The ultimate list of things to do in Iceland:

  • First and foremost is to see the Northern Lights– Most people visit Iceland just to see this beautiful natural phenomenon. The best time to see these lights is in winter when the weather is clear. You are most likely to find them from September to April. If one decides to go looking for the Northern Lights, it will surely be worth it.
  • the midnight sun-If one has the opportunity to see the midnight sun illuminate the sky in different shades of pink and yellow, then one has already had a beautiful experience. This midnight sun makes Iceland’s long summer days even more enjoyable. It is out during the summer months and the best place to see it would be near the Sun Voyager, or in Grotta, Reykjavik.
  • The Glacier Lagoon– This impressive lagoon that is surrounded by glaciers and has icebergs floating in it, may be something that one wants to admire from afar or one could take a boat and ride in the lagoon. One should not miss the opportunity to make such memories.
  • Geothermal pools or The Blue Lagoon-This would be a major addition to the wish list. One must go for a swim or just relax in a geothermal pool. There are many such pools if you don’t want to visit this one, but to live up to tradition, swimming in a geothermally heated pool is a must.
  • And of course, the famous Geysers– Iceland is best known for its geysers and also has ‘Geysir’. The famous Strokkur geyser erupts every few minutes and can reach up to 130 feet into the air. It is truly a sight to behold. This is something that one will definitely want to include in their trips to Iceland.
  • Waterfalls– Most people who visit Iceland are surprised by how beautiful the waterfalls are. Each person has to stop to see one or even more than one. Seljalandsfoss is unique in that one can walk behind it to see it.
  • volcanoes– One may not be lucky enough to see a live volcano eruption, but surely one can feel the power of nature by standing near an active volcano spewing lava.

These are some of the things that should be on everyone’s wish list. If you are planning trips to Iceland. What benefit will this have? Well, true sights to behold, memories and photographs that one can keep for years to come.
