Daylight through the year

Iceland's daylight swings further than almost anywhere people holiday, and it decides what a tour can actually show you. Times are for the 15th of each month at this spot.

What is seasonal here

None of these have fixed dates, so each one says what its real dates depend on.

Midnight sun

May–July

True midnight sun only above the Arctic Circle — Grímsey. The mainland gets civil twilight all night, which looks much the same.

Lupine in bloom

June–July

Introduced, controversial and impossible to miss when it flowers. Peaks a fortnight later in the north than the south.

What people do here

Getting here without a car

The 19 tours we sell that stop at Deildartunguhver leave from Reykjavík and Borgarfjörður. Most of them start in Reykjavík, so for anyone based in the capital there is nothing to arrange beforehand.

18 of the 19 collect you from your accommodation or a designated stop, so the tour is the transport — there is nothing else to arrange and no timetable to read.

A seat on a day tour here starts at €115 and typically runs €193, per person, private charters excluded because those are priced per vehicle and would flatter the figure. There is no scheduled bus we can sell you to Deildartunguhver, so a guided day is the practical way in without a car.

The days themselves run from about 6 h to 10 h door to door, so check the length as carefully as the price — the cheapest seat is often the longest coach day. 13 different operators run here, which matters more without a car than with one: if the weather cancels your day, there is usually another departure rather than a lost trip.

Being driven is the easy answer here: enough operators run it that a cancellation rarely loses you the day, and you get to look out of the window instead of at the road.

Cheapest way in without a car: a guided day tour from Reykjavík, from €115 per person.

We have done the sums on this properly: what a rental car actually costs against guided tours.

How many tours go to Deildartunguhver?

We list 33 — 19 day tours and 14 multi-day packages, from 14 operators. That is what we currently have contracts for, not everything that exists in Iceland.

When can you visit Deildartunguhver?

Looking at the next 360 days of live availability, departures fall in September, October, November, December, January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August. That is a rolling window rather than the full year, so a month missing here is not necessarily a month with nothing running.

January: 5 h 5 min · March: 11 h 33 min · June: 21 h 27 min · September: 13 h 13 min · December: 3 h 57 min. Iceland stays on UTC all year, so there is no clock change to allow for.

Do you need a tour, or can you drive to Deildartunguhver yourself?

Both work. Driving gives you the stops you want and the time you want them; a tour removes the winter road decisions and lets everyone look out of the window. We sell the tours and say so — if self-driving suits you better, it suits you better.

Yes — 19 guided day tours in our catalogue stop here. 18 of the tours pick you up from your accommodation, so no onward transport is needed.

Put it in a day
