Do you ever walk away from your trips thinking there are never enough hours in the day? If so, adventure to Iceland between late-May to July! This is when we have the famed “midnight sun.”
 
So what causes this to happen you might wonder? Good question! The tilt of the Earth's axis toward the sun causes Iceland to experience “midnight sun” during summertime. This, in turn, makes it so you can adventure in an endless supply of daylight! So let's talk about all of the awesome benefits …
  1. You can visit touristy locations with fewer people (if you go after peak hours).
  2. Do more on your Iceland schedule!
  3. If you're a photography lover, you'll enjoy the warm colors and dark shadows that come near or after midnight.
  4. Enjoy better weather than the rest of the year!
  5. Savor the crazy greens that somehow get greener during this time! 
  6. Flora and fauna are in full bloom! And if you're a fan of the purple flowers (Alaskan lupine) that line the roads here, then make your way here between mid-June and mid-July!  There are a ton on the way to / from the majority of our adventure tours
  7. Birds galore, including sweet little puffins nesting!
  8. Hike your heart out with some of our favorites!
