1. When is the best time to visit for Northern Lights Tours? 

In most cases, these activities are available from September to April, but the best time may vary depending on specific interests and weather conditions. For example, the shoulder seasons have increased Northern Light activity but the nights are shorter. Christmas and New Years celebrations add a festive vibe to the middle of winter.

2. Are these activities suitable for all ages? 

Many activities are family-friendly and suitable for all ages, though some may have age restrictions.

3. Can these tours be customized for private groups? 

Yes, many tour operators offer private and customizable tours. Contact us  and we can work on creating your dream adventure, tailor-made for you or your groups needs.

4. What makes Iceland’s geological features unique? 

Iceland’s geology is unique due to its volcanic activity, glaciers, lava fields, and geothermal features. In one day you can experience black sand beaches, lush mossy valleys, snow(yes even in the summer) and steep mountain terrain.

Raggi Recommends: February and March are my favorite months to guide these tours because the snow is deep and the crowds are gone. It’s a magical time to see the Northern Lights.

At Midgard, we offer a selection of tours and activities. Our signature tours are Super Jeep tours and hiking tours in Iceland’s untamed wilderness. We have also partnered with the best local providers and handpicked our favorite ice cave tours, snowmobile tours, horse riding tours, cultural experiences and everything else we would love to do ourselves if we were visiting Iceland.

Check out our multi-day tours, where we have carefully planned every day based on our local knowledge and experience. Our uniqueness is that our tours do not only include bucket list places but also Iceland raw and rugged, namely the Icelandic highlands. We don’t do big group trips that lack depth and authenticity. Everything is personal – in a good way! We like small groups where you can easily remember everyone’s name.
