Iceland Tours for Solo Travelers
The Ring Road in Iceland works exceptionally well for solo travelers, as we've seen with our 10-day discovery tours. You'll stay at welcoming farm stays and guesthouses where meeting other travelers happens naturally over breakfast or evening chats. Our guides handle all the practical details from driving to meals, so you can focus on what matters - like taking that glacier boat ride or joining a morning horse trek. The groups always include other independent travelers, and there's something special about sharing moments like a sudden geyser eruption or spotting a whale breach off the northern shores with your new travel friends.

What people love about touring Iceland solo
- 6 Day - Iceland Ring Road Small-Group Tour
Had a thoroughly enjoyable 6 day trip around Iceland. We saw so much including the popular Golden Circle but also had a chance to explore the less visited, quieter other side of the country. Our tour guide Thor was excellent, sharing his passion for his country, adding personal knowledge and interest to the tour and then continuing to be available in the evenings to share a meal and provide updates on Aurora sightings. The accommodation was all of good quality, the breakfasts were excellent and the bus new and clean.
- Iceland Northern Lights
The experience was fantastic. It was a great way to get acquainted with Iceland. Our guide Petur is an expert on the country, its history and all of the sites that you are seeing. He genuinely enjoyed sharing his country with our tour group. The accommodations were nice, clean and comfortable. The trip exceeded my expectations!
Amazing trip. Very well organised by Marina travel. Excellent itinerary, with all the ‘usual spots’ like the golden circle, that everyone sees. But also some more ‘out of the way’ things that make this more special. A beautiful country and an brilliant way to see it all. I would really recommend this trip. ♥️

What our customers ask about Iceland Tours for Solo Travelers
How easy is it to meet other travelers as a solo participant on Iceland guided tours?
Solo travelers make up about half of most Iceland tour groups with operators reporting 40-60% solo participation rates. The setup naturally encourages social connections through shared activities and spaces. Hotels like Fosshotel Baron in Reykjavik create easy opportunities to meet others during breakfast or while watching for northern lights in the evening. A recent TourRadar traveler shared: "As a solo traveller I was a little nervous but there were other solo travellers as well as couples and groups and we all bonded in such a short time."
How safe is Iceland for solo travelers on guided tours?
Iceland ranks among the world's safest countries which makes it particularly good for solo travel. Guided tours add an extra layer of security especially during activities that need expertise like glacier walks at Sólheimajökull or exploring ice caves at Vatnajökull. The structured format lets you explore freely while having support when needed. According to a TourRadar traveler: "Our guide was extremely knowledgeable about safety protocols and made everyone feel secure especially during the glacier hike."
Which areas of Iceland are most solo traveler-friendly?
The South Coast and Golden Circle stand out as excellent regions for solo travel. These areas offer a mix of popular spots like Reykjavik Vik and the Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon where meeting other travelers happens naturally. You'll find good facilities and regular tour groups around major sites such as Thingvellir National Park and Gullfoss waterfall. A TourRadar traveler noted: "The South Coast tour was perfect for meeting people while experiencing Iceland's most dramatic landscapes."
What is the best time of year for solo travelers to visit Iceland?
Summer months from June to August bring endless daylight and mild weather perfect for outdoor activities and social events. Winter between October and March offers northern lights viewing and ice cave tours with groups. Spring and fall see fewer tourists but maintain good conditions for group travel. Data shows most solo travelers book their trips between July and September.
What kind of accommodation can solo travelers expect on guided tours?
Most tours use comfortable 3-4 star hotels such as Fosshotel Baron in Reykjavik or Hotel Husavik up north. Some adventures like the Laugavegur Trek include stays in mountain huts where shared spaces make meeting others easy. Hotel rooms come with private bathrooms though single rooms tend to be more compact than doubles.
