Ring Road Adventure

Iceland

Spring is a bit chilly and not as green as summer, but most of the activities are open and crowds are not yet present. Roads in the Highlands and some hiking trails might still be closed.

Spring

Summer offers the most diverse Icelandic experience with warm weather, dramatic landscapes, roads and trails open, and Midnight Sun as a bonus. The crowds are plenty though.

Summer

Fall is chilly with more rain and wind. Two major benefits are a chance to catch the Northern Lights and visit ice caves that usually open in September. Crowds also disappear in early September.

Fall

Winters feature cold snowy weather, significantly limiting your transportation and activities. January and February are especially stormy. But winters open up some bucket list opportunities like observing the Northern Lights or visiting the best ice caves. You need to visit both in summer and winter to truly experience Iceland.
