🇮🇸 Visiting Iceland in October? I’m already excited for you.
SAVE this video! 🍂❄️

October gives you a little bit of autumn AND winter - and it’s seriously very underrated. 

🌌 Great month for Northern Lights
🍂 Beautiful autumn colors
👋 Fewer tourists
💰 Often better prices
🌡️ Around 6–7°C / 43–45°F during the day
🌅 11+ hours of daylight early October → around 8 hours by the end
❄️ You might even catch the first snow!

What to do in October?
✔️ Northern Lights hunting
✔️ Golden Circle
✔️ South Coast
✔️ Glacier adventures
✔️ Geothermal lagoons
✔️ The Reykjavík Food Walk 

All above tours can be found on our website at wakeupreykjavik.com 🧡

FIY: October weather can be VERY Icelandic 😂 Pack warm waterproof layers, good shoes, a hat and gloves. Be prepared for all kinds of weather conditions.

🇮🇸 Sky Lagoon vs. Blue Lagoon - which one is better? 👀

🌊 Sky Lagoon
Just outside Reykjavík with warm geothermal water, incredible ocean views and the relaxing 7-step Ritual.

💙 Blue Lagoon
Located in a volcanic lava field, famous for its milky-blue geothermal seawater rich in silica, algae and minerals.

Both are incredible, but offer VERY different experiences. 😍

So… which one are you choosing?  SKY or BLUE? 👇

POV: You booked the South Coast tour 🇮🇸🤪

If you only have one full day to explore outside Reykjavík, this is a pretty incredible way to spend it. 😍

In one adventure you’ll visit:

Seljalandsfoss - one of Iceland’s most iconic waterfalls and in my opinion, one of the most beautiful ones in Iceland. 
Gljúfrabúi - the hidden waterfall tucked away between the cliffs
Skógafoss - the BIG waterfall you absolutely need to see in person, you can also hike 5.000steps to look above it! Crazy 
Sólheimajökull Glacier - hike a little bit to get close to an actual Icelandic glacier 
Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach - dramatic cliffs, basalt columns and that famous black sand beach 
Vík - the charming little coastal town surrounded by some incredibly beautiful scenery

And the best part? You don’t have to plan or drive any of it. 🙌🏼 You just sit back and relax.

The South Coast Adventure is a small-group tour with a maximum of 19 guests, pickup from Reykjavík and a guide taking you to some of our favorite places along the way. It’s a 10 hour tour, starts at 9 A.M. and you’re back in Reykjavik around 7 P.M.

What more could you want? 🇮🇸

SAVE this for your Iceland trip & check out the South Coast Adventure on our website! 🧡

Want to take a little piece of Iceland home with you? 🇮🇸

The traditional Icelandic lopapeysa is more than just a warm wool sweater - it’s an iconic part of Icelandic culture, hand-knitted from Icelandic wool and made to keep us warm during the long Icelandic winters. 

If you want your own wool sweater, stop by the Handknitting Association of Iceland downtown Reykjavik.

📍 Skólavörðustígur 19, 101 Reykjavík
Just down the street from Hallgrímskirkja! 🧶

Would you take a lopapeysa home from Iceland? 👀

Horseback riding in Iceland 🇮🇸🐴 Definitely one for the Iceland bucket list.

Icelandic horses are unlike any other, smaller, incredibly strong, and famous for their five gaits. And getting to experience them while surrounded by Icelandic nature makes it even more special. 

Want to experience it for yourself? We have this horseback riding tour available to book on our website! 🤍
