In this Iceland Activity Guide I share the very best activities and operators in Iceland, so you can have the most memorable experiences possible, and make memories that last a lifetime! Because trust me they will... Iceland has to be one of the most unique and incredible places I have ever been ...and I used to think of myself as a warm weather traveller 😉 What are my qualifications for this destination guide? - I organised and led an adventure tour for a global travel company here last year & got 10/10 reviews - probably in large part down to the amazing activities and companies I used to make that trip epic for everyone. Read on to find out the exact activities and companies I recommend!

Above is a picture of my dad and I snorkeling in the crystal clear waters of the Sifra rift in between two tectonic plates. Snorkeling is one of my favorite memories from our 10 day father-daughter trip to Iceland in June 2022. I’ve used our experience to develop a family friendly itinerary with activities that entertain from energetic teenager to an adult in their 50s. This itinerary includes a full 10 day plan with a packing list and links to companies that we tested and used including: rib boats, the blue lagoon, geysers, puffins, whale watching, snowmobiling on glaciers, snorkeling Sifra, hotels, and restaurants. This itinerary is tried and tested, covering Iceland’s southern regions in addition to its capital Reykjavik. Other stops include the Golden Circle, Diamond Beach, Geldingalir Volcano, and Skogafoss.
