Iceland is the perfect country for adventure. If you love nature, peace and sightseeing, this is a perfect fit. Depending on the season you visit, you will get to know a different side of the island (see the best time to visit below). The most popular activities among tourists are:
- Waterfalls. There is an endless supply of stunning waterfalls around the Westfjords. Make sure to visit Dynjandi, the biggest waterfall in the Westfjords.
- Northern lights. This spectacle is highly visible during the winter months in Iceland, (Sept-March). Make sure to use an App to measure the probability of Aurora lightning up the sky! They are specially visible from the Westfjord where there is little light pollution.
- Puffins! This happy little fellows are a huge attraction on the Latrabjarg Cliffs. Just make sure to visit during summer to find them.
- Horseback riding. A popular activity, Iceland’s beautiful landscape is perfect to go horseback riding.
- Hiking. A must-do if you like adventure. Iceland is home to plenty of beautiful sights hidden on the other side of each mountain and Fjord. Glacier hiking is also widely popular, just make sure to do this with a guide, as beautiful as glaciers are, they can be dangerous!
- Relax in thermal waters. When visiting Iceland, there is a hotspring around every corner. If you feel particularly adventurous, you can try dipping in the cold Pacific-ocean waters, and later going back into the hotspring.
The same things you would need to go birdwatching in any other country! Just make sure to pack some comfortable boots and winter-gear, as the top of the cliffs can get pretty windy.
As of the beginning of 2023, there is no Uber service in Iceland. This being a big island with widely spread cities, it is recommended to rent a car while you visit. If you do not feel like driving, there are other means of transportation available, such as taxis, buses and tours. In Reykjavik you can also find electric scooters from Hopp or Zolo.
Iceland’s legal currency is the Icelandic Krona. Although, must establishments (and even buses) will accept credit card payments. See the exchange rate from USD to ISK here.
It all depends on what side of Iceland you want to experience. If you wish to visit during the warmest season, then summer (July to August) is your best option. During this time you can also find seasonal birds like the Puffins in the Latrabjarg cliffs. If you want to experience a magical side of the fjords, filled with Northern lights, then winter (September to February) is the best choice. Every season here is full of wonder and each has its own charm that will take your breath away.
