Discover Iceland 2025!
Updated April 2, 2025
Iceland is constantly changing, shaped by volcanic forces over thousands of years. Here, you can experience some of the world's most unique natural phenomena up close. Explore the Reykjanes Peninsula with its lava fields and geothermal areas. Visit the ice caves in Skaftafell, or unwind in the new River Baths along the Golden Circle. See famous landmarks like Geysir, the Ring Road, and the South Coast, but also make time for lesser-visited locations like Aldeyjarfoss along the Diamond Circle and Fjallsárlón glacier lagoon near Jökulsárlón.
2025 will be an especially exciting year to witness Iceland's dynamic landscapes. Visit in summer for midnight sun and bright nights. Come in winter for the Northern Lights, predicted to be the most spectacular in over a decade thanks to the solar maximum – a period whilst the sun is at its most active.

Popular activities and experiences
Iceland is much more than just volcanoes. There are glaciers, rivers, hot springs, waterfalls, mountains, deep canyons, and lava fields, with countless ways to explore these natural wonders. In 2025, we're introducing new activities such as whale watching in RIB boats, ATV tours, ice caving and glacier hiking in Skaftafell, and Northern Lights hunting in small groups. Take a dip in new spas like Vök Baths and GeoSea. Of course, the old favourites are still available – ride an Icelandic horse, go snowmobiling, or explore Iceland's landscapes with caving and glacier tours.
Spa and relaxation
Iceland is a unique spa destination thanks to its natural geothermal springs. From the iconic Blue Lagoon to the Sky Lagoon with its infinity pool, Iceland offers incredible bathing experiences. Soak in the floating pools of Vök Baths, the seawater pools at GeoSea, or the historic Secret Lagoon. In 2025, "The River Baths" will also open along the Golden Circle. Add geothermal baths to your itinerary – a perfect way to immerse yourself in Iceland's culture and nature at the same time. Our travel experts are happy to help include these experiences in your journey.
