Experience Iceland at Its Best with Discover.is
August is one of the most magical months to explore Iceland — offering long daylight hours, mild weather, lush green landscapes, and endless opportunities for adventure. While group tours can take you to the popular sights, nothing compares to the freedom, comfort, and personal touch of a private tour.
Here’s why August is the perfect time to choose a private tour in Iceland with Discover.is:
Ideal Weather and Road Conditions
August boasts some of the best weather Iceland has to offer. With average temperatures between 10–15°C (50–59°F), it’s comfortable for sightseeing and outdoor activities. More importantly, the highland roads (like those to Landmannalaugar or Þórsmörk) are fully open — and our super jeeps are ready to take you there.
Access to Remote and Scenic Locations
Many of Iceland’s most stunning natural wonders are located off the beaten path. A private tour allows you to go beyond the Golden Circle — to hidden waterfalls, geothermal valleys, lava fields, and volcanic craters. Our expert local guides at Discover.is know where to find the untouched beauty far from the crowds.
Travel at Your Own Pace
No rushed schedules or waiting for others. On a private tour, your itinerary is yours alone. Spend more time at the places you love, skip the spots you don’t, and enjoy Iceland on your terms.
Perfect Conditions for Photography
From glowing sunsets to vibrant landscapes and dramatic skies, August provides stunning photography conditions. A private tour gives you the time and flexibility to capture each moment — without being on someone else’s clock.

Tailored Experiences
Whether you want to hike through volcanic landscapes, soak in natural hot springs, explore ice caves, or go puffin spotting — we design your tour around your interests. You’ll have a guide dedicated solely to your journey.
Great for Families, Couples, and Small Groups
Private tours are ideal for honeymooners, families with kids, or friends traveling together. It’s a more intimate and memorable way to experience Iceland — with privacy, safety, and comfort.
