Our first international trip together to Iceland and Finland this November with Pickyourtrail was the best decision! We are so grateful to Mr. Beniel for planning everything perfectly and to the team for checking in on us daily. Right from the accommodations to the flights and activities, everything was curated exactly to our needs. Seeing the Northern Lights together was a major bucket list dream come true! Hoping to plan another holiday with them soon. Thank you Pickyourtrail!jyothi choudhary, Trip to Iceland

Experience the Wonders of Iceland: 12 Nights Adventure Itinerary

Imagine a land where every turn reveals breathtaking beauty and adventure—welcome to Iceland! Over 12 nights, immerse yourself in the raw nature and vibrant culture of this Nordic gem. From the bustling streets of Reykjavik to the serene black sands of Vik, every moment is a postcard worthy experience begging to be captured. You'll lounge in guesthouses, savor fresh seafood, and uncover the scenic secrets shared by locals, all while surrounded by dramatic landscapes.

Highlights of the Destination

  • Reykjavik: Iceland's capital, rich with history and modern charm, teeming with art, music, and vibrant cafes.
  • Vik: Home to the iconic black sand beaches and rugged cliffs, showcasing the unique geological formations of Iceland.
  • Akureyri: Known as the Capital of North Iceland, this charming town offers buzzing nightlife, a welcoming vibe, and stunning scenery.
  • Glacier Hikes: Experience exhilarating guided glacier hikes offering breathtaking views and unforgettable memories.

Travel Tips for Iceland

  • Be prepared for unpredictable weather—layers are key. High-quality rain gear, comfortable hiking boots, and warm waterproof jackets are essentials.
  • Always book popular tours in advance, especially during the summer peak season, to secure your spot for experiences like glacier hikes and Northern Lights tours.
  • Local customs are rich—try to learn a few Icelandic phrases to connect with the locals.
  • Embrace the daylight hours. During summer, Iceland has nearly 24 hours of sunlight, so take advantage of the long days to discover out-of-the-way gems.

Conclusion

Your 12-night adventure in Iceland will not just be about ticking off sights on a checklist. It's about embracing the land of fire and ice, understanding the stories embedded in its terrain, and forging lasting memories against a backdrop of rugged beauty. Whether venturing through majestic waterfalls, soaking in geothermal lagoons, or hunting for the elusive Northern Lights, each experience will resonate within your heart long after you leave this extraordinary place.

My family and I took a trip to Iceland with Pickyourtrail 2 weeks ago, and it was one of the most unforgettable experiences we've ever had. We travelled there to see aurora lights and we got extremely happy to see them on all nights during our stay in Reykjavik! Thanks very much to the team at Pickyourtrail who helped us every step of our way through this trip. The itinerary was perfectly created as per our choices. The hotels they chose for us in Akureyri and Vik were also centrally located with so many amenities. They kept us informed about every small thing on trip, which made our holiday hassle-free as they state. Their support chat is round the clock and they will get back to you even in the middle of the night, which was very useful to us when we faced minor inconveniences during an activity but their team resolved those issues almost immediately. I will definitely recommend their services to everyone. Will surely reach out to them for my next international holiday. Thank you team Pickyourtrail, once again!

Was very happy to work with Samrit from Pick your trail. I wanted to plan an offbeat trip to Iceland and in fact got a lot of useful information from him that is otherwise difficult to procure from googling. He was very patient in understanding my requirements and gave suggestions here and there. Being a constant traveller, he is one of the best travel planners I have worked with :-) Highly recommending Pick Your Trail. Will definitely come back to them for my next trip.
