What travelers are saying

"Our trip to Iceland was absolutely stunning and Charlie the Traveler curated an amazing and adventurous trip for us that kept in mind all of the attractions that were on our list and many other gems this beautiful country has to offer. We hit a few roadblocks with our tours due to weather conditions and volcanic activity in the area, but Charlie The Traveler and his team were on it at every moment and were able to provide us with alternative tours that did not take away from the overall experience. His team is led by individuals that truly cares about your experience. If you need a perfect trip planned then Charlie the Traveler is the way to go. This trip has been absolutely perfect and can’t wait to come back and explore it again."

Akureyri, Blue Lagoon, Jokulsarlon, Lake Myvatn, Reykjavík, Skogafoss, Snaefellsnes Peninsula, Thingvellir National park

Highlights

  • There's a lot more to Iceland than ice (and Bjork). Ford the fjords, glaciers, volcanoes and black sand beaches, and consider adding on a visit to the renowned Blue Lagoon for a soak in the geothermal springs.
  • Spend the evening at the quirky farm town of Modrudalur – an isolated settlement and the highest inhabited place in Iceland and enjoy a home-cooked dinner at our guesthouse at Snaefellsnes.
  • Walk to the mottled blue, grey and black tongue of Vatnajokull glacier – an ice cap so large it covers eight per cent of the country – and discover the incredible Skogafoss Waterfall.
  • Glide past blue-white icebergs on an included boat tour of Jokulsarlon glacier lagoon and soak up the silence of the surrounding grey sand desert..
  • Experience the unearthly scenery at Namaskard, where steam rises from the sulphuric terrain and take a walk around the lava stacks and caves of Dimmuborgir.

"We joined the Intrepid “Real Italy Food Tour” and enjoyed it thoroughly. Our tour guide, Micol, was very knowledgeable and provided us with lots of good information. It seems Micol knew many of the staff of the venues we visited, including the pasta making class we attended. Our group of 11 travelers was extremely compatible, which greatly added to the fun and enjoyment."

What travelers are saying

"My wife and I did the six day Lofoten Islands tour offered by 50 Degrees North. The tour is simple, they provided us a rental car, accommodations for two nights each at three Rorbuer hotels scattered across the islands, and a couple of scheduled day tours. Most of the time, we were on our own to see the islands at our own pace. The islands are stunningly beautiful, and the tour planning made our travels hassle free. They even scheduled lunch for us at an organic goat farm, which may sound a little strange for a vacation like this, but that is only because you haven't tasted the cheese. (Best lunch ever!) At our request, they altered the tour slightly so that we could begin the tour in Svolvaer and end it six days later at the airport in Leknes. We can't imagine a more complete tour of the islands in six short days."

What travelers are saying

"We spent two wonderful weeks touring several of the best destinations in Portugal & Spain with a group of 16 people. Our guide (Fredy) was from Spain and intimately familiar with the region, including its rich history, attractions, and food/beverages. The tour was well-paced using a combinations of private vehicles (small buses and cabs), trains, and an airplane ride as well as a fair amount of walking to get around these two beautiful countries. We extended our stay in Lisbon to see more attractions and took a side trip to Fatima, Obidos, and Nazare that was also excellent. Would have liked to have a bit more time in a couple of the cities, but we'll just have to plan another trip!"

Additional details

Akureyri Weather

Like most of Iceland, the weather in Akureyri is surprisingly consistent year-round. The warmest time of year (and as a result, probably the most pleasant and the best time to visit) is between the months of June to August, where temperatures average in the high 40’s (Fahrenheit). The coldest time of year falls between January to March, where temperatures average below freezing, at around 30 degrees Fahrenheit.

As a result, it is going to feel cold all year, although even in the heart of winter there is a low chance of snow. The best time to visit is during the summer when it is a little warmer, and when you have the most sunshine each day.

What to Wear in Akureyri

In Akureyri, dressing warmly is a necessity, no matter the time of year. One key to this is wearing thick and well insulating layers, wool and cashmere are highly recommended. If you are planning on doing any physical activity, such as hiking or biking, you should wear synthetic and sweat-wicking materials as your base layers, so you clothing dries quickly and you aren’t left damp and cold.

No matter the time of year, you should also pack hats, gloves, scarves, and warm socks in Iceland. You will be thankful for these after you’ve spent an hour outdoors and are still toasty warm. Make sure to also wear sturdy, waterproof shows. Any snow on the ground will melt, and the ground in Iceland is notoriously muddy anyways. Your feet will appreciate remaining dry after a long day on your tour of the outdoors!

How far is Akureyri from Reykjavik?

By car, Iceland’s northern capital is about 6 hours away on Ring Road. This may be your only option in winter, as most other roads in Iceland are unpaved and close after a snowfall.

If you want a more scenic route, however, and are fine with taking a couple stops along the way, take the famous Golden Circle route and then veer off at the F35. This will take you at least 3 days to complete, though it is a great option if you choose to go on a self-guided tour of Iceland.

If you don’t want to rent a car, or your tour offers transportation, your options boil down to flying or taking a bus. A bus ride takes about 6 hours and follows Ring Road. Your other option is taking a plane. Flights are now offered with regularly frequency, and though they are the most expensive option, a flight between the two cities is a quick 45 minutes, and this may be worth it to you.
