11 Very Best Trips In Iceland To Book – Hand Luggage Only

Iceland is the most incredible country to explore. With stunning natural sites, erupting volcanoes and small cities like Reykjavik to visit, it’s the kind of country that you can visit year after year and never really see it all. This all makes it really important to book the very best trips in Iceland when you visit. 

Now one thing that’s important in Iceland is to plan, plan, plan! Whether you drive to the best Icelandic spots, book a heap of excursions or plan to hike these epic spots in Iceland, just make sure to plan. 

You see, Iceland has a relatively limited infrastructure and hotels, tours and experiences can sell out in peak times. This is especially important to remember if you’re travelling across the country (where services are a little more sparse).

Boats can be directly boarded at Reykjavik’s harbour and it’s totally worth it to see the minke, orca, sperm and humpbacks. It’s well worth it, even if you don’t see all of them on one trip. 

If you wanted to book this fast RIB boat, book tickets on this whale-watching tour. It’s totally fun and the spotters can act quickly if whales are spotted. 

Oh, and a friendly reminder that this activity is not for people who have weak and shaky stomachs.

Remember, it is weather dependent, so if you’re dead set on whale watching, be sure to book your tickets a few days before you leave Iceland. This way, you can reschedule the whale-watching tour if the sea gets a bit too choppy.
