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.

Land of Fire and Ice

Iceland – Land of Fire and Ice

Magma Hotel is a unique accommodation built into a lava field, surrounded by lush green valleys and a crater lake. It offers a more upscale experience with beautifully furnished rooms and exceptional service. The hotel also features a delicious bistro serving breakfast and dinner.

Be advised that the hotel has two sets of cabins — one next to the main building, and the other one on the hill. The first set of cabins is lake-front with beautiful unobstructed views of the lava fields, while the cabins on the hill have some infrastructure facility in their view, completely butchering the promised experience.

Make sure to contact their front desk and ensure you stay in the cabins next to the main building if you don't want to stare at the bright lights at night, especially while catching the Northern Lights in winter. Yes, that was our unfortunate experience in the winter of 2023.

Here, black sand beaches clash with icy glaciers, and hidden hot springs promise warmth in the wild. Don't miss hiking in Landmannalaugar, where the rhyolite mountains paint the horizon in hues of orange and red.
