Iceland

Depends on goals. May-September — for nature hikes, waterfalls and F-roads access. September-March — for northern lights and ice caves. June-July — polar day, great for long shoots. February-March — optimal winter (daylight is back, snow still around).

Depends on format and season: 5-8 days, from €1,400 to €2,800 per person. Price includes transfer, lodging, route, tour leader services. Flights and meals are separate. Exact prices for current dates — Telegram @machekin_a.

Schengen visa (category C). Iceland is in Schengen. Apply at any Schengen embassy or VFS visa center. Usually approved in 10-15 days. We provide tour confirmation and lodging bookings for your application.

Yes. Our tours are designed for people in normal physical shape with no special experience. Hikes are easy-to-moderate, up to 3-4 hours. No ice climbing or alpinism without separate qualification. Transport is a group minivan with a guide-driver.

Transfer from Keflavík airport, accommodation (3* guesthouses, sometimes farm hotels), all transport along the route, tour leader services, entry tickets to main sites (Blue Lagoon — optional). Not included: flights, meals, personal expenses.

Standard format is 6-8 people. It keeps the route flexible against weather and never feels mass-tourist. Everyone in one minivan, eats at the same places. Sometimes we form a 4-person mini-group by special request.

Key items — waterproof shell (Gore-Tex or similar), warm mid-layer (fleece/down), hiking boots, hat, gloves, swimsuit. Detailed packing list sent a month before the tour. See also our guide: what to pack for Iceland.

Tours from September to March include aurora hunting on free evenings — we drive to a dark spot when KP-index and weather align. Nature gives no guarantee, but over 5-6 nights in the right season, chance is ~70-80%. More: aurora guide.
