Iceland holidays: Experience a holiday to            Iceland or Greenland

Skogafoss waterfall, found in Skogar on the south coast of Iceland

Welcome to Discover the World, the world largest tour operator in the world to Iceland. We have been running holidays to Iceland for over 20 years and our tailor-made service ensures that we can put together a holiday that is right for you.

Imagine rounding a bend in the road as another magnificent waterfall comes into view; watching a geyser erupt majestically 100ft into the air; walking through a valley of such vivid colours it will take your breath away or relaxing in a hot tub as the midnight sun glints across the mountains beyond…don’t just imagine, visit Iceland.

We offer both summer and winter holidays to Iceland. In summer, take advantage of the long daylight hours, with the high season being June and August. The best months for wild flowers and birds are May and June, but if you want to travel through the uninhabited interior of Iceland, you should plan to visit mid-July to early September when most of the highland tracks are open. Other summer holidays include fly drives, whale watching and horse riding.

From late August until March, the spectacular northern lights can often be observed. Displays can vary in intensity from a glowing curtain of greenish yellow lights, dancing in the distance to a spectacular, multi-coloured fusion stretching across the sky.

Our city break to Reykjavik is popular all year round. In summer you can wander through the city and explore the surrounding countryside, or visit one of the many summer festivals. In winter marvel at the Christmas lights and festive celebrations and search the night skies for the Northern Lights. Whichever time of year you travel to Reykjavik you can also learn how to party the Icelandic way in the thriving capital city of Iceland!

"We had a brilliant holiday to Iceland and want to thank you for making the whole thing go smoothly. Iceland itself was magical, the natural sights were spectacular, no amount of photographs can do it justice and all the family were in awe of the country."
