I'm looking to book 2026. I'm looking to see active volcanism if possible and the Northern Lights.

The Northern Lights are in the northern sky from September through April but are only visible when the sky is clear and free of clouds. While Iceland is known for its volcanic activity, with eruptions occurring on average every 5 years, there's no active eruption currently taking place. The most recent eruption on the Reykjanes Peninsula started on April 1, 2025, but it has since slowed significantly, and there's no visible activity.

Andri was an excellent guide. He shared a lot of information, was humorous and worked hard to keep us happy. Safety and making sure our needs were met was important to him. The Hotel Cabin is clean and has great staff making sure you use a suitcase that can go under a raised bed as the rooms here are much smaller than the other hotel that is bigger and clean as well. Icelanders are kind and helpful. I am happy with the tour and will have amazing memories of beautiful places I saw this week. I would love to return in the summer and see more of Iceland with Andri again. When you email, Tourradar answers very quickly. The tour is worth the cost and even if you don’t see the Northern lights due to weather issues do not forget the other beautiful places you got to see. Bring waterproof lined clothes, good gloves and boots, as well as a disposable rain poncho (maybe hand warmers too). We were warm in the hotels, van and restaurants. Read about the cost of restaurants and sweaters so you know the cost difference . I highly recommend the tour.Show more

The itinerary was excellent, with well-arranged meals, accommodations, and transportation. The five-day, four-night trip included sightseeing on all five days, allowing us to see and learn a great deal, gaining a deeper understanding of Spain's ancient history. Our guide Carmen,and driver, were both wonderful. My only slight regret was that spending three hours in Merida on the first day at noon would have been preferable to arriving in Seville before 5 PM!Show more
