Know Before You Go: Iceland Tours
Where Will I Stay in Iceland?
Accommodations on Nat Hab Iceland journeys are selected for location, comfort and access to nature. Stays typically include small-town hotels, countryside lodges and remote regional properties positioned close to the landscapes explored each day.
Typical lodging features include:
Private bathrooms and warm, well-insulated guest rooms
On-site dining featuring Icelandic and seasonal ingredients
Comfortable common areas for relaxing after outdoor excursions

What Types of Lodging Will I Stay in on an Iceland Trip?
On an Iceland nature adventure, accommodations are selected for location, access and immersion rather than resort-style luxury. Because travel routes span diverse regions, itineraries often combine multiple lodging styles.
Common types of lodging in Iceland include:
Small hotels and guesthouses in scenic towns near waterfalls, fjords and coastal wildlife habitats
Countryside lodges and farm stays offering open views and insight into rural Icelandic life
Remote regional lodges, particularly in areas such as the Westfjords, where visitor numbers are lower
Highland-area accommodations, used as seasonal bases for exploring Iceland’s rugged interior during the summer access window
Properties are selected to reduce daily transit time and keep travelers immersed in Iceland’s natural environments.
What Can I Expect in Terms of Comfort and Amenities?
Hotels and lodges in Iceland are designed to be warm, functional and comfortable after full days outdoors. Even in remote regions, accommodations typically provide reliable amenities suited to Iceland’s cool climate and changing weather.
Most properties offer:
Private bathrooms with hot showers
Comfortable beds with quality linens
Effective heating and insulation
Cozy shared spaces with simple Nordic design
On-site dining featuring local cuisine
Wi-Fi is generally available in towns and larger properties, though connectivity may be limited in remote regions. In quieter areas, reduced connectivity is common and allows travelers to focus on landscapes, wildlife and photography.
