Experience Top January Adventures in Iceland
Have you ever considered visiting Iceland in the winter? When I think of Iceland in January, I picture dark days, icy roads, and an abundance of snow. For adventure seekers, it’s the perfect time to escape the crowds, hop on a snowmobile tour, and witness the enchanting northern lights.
Why is January a great time to visit Iceland?
Escape the crowds
January is considered the off-season in Iceland, making it the perfect time to avoid the crowds. While many visit around Christmas and New Year's Eve, January offers a quieter experience, with snowy roads often all to yourself. But don't worry - with the expertise of our local guides you will never feel alone. All our multi day tours are fully customised and our guides are ready you to take to the most amazing corners of Iceland.
Experience the Northern Lights
January is a great month to witness the Northern Lights. With only about four hours of daylight at the start of the month, there’s plenty of time to venture into the darkness in hopes of catching a glimpse of the magical aurora borealis. On our private northern lights tour , your guide will navigate rough terrain in a comfortable super jeep while you can enjoy a cup of hot chocolate to keep you warm.
Explore the glaciers
With blue skies and snow-covered peaks, January’s weather is perfect for glacier exploration. A thrilling snowmobile ride on Langjökull glacier offers a front-row seat to experience Iceland's stunning winter landscapes.
Personal recommendation: pair your snowmobile tour with a private super jeep Golden Circle adventure. You won't regret it!

How to pack for your winter adventure
There’s no such a thing as bad weather, only bad clothing. Be prepared for your winter adventure and pack only what you will truly need. Here are few important tips that will help you get ready for your January trip:
Dress in layers - Opt for merino wool or synthetic materials for your base layer, and avoid cotton. For your middle layer, go with more merino wool or fleece for warmth and comfort.
Choose waterproof and windproof outwear – A good shell jacket and pants are essential. You will most likely experience all kinds of weather conditions, from snow and rain to getting wet behind waterfalls, so make sure your outerwear can handle it all.
Wool, wool, wool – Wool is the best material for your accessories like hats, mittens, and scarves. Pack a pair of wool socks as well - you will thank me later.
Sturdy footwear is a must – If you're planning to hike, make sure to bring solid hiking boots. Even if you're not hiking, waterproof boots are highly recommended as Iceland’s terrain can be uneven, wet, and slippery.
Don’t forget a swimsuit - Who could resist dipping in one of many Icelandic hot springs? Make sure to pack a swimsuit so you can enjoy this bucket-list experience!
