What you’ll do

There is so much to see and do in Iceland and most of it is fine to do by yourself. But for some activities you really need to book a tour.

You'll find different tours around Iceland in this list (in no particular order).

These are some of my favorite tours to do around Iceland. And also a few that are on my bucket list for this summer because I've heard so many good things about them!
