About this Iceland tour

Throughout our journey, you’ll have the chance to meet fellow travelers, explore breathtaking locations together, and share unforgettable campfire moments under the midnight sun with your new friends!

As the Iceland tour approaches, I’ll send over a detailed packing list to help you get ready for your epic camper van adventure around Iceland’s Ring Road.

Leading a group across the entire Ring Road is no small feat, so I’m teaming up with a local Icelandic guide to make sure this bucket list trip becomes a reality for everyone.

If you’re looking to fully immerse yourself in Iceland, consider adding an optional 2-night stay in Reykjavik to your trip.

This package includes 4-star hotel accommodations just outside Reykjavik’s city center—perfect for relaxing and unwinding after an adventurous journey around the island in your camper van.

The optional Reykjavik package also features a whale watching safari, a walking food tour, entry to the Blue Lagoon, and free time to explore Reykjavik at your own pace.

To ensure we’re ready to hit the road by 11:00am on June 4th, be sure to pick up your camper van by 9:00am on that day or the evening before.

This Iceland tour will be limited to 13 camper vans to keep the experience intimate and fun! Note that your camper van reservation will be separate from booking the tour itself.

Lastly, please keep in mind that Iceland’s weather can be unpredictable. If conditions affect any of our planned activities, we’ll adjust the itinerary to ensure the safest and most enjoyable experience possible.

A little bit about visiting Iceland during the summer

Traveling to Iceland during the summer offers a truly amazing experience, especially for a group tour.

With long daylight hours (thanks to the midnight sun) you’ll have more time to explore the stunning volcanic landscapes, endless waterfalls, black sand beaches and geothermal areas without being rushed.

The weather is generally mild, making outdoor adventures like hiking, soaking in the geothermal saunas, and camping more comfortable and enjoyable.

Summer also brings lush greenery, accessible roads, and clearer weather, making it the perfect season for an epic road trip.

While the weather in Iceland can still be unpredictable (be sure to pack a set of waterproof outerwear) it’s generally mild and we won’t encounter snow and ice that cover the island during the colder months.

What are the trip dates?

Below are the start and end dates for the Iceland tour. You’ll either want to arrive first thing on June 4th so you can grab your camper around 9:00am, or the prior evening.

If you decide the arrive the prior evening, be sure to reserve your camper van for an additional day.

• June 4th – 11th, 2025
• June 11th – 13th, 2025 (optional Reykjavik add on)

A perk of arriving the prior evening is that you’ll have more time to settle into your camper van, organize and grab any last minute supplies or rentals you’ll need before we embark on our tour of the island.
