FAQ:

What are the most popular excursions in Iceland?

The most popular excursions in Iceland include the Golden Circle tour, which covers Thingvellir National Park, Geysir geothermal area, and Gullfoss waterfall. Other favorites are the Blue Lagoon, the South Coast tour featuring waterfalls like Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss, and the Northern Lights tours during winter. Glacier hikes, ice cave explorations, and whale watching are also highly sought after.

When is the best time to visit Iceland for excursions?

The best time to visit Iceland for excursions depends on what you want to experience. Summer (June to August) offers long daylight hours, making it ideal for exploring the countryside and hiking. Winter (November to March) is perfect for witnessing the Northern Lights and enjoying winter activities like ice caving and glacier hiking. Spring and autumn provide a mix of both, with fewer tourists and milder weather.

Are the excursions suitable for families with children?

Yes, many excursions in Iceland are suitable for families with children. The Golden Circle tour, Blue Lagoon, and whale watching are family-friendly activities. However, some excursions, like glacier hikes and ice cave tours, may have age restrictions due to safety concerns. It's always best to check with the tour operator beforehand to ensure the activity is appropriate for your family's needs.

What should I pack for an excursion in Iceland?

When packing for an excursion in Iceland, it's essential to dress in layers due to the unpredictable weather. Bring a waterproof and windproof jacket, thermal layers, sturdy hiking boots, gloves, a hat, and a scarf. Don't forget a swimsuit for geothermal pools and a camera to capture the stunning landscapes. Sunglasses and sunscreen are also recommended, especially in summer.

How long do excursions typically last?

The duration of excursions in Iceland varies depending on the activity. Day tours, such as the Golden Circle or South Coast tours, typically last around 8-10 hours. Shorter excursions, like whale watching or visits to the Blue Lagoon, can last 2-4 hours. Multi-day tours are also available for those who want to explore more remote areas or combine several activities into one trip.

Can I book excursions in advance?

Yes, it's highly recommended to book excursions in advance, especially during peak tourist seasons (summer and winter). Booking ahead ensures you secure a spot on popular tours and can often save you money. Excurcity offers an easy online booking system, allowing you to plan your itinerary and avoid last-minute disappointments.

Are there any excursions that are wheelchair accessible?

Some excursions in Iceland are wheelchair accessible, but it's essential to check with the tour operator beforehand. The Blue Lagoon, for example, is wheelchair accessible, and some Northern Lights tours can accommodate wheelchair users. However, many natural sites and activities, like glacier hikes and certain waterfalls, may not be suitable due to rough terrain.

What safety measures are in place for excursions?

Tour operators in Iceland prioritize safety and provide necessary equipment and guidance for excursions. For activities like glacier hikes and ice caving, certified guides accompany groups, and participants are provided with helmets, crampons, and harnesses. It's crucial to follow the guide's instructions and stay within designated areas to ensure a safe experience.

Can I customize my excursion itinerary?

Yes, many tour operators, including Excurcity, offer customizable excursion itineraries. Whether you want a private tour, specific activities, or a tailored schedule, you can work with the operator to create an itinerary that suits your preferences. Custom tours are ideal for those with unique interests or specific time constraints.
