Go sightseeing at nighttime

You can expect some of Iceland’s most popular attractions to be a bit crowded during the long

summer days of high-season. But if you are indeed visiting in mid-summer, you will be blessed by the unremitting midnight sun whose light lasts for 24 hours. Taking advantage of the endless days by travelling at night will let you avoid the crowds and experience a personal, magical moment of timelessness in nature’s amber embrace. The roads will be silent, the towns and villages asleep, and the stillness of the bright night air will be as enchanting as the wilderness it envelopes. Those who do not feel comfortable travelling by night alone can always seek the assistance of the handful of experienced guides who lead small groups on midnight sun tours, such as the Golden Circle, horse riding tour, and The midnight sun mountain hike tour. If you are not used to the bright summer nights of the arctic, and actually want to sleep during the night, you should remember to pack a sleeping mask, just so that your body will know when it is time to go to sleep.
