Best time to visit Iceland
Iceland can be visited at any time of the year. The best time to visit the country would ideally depend on 4 major things – the places you wish to visit, the weather you would like to experience, activities you would like to do and of course the budget. In order to help you decide the best time that suits your preferences, a detailed description of the seasons is given below.
Peak season
The peak season is also the summer season in Iceland. The months of June, July and August are warm with clear skies and make it the perfect time for tourists to visit the country. During this season, the country is most likely to be brimming with people from all over the world to witness the midnight sun, phenomenal glacier lagoons and breathtaking landscapes. You could also see the whales and puffins bask in the open. It also makes it the perfect time for a hassle free drive around the country. On the flip side, the prices are relatively high during this season due to the extensive footfall. If you’re looking for the perfect weather and expensive Iceland package deals, this season would best suit your needs.
Shoulder season
The months of April, May, September and October are the best months for tourists to visit during the off peak season. This is also when Iceland experiences its spring and autumn seasons. This season is still a good time for a drive around the country but, it is always better to be prepared for dramatic weather to kick in. Though the weather is moderately better than the winter season, it is quite unpredictable as Iceland experiences rough weather on some days during the shoulder season. Most of the activities and attractions are open during this time of the year as well. Considering the footfall is not as much as the peak season, the prices are a bit affordable. If you’re looking for an offbeat experience in Iceland, this is the perfect time for you to take the Iceland tours offered by us.
Low season
Early November to late March, marks the off peak season in Iceland. It is also the winter season where the landscapes are covered with an inch of snow. Self driving during this season is highly not recommended as the roads get slippery due to the ice formed and the weather gets very rough. Hence, it is best to take group tours around the country. The country gets a maximum of 4 to 5 hours of sunlight during the winter season. However, this is the best time to experience the hot springs and predominantly the Northern Lights, also known as the Aurora Borealis. If you’re looking for a cozy and value for money Iceland vacation packages, this would be the best season to cut down on your Iceland travel cost from India.
