Senior Tours in Iceland Tours & Travel Guide

Senior Tours in Iceland Attractions & Landmarks Guide

While Iceland tours may appear to appeal to a younger generation, with the advent of popular films and televisions shows highlighting the landscape, and the reputation for adventure, there are plenty of activities awaiting the silver haired traveler. (And who says seniors don’t have adventures anymore? Certainly not us).

Iceland Adventures for Senior Travelers

Iceland is famous for its other worldliness and one of the best ways to capture this is on a photography tour. Learn from the experts on how to perfectly photograph Iceland’s many incredible waterfalls, "fields" of volcanic rock, and bright green mountain sides. And don’t forget about the wild horses!

If you're visiting in the wintertime, it's prime Aurora Borealis sighting. This incredible light show is a can't miss bucket list item for many, as the sky lights up in spectacular hues of green, blue, and occasionally pink.

Another big draw is the Blue Lagoon hot springs, about 40 minutes outside of Reykjavik. Holding a heavy camera for half a day can strain your shoulders and walking in hiking boots over uneven terrain is tiresome. Sooth your tired muscles with a soak in the healing warm waters. This is a very popular excursion before the flight home!

Adventure Alternatives in Iceland

In light of Iceland’s status as an outdoorsy destination, many may overlook its other attractions. Take a history tour to discover extensive viking influences and fascinating native traditions.

Downtown Reykjavik is a hidden gem, with cafes, shops, museums, and art galleries. Reykjavik has responded in stride to their new tourist influx. There is also a budding food scene showcasing fusion cuisine heavily influenced by traditional Nordic and Scandinavian dishes.

What to Pack for Iceland

Bring sturdy, broken in hiking boots. And lots and lots of layers. The weather can change dramatically during one day and Iceland can be oddly temperate on some winter days or oddly cold on some summer days. Also if you’re hiking around Iceland’s many waterfalls it’s suggested to bring a lightweight waterproof jacket.

Much of Iceland travel is outdoors among the elements. You’ll want outer wear that you don’t mind about getting dirty, and that holds up well in wind, and water.

Photography enthusiasts can refer to our Iceland Photography Tours page for more details on what to pack. You’ll definitely want to bring a tripod, and waterproof casing for your camera - especially if you’re getting up close and personal with one of Iceland’s many waterfalls!

Transportation in Iceland

Older travelers, or those simply more interested in a slower, less adrenaline pumping kind of a trip can find plenty to see and do, not traveling in a 4x4 over rough terrain.

This is not to say that all of Iceland’s attractions are easy to get to. In response to increased tourism, Iceland has made many updates to their roads, especially in areas of high concentration, such as the Golden Circle. So you’re sure to encounter a smooth ride to see Iceland’s major sites.

If you want to go farther afield, to see the Northern Lights or experience the Ring Road, there might be some portions on this journey that are less well maintained.

The best tip would be to travel with a tour company that caters to senior travelers, such as Road Scholar or ElderTreks, these things will be taken into consideration and every effort will be made to minimize discomfort as you explore Iceland.
