There are many attractions to see and activities to do in
Iceland in October. Some winter experiences begin, and you can still see places that will soon close until the spring. It’s one of the least-busy months of the year, making it a great time to see much-loved sights without the crowds. Horse riding,
glacier hiking, diving and snorkeling, and snowmobiling are just a few of the many activities you can do in Iceland in October. October brings longer, darker nights. Therefore, there are great opportunities to see the
northern lights. On a clear October night, you can enjoy awe-inspiring views of the aurora borealis. And during the day, there is enough light to make the most of the range of activities offered. October is the last month for a boat ride across Jokulsarlon glacier lagoon and day hikes are still possible.
