Preeti Bhide, a local specialist from Iceland, helped this traveler put together a customized itinerary based on Iceland in Winter: How to make the most of limited daylight.
Thank you for your request. Welcome to kimkim, and thank you for your request. This is Preeti, I specialise in customised holidays all over Iceland and would be happy to help you with a fantastic holiday next February.
February is a great time to see Iceland in its beautiful winter cloak and the northern lights with very few tourist crowds.
I recommend a tour to the South Coast where you will see some of the most famous attractions of Iceland, visit some hot springs and some offbeat lesser known sights.
Some ideas for a different experience are ice caving and a tour inside the magma chamber of an extinct volcano.
Are you looking to drive yourselves or have guided group tours?
I am a Game of Thrones fan myself. We can definitely plan in a tour to the sites. If you prefer a self-drive, I can include all the filming locations as part of your detailed itinerary.
Let me know what you prefer and I can send you more details.
Preeti. Nice to meet you. We were hoping to go on guided tours since I am not so sure about driving in the snow and ice. Does that mean we will not be able to see any Game of Thrones locations?
It will be no problem to have guided tours, and we can also arrange a guided tour to the Game of Thrones filming locations, so no worries.
