I've recently become a gay, solo traveler and love to travel. Iceland is on my bucket list. When do you think this tour may take place? Are there other tours that you would recommend. I love to hike, but, am not an extreme hiker.

The Iceland Explorer is a fantastic choice, especially if you're looking for a balance of iconic sights and active exploration. This tour showcases Iceland's dramatic landscapes—from waterfalls and glaciers to volcanic scenery and geothermal areas—while staying in comfortable hotels and travelling at a well-paced rhythm. It's ideal for travellers who want to experience the highlights of Iceland without feeling rushed! We generally see an average of 50% of our travellers are solo so you'll be in great company! We currently have two departure dates remaining for Fall 2026: Sunday, 6 September – Tuesday, 15 September 2026 and Sunday, 11 October – Tuesday, 20 October 2026. 2027 dates should be released in the coming weeks. If you're specifically looking for an easy to moderate hiking experience, we also have several other excellent options and I'd be happy to help narrow down the best fit for you.

What information can you provide on the itinerary, the inclusions, and the type of accommodations used on this tour?

Please find attached the trip notes, which provide a detailed day‐by‐day itinerary along with what is included.

Looking for a private tour for two arriving May 25 and will depart June 3. Want to be based in Reykjavik for at least 3 days and have day trips. They are very well-travelled and adventuresome.

We offer expertly crafted set-itineraries for small groups between 4-16 people typically ranging between 8 and 23 days in duration to over 100 destinations with a focus on trekking, wildlife, cycling, cultural discovery, and family adventures. Unfortunately we are not able to provide bespoke itineraries or bespoke amendments to existing itineraries, beyond spending additional time in destination that would organized independently or extending time in gateway hotels.

Is There any option to let my 16y old on this trip alone. he is very independent and I willing to sign documents.

Minors must travel with an accompanying parent / adult who accepts full responsibility for them for the duration of the trip.

What is the single supplement for April 2026?

The single supplement for 5th of April departure is £790.

What is the price for a single traveler? What is the activity level?

This trip is graded Activity Level 2 (Leisurely/Moderate). The single supplement cost for the August 7th departure is USD1162.00. Most roads we travel on this trip are paved, providing a reasonably smooth ride. Many of the site explorations are completed on foot, often on uneven ground.

Does this 10 day tour include seeing Northern Lights. I am open to dates though read January or February are best months to see the lights.

There would be 2 travelers. Can seeing Northern lights be added as and extension to this tour?

Do you charge a single supplement? Traveling with another woman, we want our own rooms. thanks!

what, if any, is the cost for a single supplement?

What opportunities are there to see the northern lights on this tour?

Northern Lights visibility depends on a combination of solar activity and clear skies. The two can combine to produce a visible display anytime between late August and April.

Trip review Very well planned trip. Excellent guide very knowledgeable about the history and culture of Iceland. Accommodation was good and well situated on tour. Would highly recommend. Marketing review The only issue was the excessive amount of emails from TourRadar after booking and prior to trip. Received something almost every day from marketing that gave the impression we had not booked a trip. They were confusing as had to be read carefully to ensure they did not apply to booked trip.Show more

What a great trip! This was helped by fine weather for the 9 days and our fantastic guide, Pall. He related to the group very well regarding the history of Iceland and told a few stories, some historical and some mythical. There was some sickness in our group and this was handled calmly and efficiently by Pall. Sure, Iceland is expensive, but the beautiful scenery makes it a must to see. Thank you ExodusShow more
