What people love about Iceland Tours in September
- 8 Day - Iceland Northern Lights Tour
Guide was very informative and helps I every way
- 7 Day - Complete Iceland
Hjalti knows his country intimately and, in addition to taking us to amazing places on the 6-day Ring Road Tour in Iceland, he gave us insight into history and culture. We got an exposure that would not have happened with anyone else. His patience and good humor made us feel well taken care of.
- 5 Days Land of Northern Lights
It was an absolutely well managed tour! We ended up seeing a lot in the 3 days and got lucky with the northern lights! Anais was very knowledgable and her dry sense of humour kept us entertained throughout. The stay in hella was really really nice! I definitely recommend this tour!

What are the best activities to do in Iceland during September?

For accommodations the Fosshotel Baron in Reykjavik and Hotel Dyrholaey in Vík serve as practical bases especially for those hoping to catch the northern lights.
Can I see the Northern Lights in Iceland during September?
September signals the start of aurora viewing season as nights grow longer and darker. Properties like Hotel Hamar near Borgarnes and Fosshotel Núpar provide clear views away from urban light pollution. A recent visitor reported: "We saw amazing Northern Lights three times during our September trip while staying at countryside hotels away from Reykjavik."
What festivals or events happen in Iceland during September?
The cultural calendar comes alive in September with the Reykjavik International Film Festival and the traditional Réttir sheep roundup. Local food festivals pop up throughout Reykjavik and concert venues like Harpa Concert Hall begin their main season. Downtown Reykjavik hotels place visitors in the heart of these cultural happenings.
What are the crowd levels like in Iceland during September?
Tourist numbers drop noticeably in September compared to summer peaks. Visitors report shorter wait times at major attractions like the Blue Lagoon and Gullfoss waterfall. The Golden Circle route becomes more manageable and hotels such as Fosshotel Baron in Reykjavik often have better availability at lower rates.
What wildlife can you see in Iceland during September?
September offers final chances to spot puffins before migration particularly around Borgarfjörður Eystri. Whale watching excursions from Húsavík and Akureyri regularly encounter humpback whales and dolphins. As one visitor noted: "Our September whale watching tour from Akureyri was incredible - we saw multiple humpbacks and even some dolphins." Hotels like Hotel Akureyri provide convenient access to wildlife viewing areas.
What is the weather like in Iceland during September?
September temperatures typically range from 7-12°C (45-54°F) with some rainfall as summer transitions to autumn.

TourRadar travelers note the "breathtaking views with less extreme weather conditions than winter months." Hotel Stracta in Hella serves as a strategic point for experiencing Iceland's varied September weather.
