FAQ:
What types of excursions are available in Reykjavik?
In Reykjavik, you can enjoy a variety of excursions including city tours, whale watching, Northern Lights tours, Golden Circle tours, and visits to geothermal spas like the Blue Lagoon. Each tour offers a unique way to experience the natural beauty and cultural heritage of Iceland.
How long do the excursions typically last?
The duration of excursions in Reykjavik can vary. City tours usually last around 2-3 hours, while full-day tours like the Golden Circle can take up to 8-10 hours. Whale watching tours typically last 3-4 hours, and Northern Lights tours can range from 3-5 hours depending on the conditions.
What should I wear on an excursion in Reykjavik?
It's important to dress in layers and wear waterproof and windproof clothing, as the weather in Reykjavik can be unpredictable. Comfortable walking shoes are also recommended. For specific activities like glacier hikes or snorkeling, specialized gear will be provided by the tour operators.
Are the excursions suitable for children?
Many excursions in Reykjavik are family-friendly and suitable for children. However, it's always best to check with the tour operator for any age restrictions or specific requirements. Some tours, like glacier hikes or certain adventure activities, may have age limits for safety reasons.

Yes, Excurcity offers private tours tailored to your preferences. Whether you're interested in a personalized city tour, a private Northern Lights hunt, or a custom itinerary, we can arrange a tour that suits your needs and interests. Private tours provide a more intimate and flexible experience.
What is the best time of year to visit Reykjavik for excursions?
Reykjavik offers unique experiences year-round. Summer (June to August) is ideal for exploring the outdoors with long daylight hours and milder weather. Winter (November to March) is perfect for witnessing the Northern Lights and enjoying winter activities. Spring and autumn offer a mix of both, with fewer tourists.
Do I need to book excursions in advance?
It's highly recommended to book excursions in advance, especially during peak tourist seasons. This ensures you secure a spot on your desired tour and can plan your itinerary accordingly. Some popular tours, like the Blue Lagoon or Northern Lights tours, can sell out quickly.
