Daylight through the year

Iceland's daylight swings further than almost anywhere people holiday, and it decides what a tour can actually show you. Times are for the 15th of each month at this spot.

What is seasonal here

None of these have fixed dates, so each one says what its real dates depend on.

Midnight sun

May–July

True midnight sun only above the Arctic Circle — Grímsey. The mainland gets civil twilight all night, which looks much the same.

Lupine in bloom

June–July

Introduced, controversial and impossible to miss when it flowers. Peaks a fortnight later in the north than the south.

What people do here

Getting here without a car

The 30 tours we sell that stop at Friðheimar leave from Reykjavík, Selfoss and Flúðir · Secret Lagoon, with a handful from one other town. Most of them start in Reykjavík, so for anyone based in the capital there is nothing to arrange beforehand.

28 of the 30 collect you from your accommodation or a designated stop, so the tour is the transport — there is nothing else to arrange and no timetable to read.

A seat on a day tour here starts at €114 and typically runs €213, per person, private charters excluded because those are priced per vehicle and would flatter the figure. There is no scheduled bus we can sell you to Friðheimar, so a guided day is the practical way in without a car.

The days themselves run from about 1 h to 12 h door to door, so check the length as carefully as the price — the cheapest seat is often the longest coach day. 15 different operators run here, which matters more without a car than with one: if the weather cancels your day, there is usually another departure rather than a lost trip.

Being driven is the easy answer here: enough operators run it that a cancellation rarely loses you the day, and you get to look out of the window instead of at the road.

Cheapest way in without a car: a guided day tour from Reykjavík, from €114 per person.

We have done the sums on this properly: what a rental car actually costs against guided tours.
