I'm interested in a tour to Iceland. I'm looking for northern lights, waterfalls, geysers, beaches, walks, volcanic landscapes. I would be traveling solo and would like to join a small group. I would prefer a private room with private bathroom. I would like to depart from Madrid in early February for approximately one week. The departure dates and duration are flexible.

This tour is perfect to experience Northern Lights, waterfalls, geyser, beaches and volcanic landscape. As there is a very short time until the 6th of February departure, we have released our allotment and will have to contact the hotels to confirm another room. Initial check shows that the hotels seem to have availability, but we can only book the rooms once you confirm your booking for the tour. If you are flexible on departure dates, then we have another departure for this tour on February 27th which still has confirmed availability.

There seems to be a discrepancy for the Meals in the Daily itinerary and the What's Included section. The Daily shows Dinners and the What's Included shows Breakfast and 1 lunch. Please clarify. I would also like to know the difference in this tour and the Small Group tour. Is it only the amount of people? Are more destinations included in the Small Group? Are the hotels the same?

This tour includes breakfast every day and 1x lunch. The difference is the size of the group, large group has a maximum of 40 passengers and small group has a maximum of 16 passengers. The tour it self is exactly the same, the hotels and everything!

Would like to ask whether, on each day when there is a Northern Light search opportunity, a guide is accompanying the group in the area, or if this is an activity that clients are expected to search for on their own, or whether the tour takes place in an area that is already suitable for viewing the Northern Lights?

Every night during the tour when you are with your guide, he will be outside with you to guide you in the direction to look, how to take the best photos etc. The accommodations in this tour are remote from any light pollution so if they are visible in general they are visible there so you just simply walk outside and try to catch a glimpse. But the guide will be there as well.

Would you recommend any additional sightseeing for my clients to add to their stay in Iceland in addition to your tour? If they want to eat at some specific resturants is that possible to arrange on the tour? For example, the Froheimar Greenhouse and in Arnarstapi the Beer Spa?

On our tour they will cover the South and West of the country. There are not many day tours that can cover an area that is not already covered in our tour, so I would rather recommend and activity, like a Glacier Hike or ATV tours. There is an optional Ice cave tour during our tour that can be booked with our guide.

Do you need a minimum number of people booked on each tour before it's considered a guaranteed departure? Are there luggage dimensions & weight specification limits for luggage on the bus? Can we book a room at the hotel in Reykjavik (Hotel Klettur) prior to when the tour starts if we want to get there 1-2 days earlier? Can we get the Flybus transfer vouchers if we arrive earlier and stay later than the actual tour dates? We really want to see the Northern Lights. What is the percentage of Northern Light sightings in March?

If a passenger is booked on a tour departure the tour will run. We have the same luggage as you have on a plane, one big suitcase and one small one. You can also have a backpack with you on the coach. Yes you can book the room through us and we honour the prices on our price list. The Flybus vouchers are an open ticket, so you are able to use them on the arrival day and departure day. The Northern Lights season is from September to mid-April. The longer you stay in Iceland during those months the more likely you are to see the Northern Lights. 2-night stay: About 20-25% chance. 4-night stay: About 60% chance. 5+ night stay: Over 85% chance. On the months where daylight is shorter, we do adapt the tour but you still see everything that is listed.

I can walk quite a bit, however being born in tropical country I am not great with icy roads. If this is the tour for us we'll come back to you.

This tour is very easy and a good fit for those who don't want to walk a lot. There is snow in Iceland in the winter months, but the places visited during this tour are all taken care of by the state. We still advise you to bring good shoes with you.

Would I be allowed to bring my walking poles? Are the temperatures in Celsius or Fahrenheit? What type of clothing should I bring for this time of the year? Are the offered excursions booked when we get there? What is a suggested tour for a 79 yr.old?

You can bring your walking poles, the temperature is Celsius and you should bring layers and waterproof clothes. There is an optional Ice cave tour that you can book with our guide when you arrive! This is a great tour for 79 yr. old's, the difficulty level is easy!

want a tour of iceland that finishes before the 12th Oct. 7-12 days.

We have a 5 day tour called 'Land of Northern Lights', with departure on October 7th-11th. Tour includes routes to the Golden Circle, South coast, Blue Lagoon and more popular places. The 'Northern Lights Exploration' tour is available next on October 10th.

We are retired and can go when are chances are higher. We are looking at 2026. Perhaps March. But could come a different month. Should we book around the new moon or is the moon not a part of the consideration of the northern lights this far north. Also can we get help with flights. I will look up flights but wonder whether to get there a day earlier to be safe.

No need to consider the moon when deciding on your travel date. We can book you an extra night in Reykjavik before the tour if you want to arrive a day earlier!

We just completed our Northern Lights tour with Martina & Franz from GJ Travel on 24 October. We cannot emphasise enough, not just how good the tour was, but Martina & Franz are THE BEST at what they do. The passion they have for Iceland is infectious and having completed our tour I fully understand why. Such a beautiful country that cannot be captured on a phone because my eyes were seeing so much more beauty than the lens could capture and it captured a lot. Additionally, the administration of GJ (we booked direct) was so great to deal with, as we were able to arrange everything and make necessary changes with such ease. Also, being 6’2” or 188cm, the coach was spacious and uber comfortable which is always a significant concern that was immediately resolved upon boarding. Seriously, the ultimate experience from start and to finish in that magnificent Blue Lagoon (tourist trap or not) was a wonderful way to end what was a magical experience. So thank you thank you thank you. We will certainly be recommending you to friends, family and anyone who will listen.Show more

Martina and Franz were the best tour guides ever! GJ Travels should definitely put them together more often. They were very well organized and super super friendly. Martina was also full of information on Iceland and its history. We had a windstorm where the day was almost cancelled, but Martina was able to work with it and still let us do everything that was on the itinerary. Even on the unplanned weather event everything still went perfectly. I fell in love with Iceland on this trip!Show more

My Iceland experience through GJ Travel was purely sublime. The itinerary was excellent and Andres, our guide, was informative. Iceland truly deserves the reputation of being the Land of Fire and Ice. I encountered the ice first hand and saw the effects of the fire part throughout the places we have visited. Seeing waterfalls, lava caves, ice caves, lava fields and volcanoes make up for a truly remarkable Icelandic experience. The Icelandic people I have met were all lovely. They speak English fluently. The passport control officer even wished me a happy birthday. Andres, our guide, educated us of every volcano, mountain, lava field, lakes, shores and beaches, waterfalls, practically on everything that we passed by. He regaled us of stories of the Yule lads and trolls, of elves, of the Vikings, of sagas and folk lores, and of Iceland’s rich literature. He must have been a teacher in another life (I did hear him mention, “my students”.) He tried to manage our expectations about seeing the Northern Lights (the weather forecast was not cooperating) and I believe he was as happy as us when the magical and mesmerizing Northern Lights appeared. It seemed that he made it his personal mission for us to see the lights and I seem to have seen the pressure being lifted from his shoulder when we did. Thank you Andres for all the information. I have to read up on it now to retain it. 😊 The hotel staff were wonderful. Wake up calls were scheduled when the lights appeared. The guides for the lava and ice caves were both informative and delightful. The accommodations provided a warmth atmosphere in the cold and remote locations the tour brought us to. The only service that I did not find too satisfactory was the FlyBus. Although information was provided by GJ Travel ahead of time, the experience could have been better. It is a series of two buses; one that brings you to the bus station after which you transfer to a smaller bus to take you to your destination identified by colour zones. On my arrival, the second driver did not come to the waiting area nor announce her colour zone. I nearly missed her. It was a good thing I saw a red sign she was holding that I went to ask. On my departure, the driver that took us to the airport did not assist passengers with their luggage. Each passenger literally crawled in the underbelly of the bus to retrieve his/her suitcase/s. Is Iceland expensive? Yes! A 2.5 kilometre taxi ride was $30.00. Dining is prohibitive but the other choice is to starve. It is what it is. I always try local dishes when I travel and I have mentally prepared for this. A single dish costs at least $50.00. The menu is also limited. It is either lamb, fish or burgers. (Burgers are $50.00. No wonder MacDonald’s did not survive). I tried lamb (3x) and it was delicious. It was a breath of fresh air when I saw chicken and pasta as choices on one hotel. The server recommended the pasta and it was good. For lunches, there are not much in terms of choices in remote locations, so, we either went to a cafe or grocery stores. Sandwiches in grocery stores were a lot more reasonable price wise. I tried the ham, Brie and cranberry sandwich and it was delicious. The hiccups were minor and did not in anyway dampen my Icelandic experience. I have already started researching to go back and see the midnight sun.Show more

  Can I book for both of us and get the discount. Also, I'm a little confused about when to book my flight. If I leave at 7:40 pm from Toronto on Nov. 6th what time would we arrive in Reykjavik, Iceland. If we arrived early the next morning, what time can we get a ride on the shuttle and get into our hotel. Also, I read that there are fewer restaurants open at this time of the year. Is that true?

  Once you book the tour, we will arrange the discount on our end. If you fly out in the evening on the 6th I estimate that you're arriving in Iceland in the morning of the 7th. The voucher you'll receive for the airport shuttle is flexible so you'll be able to arrange whatever time is most convenient for you at the FlyBus desk at the airport when you arrive. The standard check-in time at the hotel is at 15:00 so if you want to guarantee early check-in we recommend booking a pre-night. In Reykjavík most restaurants are open all year round so you'll have plenty of options in the downtown area. It's mostly in the countryside where some restaurants close during the winter season.

Asked on September 9th, 2025
We are retired and can go when are chances are higher. We are looking at 2026. Perhaps March. But could come a different month. Should we book around the new moon or is the moon not a part of the consideration of the northern lights this far north. Also can we get help with flights. I will look up flights but wonder whether to get there a day earlier to be safe.

  No need to consider the moon when deciding on your travel date. We can book you an extra night in Reykjavik before the tour if you want to arrive a day earlier!

  What are the best months to see the northern lights next year. Both winter/ spring and fall/ winter.
- GJ TravelOperator•Written September 2025
  The Northern Lights are visible from September until mid April, any time during that period is a great month to see them.
