Before you ask

Good questions.

When is the best time for an Iceland and Norway adventure trip?

Early to mid June. Mountain roads and glacier tours are open, Iceland gets about 20 hours of daylight, and in Lofoten the sun does not set at all from late May to mid July.

Do Indians need a visa for Iceland and Norway?

Yes. Both are in the Schengen area, so one Schengen visa covers the whole trip. You can apply up to six months ahead of travel.

Will we see the northern lights in June?

No. In June the sky never gets dark enough for the aurora. That is the trade for the midnight sun. Come back between September and March for the lights.

Is it too extreme for older travellers?

Every day has a gentle version: the cable car instead of the via ferrata, the boat instead of the surf. The Silfra snorkel needs a doctor's note for anyone over 60.
