Iceland for couples

A private guide and 4x4 for the south coast and the highlands, with the northern lights in winter and the midnight sun in summer.

Iceland for two is weather, light and the sense of being far from everything. A private guide takes the planning out of the weather and knows where the lights or the light will be; a good lodge with a hot pool does the rest.

Tell us the season and how many nights. Five to seven covers the south; ten covers the Ring Road.

Where we go

The south coast for the waterfalls, glaciers and black beaches; the Golden Circle on the way; the Snaefellsnes peninsula or the Westfjords for emptiness; the highlands by super-jeep in summer. Reykjavik for a night at either end.

How the week runs

A private guide and 4x4 throughout, with days built around the light and the forecast. A glacier walk, an ice cave in winter, a private hot spring, a boat among icebergs. Evenings in a lodge with a view and a geothermal pool.

Who it suits and when

Honeymoons, anniversaries and couples who like the outdoors. September to March for the northern lights; June to August for the midnight sun and the highlands; shoulder months are quiet.

Best time
June to August for long days and the highlands. September to March for the northern lights.

Questions about couples and honeymoons in Iceland

Will we see the northern lights?

Nobody can promise it. Dark skies, a flexible plan and a guide who chases the forecast give the best chance, from September to March.

Is there a planning fee?

No. The first conversation and the proposal are free. You pay when you accept the plan.

Is this a live booking?

No. It is a starting point. A specialist writes a private proposal and availability is confirmed then.

Plan couples and honeymoons in Iceland

A specialist replies personally with a first private proposal: stays, pacing, and a guide price. No obligation for the first conversation.
