Glacier lagoons, black sand beaches, hot springs under the northern lights and hotels where you can see the sky from your bed. Iceland is a beautiful place to start married life, and a quiet one: outside Reykjavík you can drive for an hour and see more waterfalls than people.
We are a local travel agency in Iceland, and we plan private honeymoons and couples' trips for our guests every year. Looking for other trips? See all our Iceland vacation packages. Below are three ready-made honeymoon packages, two with your own private guide and one self-drive. Each is a starting point. We change the hotels, the pace and the activities to suit you, and add the extras you want.

Questions people ask
When is the best time for a honeymoon in Iceland?
It depends on what you want to see. From September to April you have long nights and a chance of the northern lights, and in winter the natural ice caves are open. From May to August the days are long, the roads are open and you can see the midnight sun. September and March give you a bit of both.
Can we change the hotels or the length of the trip?
Yes. The three packages are starting points. We can add or remove nights, choose between the hotels listed on this page, move between private days and self-drive days, or plan a completely different route. If you have another hotel in mind, we plan it as a custom trip.
Should we choose a private tour or self-drive?
Choose private if you want to relax and look out of the window, especially in winter when the roads can be icy. Choose self-drive if you like to set your own pace and enjoy driving. You can also mix the two, for example a private guide for the Golden Circle and a car for the rest.
Can you add a special surprise for our partner?
Yes. Tell us what you have in mind (flowers, champagne, a private dinner, a photographer) and we will check what is possible and confirm the price before you book. We keep it a secret if you ask us to.
How much does an Iceland honeymoon cost?
Our honeymoon trips start from about 282,600 ISK for two for a 7-day self-drive and from 495,800 ISK for a 6-day trip with your own private guide. The final price depends on the season and the hotels you choose. Send us your dates and we reply within 24 hours with a full plan and price.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can. The glass lodges and the hotels by the glacier lagoon have few rooms, and summer and the Christmas and New Year weeks fill up first. Send us your dates and we will tell you what is still available.
Can we see the northern lights on our honeymoon?
If you travel between September and April, you have a good chance on clear, dark nights. We pick hotels away from city lights, and we can add a northern lights cruise or a private northern lights tour. The aurora is never guaranteed, so we plan the trip to be special even on cloudy nights. See our private and luxury Northern Lights tours.
