Many airlines operate regular flights from major UK cities such as London, Manchester, Birmingham, Edinburgh and others to Iceland’s main entry point — Keflavík International Airport — usually with flight times around 3 to 4 hours. This accessibility allows travellers to plan short trips or longer itineraries without long transit times. Once you arrive, pre-arranged airport transfers or rental-car pickups are typically included in tour packages.
Travel packages help simplify logistics: flight + transfer + accommodation + tours all in one. For UK travellers — whether solo, couples, friends or families — packages offer convenience, cost transparency, and coverage of local transport, which may otherwise be challenging or expensive, especially in remote areas or during winter. They also often provide knowledgeable English-speaking guides familiar with Iceland’s weather, geography, and safety norms.
Ideal for travellers with limited time or those combining Iceland with other European trips. These packages typically include: direct or short-transit flights, airport transfer, 2–3 nights’ accommodation, a round-trip between Reykjavik and Keflavik, and a popular day tour such as the Golden Circle or a thermal spa visit (e.g. Blue Lagoon or similar). It’s a perfect way to experience a slice of Iceland’s beauty without committing many vacation days.
These are among the most balanced and popular packages from the UK. They cover signature Icelandic attractions: the Golden Circle , South Coast waterfalls & black-sand beaches, glacier lagoons such as Jokulsarlon , coastal cliffs, and often include a city stay in Reykjavik. Many packages also leave room for additional optional tours such as whale watching, horseback riding, or geothermal spa visits.
For those wanting more thrill and nature immersion, adventure packages include glacier hikes, ice-cave exploration (seasonal), volcano & lava-field tours, super-jeep excursions to remote regions, and coastal or highland drives. Such itineraries are perfect for travellers from the UK who seek a more active and immersive nature experience rather than just sightseeing.
Self-drive packages give maximum freedom and flexibility. Renting a vehicle, usually a 4×4, is common, and touring the full Ring Road — plus side-routes like the Snæfellsnes Peninsula or East Fjords — becomes possible. These packages combine car rental, accommodations, route guidance, and sometimes optional tours, making them suitable for independent travellers from the UK who want to set their own pace.
Travel packages focused on winter offer a magical Iceland experience — ice caves, snow-covered landscapes, frozen waterfalls, cozy lodging, and multiple chances to see the Northern Lights. Many UK travellers pick these packages for a dramatic change from typical European winters. Included are flexible transfers, guided winter hikes, and safety-ready transport, which is useful during icy or unpredictable road conditions.
For travellers who prefer comfort and exclusive experiences, premium packages include boutique hotels or countryside lodges, private transfers, curated excursions, spa visits, and sometimes helicopter or small-plane scenic flights. These packages combine Iceland’s wild beauty with refined experience — a great option for couples, honeymooners or luxury seekers coming from the UK.
