectations!

Iceland Review, Snaefellsnes Peninsula, Thingvellir National Park, Glacier Hike & Lagoon, Whale Watching, Hikes & Speedboats

Fantastic!!!!This trip was the easiest, most worry-free, most fun, and exhilarating trip we could ever imagine. We booked with this travel team because we are not experienced world travelers. We did not want the hassle of trying to drive ourselves and squeeze a lot of activities into our days when we were unfamiliar with the country. We did the West and South Iceland Adventure over 8 days with our most excellent guide in a capable and comfortable Range Rover. We were able to see all of the "regular" spectacular scenery in Reykjavik, on the Snaefellsnes Peninsula, the Golden Circle, the South Coast, and the Jokulsarlon Glacier and Glacier Lagoon. We stayed in stunningly beautiful and comfortable small hotels with famously wonderful restaurants and breakfasts included. We especially loved the Whale watching on fast Rib speedboats in the Reykjavik harbor, the Glacier Walk on the Jokulsarlon Glacier, and the Glacier Lagoon boat ride. We were thrilled that our guide made adjustments to our scheduled days to accommodate more or less time at certain attractions and to add time for a beer or two at several local breweries along our routes. He also took us to some beautiful spots for short hikes--along the coastline, through a beautiful gorge, and from waterfall to waterfall! I would highly recommend this travel team to anyone wanting to see Iceland!!!

Iceland Travel Review: 7-Days in Reykjavik, Golden Circle, Glaciers, Waterfalls

I chose our travel specialist based on reviews I read on Trip Advisor. Arnar worked with me to design a 7-day trip for my husband and I. He was flexible and thoughtful with his planning and our tour guide was so full of knowledge. You would never know that English was not his first language. It was a great way to learn about the country without being lectured to. He also turned out to be a fabulous photographer who took great photos of my husband and I.We visited the Blue Lagoon first thing which was an awesome experience especially in winter. We had a nice balance of "tours" and alone time to explore Reykjavik. 4 days of private tours:Golden Circle Adventure which we stopped at a tomato farm for an AMAZING lunch! Also did the Lava Tube Cave.Thorsmork & Eyafjallakull Adventure where we did a snowmobiling trip on Eyjafjallokull Glacier. Such a blast!Jokulsarlon Glacier Adventure. We had planned to go on a glacier hike, but after speaking with people on our snowmobiling trip we decided to go hike to an ice cave. Arnar was able to make this happen with the help of our guide. It was such a site!WaterFalls & Volcanoes Adventure. The weather was so bad that the activity we had planned, which was an ATV Tour, was cancelled. Our guide quickly came up with a new plan. We went to an Interactive Volcano and Earthquake Exhibition. It was fascinating to learn all about the different types of volcanoes and to better understand the explosive history of this extraordinary country. Then to a local restaurant that he knew.The accommodation in Reykjavik that he chose was in a great location. Really modern and chic hotel with lovely hotel rooms. Located in the center of the town well placed for restaurants and bars.The accommodation in Vik was a very basic accommodation. Breakfast was good, they had nice home baked bread and waffles. Because of the distance from other places our guide was able to take us to see the Northern Lights which were spectacular!Overall it was an AWESOME vacation and would definitely recommend our travel specialist.

Iceland Vacation Review: Glacier Hiking, Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon, Skaftafell, Vík í Mýrdal, Snæfellsnes, Silfra, Snorkeling

The trip was great overall.

Plus points:

Zicasso’s travel agency took time to plan the whole trip meticulously. It included all the attractions we asked for and wanted to cover. We received timely responses to all inquiries.

Issues/areas for improvement:

The south coast trip, per the detailed itinerary, was to begin at 9am, but the tour guide/driver came at 8am, saying he had information for an 8am pick-up.

The amphibious boat tour on Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon was only half an hour, whereas the itinerary said it was one hour 20 minutes.

Skaftafell Natural Reserve and Vík í Mýrdal town were included in the itinerary. However, the driver said the natural reserve tour took around two hours to hike and we didn’t have enough time. We just drove through Vík town. The driver said there was really nothing to walk around and look at and also a lack of time. He said the planner included a lot of items and there was definitely not enough time to cover everything as the south coast tour involved 500-plus kilometers of driving. He suggested we definitely bring this to your notice.

On the Snæfellsnes peninsula tour, more time was needed for the Gatklettur stone arch. It was a little rushed and, in terms of different viewing points and attractions, not properly explained. The time for Ytri Tunga and the Búðir church should have been shortened.

The Silfra snorkeling tour was allocated five hours and 30 minutes, but took an extra one hour and 30 minutes, and the hotel charged storage fees to move bags from the room to the storage area.

Except for the above areas of improvement, I must say that, overall, it was a very good trip experience and I would recommend it to family and friends without any hesitation.

Thank you.

Iceland Vacation Review: Reykjavik, Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon, Sky Lagoon, Private Guides

Our family of five had an amazing nine-day trip to Iceland over Christmas. We were based mostly in Reykjavik, taking walking tours through the city with local guides and small group tours to hunt for the Northern Lights and explore the Golden Circle and a lava tunnel.

We met with a private guide who drove us to Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon and a blue ice cave, plus many scenic waterfalls and beaches along the southern coast. These tours were fantastic and the two hotels we stayed at were a great fit for our family. We spent Christmas Day at the Sky Lagoon; definitely a great day!

We were very fortunate to find our tour operator through Zicasso. Our trip was planned by a very friendly and professional travel agent. She helped us figure out the best itinerary for our family. She helped us balance all the activities we wanted to do, while still having some downtime. We had a couple of last-minute travel complications, including flight delays and the Blue Lagoon closing, then reopening, then closing again due to the volcanic eruption. She was very accommodating and quick to reschedule various activities.

All tours were prepaid, pre-ticketed, and easy to find. Our travel team did all the hard work and prepared everything in advance, which made the trip very easy and uncomplicated. We definitely recommend them and may call them again to see Iceland in the summertime!

Iceland Vacation Review: Reykjavík, Akureyri, Nature, Waterfalls, Glaciers, Whale Watching

First of all, Iceland is strikingly beautiful. We went from Reykjavík along the southern coast, then north along eastern Iceland, all the way north to Akureyri. We snorkeled in two-degree water, hiked with an ice pick in hand on a glacier, and saw countless whales and waterfalls. It was magnificent! The trip was well planned and fabulously executed. Thanks to our Zicasso travel team, it was stress-free.
