Do you tip in Iceland?

Generally, tipping is not customary or expected in Iceland, as service charges at restaurants, hotels, spas and tour guides are usually included in the bill. If it’s not included at a restaurant, or you feel like you want to include a tip anyway, a 10% gratuity is acceptable.

What is the internet access like?

Internet and wifi are widespread throughout Iceland and are usually free in accommodation, food venues, tourist information centres, petrol stations and sometimes buses, as well. There could be a small fee or you may need to ask a staff member for an access code.

Arctic fox
In the winter, the arctic fox's grey fur turns pure white, allowing them to seamlessly blend in with the snow around them. The arctic fox is the only mammal native to Iceland, and visitors can even explore the Arctic Fox Centre in Sudavik, home to two live arctic foxes rescued as pups in 2015. Iceland isn't the only place travellers can find arctic foxes, though; these animals live across the entirety of the Arctic Tundra. During winter, arctic foxes can be found following polar bears for their leftovers. The best time to see arctic foxes is during a bright Arctic night in the summer - while they often stay in their dens during the day, at night they're much more active and easy to spot.

Ranthambore National Park (4 days)

"Excellent trip! We have wanted to see tigers in the wild for some time, and this trip came up trumps. The tented camp was great, with good food and service, and the safari jeeps turned up promptly every morning and afternoon. It's a long way from Wales to India, so we booked six safaris to maximise our chances and saw tigers on four of these. Lots of other wildlife as well, and three days of offroading in jeep - what more could you want?" Read more

Use our difficulty grading system to understand which hiking and trekking tour matches your abilities.

Easy
At this level, experience is not necessary and anyone in good health who can manage walking long, flat distances can handle this grade. Typically hikes and treks graded as easy are short in duration and do not reach high altitudes.
See easy tours
Moderate
Moderate treks will reach slightly higher altitudes with more difficult days included. Expect longer days of walking and stronger inclines throughout the trek. Climbers should be healthy, reasonably fit and exercising regularly.
See moderate tours
Extreme
An excellent level of physical and mental stamina will be required. Expect to travel through mostly uninhabited areas where supplies will be hard or impossible to acquire. Only the most experienced trekkers should take on these climbs.

Polar bears - some of the most famous Arctic inhabitants - can be found in Alaska, northern Canada, Greenland, and Norway's Svalbard Archipelago. Travellers set on catching a glimpse of these majestic white bears should travel in the summer when some Arctic ice has melted and the bears will spend more time on shore. Polar bears in the wild are an incredible sight to behold, but make sure you always listen to your guide’s advice and practise reasonable safety precautions when you’re anywhere near them.

Depending on when you visit, the likelihood of seeing polar bears can be very high, so plan accordingly. Polar bears eat seals (bearded and ringed) almost exclusively, but have been known to also eat walrus, whale, birds' eggs, and, very occasionally, vegetation. Female polar bears can grow to be up to 2.4 metres (7.9 feet) on their hind legs and weigh up to 250 kilograms (551 pounds), while males can reach up to 3 metres (9.8 feet) on their hind legs and 450 kilograms (992 pounds).
Learn when and where to see polar bears.

With the weather being unpredictable and wild here, more precautions have to be taken when choosing what time to travel to this continent. The Antarctic region has only two seasons - polar summer and polar winter. Winter occurs between April and September and during these months the sun doesn’t rise, and average temperatures drop to -40°C (- 40°F). Polar summer starts with November, and the continent enjoys up to 24 hours of daylight and temperatures of +10°C (50°F) along the coast. Hence, Antarctica can be visited only during its polar summer which happens between November through March.

The high season, December to early February, brings the highest temperatures on the Antarctic Peninsula and the most abundant wildlife; you can expect to see different species of penguin chicks and seal pups! Lower seasons, the months of November and mid-February to March, can provide harsher weather and a more authentic experience (in November), or prime whale watching time (mid-February to March). Keep in mind, however, that if you travel to Antarctica in mid-February to March, you run the risk of many land animals already having left to find food, and your wildlife spottings may not be as common or enjoyable.

Did you know?

What is the warmest temperature recorded in Antarctica?: 17.5 C (63.5 F) The temperature was recorded on 24th March 2015 at the Argentine Research Base Esperanza

Before you start your hiking escapade to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro, you will need to establish how to get there, and the best mode of transport to suit your itinerary or tour. Travellers flying from the UK, the US, Australia or Canada and other parts of the world have a few options to explore.

Each of these options should be carefully considered based on your budget and how much time you have to explore Tanzania before, or after your trek. Most importantly, don’t be tricked into booking the cheapest flight without considering if there might be a catch; including long layover times, additional visas or transport arrangements.

When to visit

Peak Season
June to August
The warmer months in Iceland welcome visitors with the appeal of the magnificent midnight sun and extended hours of sunlight, however, this is when Iceland experiences a sharp influx of visitors – especially in Reykjavik and the south of the country. It is recommended that visitors pre-book all activities and accommodation in advance. Highland roads will re-open, and visitors can enjoy less extreme weather conditions for camping, hiking and other outdoor activities. Temperatures will average between 18-20°C and in some parts of Iceland will drop to a low of 7°C.
Low Season
October to April
Low season in Iceland (over the months of October to April) is characterized by a significant drop in temperature, and some roads will be closed. This means parts of Iceland are not accessible and outdoor activities may be limited. Visitors will need to be aware of reduced daylight hours over the winter months, however, the possibility of viewing the northern lights is much greater. Over the low season, visitors will benefit from lower flight or hotel prices and will enjoy fewer crowds at the main sights or attractions such as the Blue Lagoon.
