Iceland

Discover amazing tours and travel packages in Iceland

Iceland is a Nordic island nation known for its dramatic contrasts of fire and ice, where active volcanoes sit beside sprawling glaciers, and geothermal hot springs bubble beneath snow-capped mountains. For travelers from the UAE, Iceland offers something few destinations can: a complete escape from desert heat into a landscape of waterfalls, black sand beaches, glacier lagoons and the ever-changing Northern Lights. The capital, Reykjavik, blends Scandinavian design, lively food culture and easy access to the famous Golden Circle route, while the Ring Road links the entire country's natural highlights in one unforgettable journey. Iceland tour packages from the UAE typically combine the classic Golden Circle, South Coast waterfalls, the Blue Lagoon and either summer whale watching or winter aurora hunting, depending on the season chosen. Families enjoy the safe, easy-to-navigate roads and hands-on nature experiences, while couples are drawn to Iceland as a honeymoon destination for its dramatic scenery and cosy geothermal retreats. Because Iceland sits within the Schengen Area, travel planning from Dubai, Abu Dhabi or Sharjah follows familiar European travel patterns, making it a practical addition to a wider Nordic or European itinerary. Whether the goal is chasing the midnight sun in July or the aurora borealis in a dark December sky, Iceland rewards visitors with landscapes that feel genuinely otherworldly, and TravelChoice designs each itinerary around the season, pace and experiences that matter most to the traveler.

Why Visit Iceland?

Highlights of a Iceland holiday include:

  • Chase the Northern Lights: Iceland's dark winter skies, away from major city lighting, make it one of the most reliable places in Europe to spot the aurora borealis. Guided evening tours head to open countryside spots for the best visibility between September and March.
  • Soak in the Blue Lagoon: This milky-blue geothermal spa near Keflavik is famed for its silica-rich mineral water and volcanic surroundings. It's a relaxing first or last stop for travelers flying in or out of Iceland.
  • Drive the Golden Circle: A compact loop covering Þingvellir National Park, the Geysir geothermal area and the thundering Gullfoss waterfall, ideal for a full day of sightseeing close to Reykjavik.
  • Explore Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon: Massive icebergs calve from the Vatnajökull glacier and drift toward the sea, some washing up as glittering ice chunks on the nearby Diamond Beach.
  • Discover Reykjavik's Culture: Iceland's colorful capital offers Nordic design, geothermal pools, live music venues and a compact food scene, making it an easy base for both city exploration and countryside day trips.
  • Witness Powerful Waterfalls: Along the South Coast, Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss drop dramatically from volcanic cliffs, with Seljalandsfoss uniquely allowing visitors to walk behind the cascading water.
  • Spot Whales and Puffins: Coastal towns like Húsavík and the Westman Islands offer some of the best whale watching in Europe, alongside seasonal puffin colonies nesting on sea cliffs.
  • Walk on a Glacier or Ice Cave: Guided glacier hikes and, in winter, natural ice caves beneath Vatnajökull give travelers a rare, hands-on encounter with Iceland's frozen landscapes.
