The regions
Iceland is a short flight from the East Coast, and its weather shapes every plan. We build an itinerary with realistic driving days, book the glacier, cave and whale watching tours, and choose hotels away from the crowds.
Iceland’s small, lively capital, with Hallgrimskirkja, the Harpa concert hall, good restaurants and easy day trips.
Thingvellir National Park, the Geysir geothermal area and Gullfoss waterfall, in an easy loop from Reykjavik.
Seljalandsfoss and Skogafoss waterfalls, the black sand beach at Reynisfjara, glaciers and the Jokulsarlon lagoon.
Kirkjufell mountain, lava fields, fishing villages and the Snaefellsjokull glacier, about two hours from Reykjavik.
Akureyri, Godafoss, the Lake Myvatn area and whale watching from Husavik, reached by a short domestic flight or the Ring Road.
Fire, ice and the light of the far north.
One advisor to shape every day around you.
Experiences
Every journey begins with what matters most to you.
Countryside hotels away from city light, with guided aurora tours on clear nights from September to March.
Guided glacier hikes, and natural ice cave tours in Vatnajokull National Park during the colder months.
The Blue Lagoon, Sky Lagoon and quieter natural pools, with time booked so you are never waiting at the door.
Seljalandsfoss, Skogafoss, Gullfoss and Godafoss, with super jeep trips into the highlands in summer.

Timing
June to August brings the midnight sun, open highland roads and the mildest weather. September to March is the season for the northern lights, and November to March for natural ice caves.
Lengthening days, the last of the northern lights and puffins arriving in late April.
The midnight sun, puffins, open highland roads and whale watching.
Northern lights returning, autumn color and fewer visitors.
Northern lights, ice caves, snowy landscapes and cozy evenings.
Questions
June to August is best for long days and road trips, while September to March is the season for the northern lights. Shoulder months offer a little of both.
Nonstop flights from the East Coast to Keflavik take about five to six hours. Many travelers add a stopover in Iceland on the way to Europe.
U.S. citizens can currently visit Iceland for short trips without a visa. Iceland is part of the Schengen Area and new European entry systems are being introduced, so we confirm the current requirements for your trip.
From about September to March, on clear and dark nights. Sightings are never guaranteed, so we plan several nights in the countryside to improve your chances.
The main Ring Road is well maintained, but weather changes quickly and winter driving can be difficult. We plan self-drive routes carefully or arrange a private driver guide.
Four to five days covers Reykjavik, the Golden Circle and the South Coast. Allow ten days or more to travel the full Ring Road.
We are a family-owned travel agency in Connecticut, with offices at 564 Racebrook Road in Orange (203-929-6000) and 4270 Main Street in Bridgeport (203-371-1114).
