Group Solo Travel in Iceland

Travel solo as part of a group tour to Iceland

Why travel solo to Iceland?

Everywhere you turn while traveling solo in Iceland, you’ll be awed by one of the most unique landscapes on earth.

Imagine lava fields threaded with glacial rivers and distant volcanic peaks. Mysterious ravines that pave the way for remote hiking routes. Vast tundra that melts to reveal wildflowers in spring and summer and mighty-sounding landmarks, such as the Valley of Thor, shrouded in a fine mist. Iceland’s terrain is as dramatic as it is beautiful, shaped by the constant shifting of tectonic plates.

If it’s off-grid hiking you’re after, summer is the best time to visit. The landscape comes to life with days of endless light under the Midnight Sun, bringing flora and fauna to the valleys.

Winter offers adventure via glacier hiking, snowmobiling and geothermal pools set beneath the Northern Lights.

Whether you’re seeking a magical winter or a summer adventure, travel solo to Iceland for a group tour and you’re in for an outdoor experience like no other.
