DID YOU KNOW- THIS IS A GREAT WEEKEND TO BE IN ICELAND

JUNE 7 - Fishermen's Day (maritime festivals across Iceland; Reykjavík celebrates the Festival of the Sea all weekend)
It is a nationwide celebration held annually on the first weekend of June honoring the country's rich seafaring heritage and the sailors who sustain the island’s vital fishing industry.

During this weekend, most ships remain docked so fishermen can celebrate with their families. Festivities take place at harbors across the country, featuring family-friendly events, free sailing trips, live music, seafood tastings, and sometimes intense tug-of-war and swimming competitions.

Established in 1938 and made a legal holiday in 1987, it remains one of Iceland's 11 official flag days.

DID YOU KNOW- HIKING IN ICELAND IN JUNE

The roads to the Highlands open in June, as does the Laugavegur Trail, which connects the Landmannalaugar and Thorsmork nature reserves. You can find both guided and unguided hiking tours to these regions.

To add some extra adventure and awe to your excursion, why not try hiking or snowmobiling across one of Iceland’s glaciers? Despite the slightly warmer temperatures and prolonged daylight, Iceland's glaciers are still accessible in June.

These huge natural wonders look fantastic in the June sunshine and offer a different perspective of Iceland’s incredible landscapes.

DID YOU KNOW - IN ICELAND AND HEADING HEADING TOWARDS VIK?

There is a terrific restaurant you need to know about- The. Soup Company
With iconic attractions such as Skógafoss waterfall, Dyrhólaey lighthouse, and Reynisfjara black sand beach, South Iceland is the most popular destination outside Reykjavík for first-time visitors to the country.
Exploring the region calls for warm clothing and food that properly sustains you after long days outdoors.
“At first, the restaurant operated as a pop-up food truck for one summer, but due to its success among locals and travelers, we decided to make it permanent,” says Margrét.
While some cafés may offer refills, few restaurants extend this generosity to full meals. It’s a unique policy that truly sets The Soup Company apart, as all guests are welcome to enjoy a second bowl of soup free of charge.
Those craving bold flavors can opt for the Red Hot Lava Soup, a signature goulash made with Icelandic beef, chili, red onion, black beans, and grilled bell peppers.
For a taste of tradition, the classic Icelandic Lamb Soup is a must. Vegetarians will enjoy the Broccoli Cheddar, while vegans can savor the Indian Lentil Soup. Seafood lovers shouldn’t miss the Hurry Curry, a flavorful fish curry starring Icelandic cod.
For those who prefer variety, the tasting option includes three soups in the first serving, followed by three different soups with the second. This allows guests to sample a broader range of the kitchen’s offerings in one visit.
Soups are served either in a standard bowl or in a distinctive black bread bowl made with activated charcoal. Both options are designed to provide a warming, filling meal.

DID YOU KNOW - JUNE IN ICELAND IS GREAT FOR PUFFIN WATCHING
The best time to see the puffins in Iceland is in the summer. They arrive in May and leave in late August. The colony is usually the most active in the evenings. The birds stay outside of their burrows, resting on the grass before heading out to sea, where they spend the night roosting.
Puffins spend most of their lives out at sea, making it hard for anyone to find them. They only come ashore to lay their eggs and spend a few months of the summer in Iceland, while the chicks grow strong enough to take care of themselves.
In June, Iceland hosts the world's largest Atlantic puffin colony, with an estimated 8 to 10 million puffins nesting along the coastlines and offshore islands. This staggering figure accounts for more than 60% of the entire global population of Atlantic puffins.

DID YOU KNOW- HEADING TO ICELAND IN APRIL-HERE'S WHAT TO EXPECT FROM THE WEATHER

April in Iceland is a transitional, wet, and windy month with temperatures ranging from 32-45 F.
At the beginning of the month, the sun typically rises around 6:45 AM and sets just after 8:15 PM, offering about 13 hours of daylight.
By the end of the month, Iceland's April daylight hours stretch to just over 16 hours, with sunrise at around 5:15 AM and sunset close to 9:25 PM in Reykjavik.

Pack layers: thermal base layers (merino wool), fleece mid-layers, waterproof/windproof pants, and a waterproof parka. Essential, sturdy hiking boots are required for unpredictable weather, alongside a swimsuit for hot springs, beanie, and gloves.

Key Packing Essentials for April
Layers: Thermal base layers (tops and bottoms), fleece jackets, sweaters, or hoodies.
Outerwear: Crucial! A waterproof, windproof, and insulated parka or jacket.
Bottoms: Waterproof hiking pants or trousers.
Footwear: Sturdy, waterproof hiking boots with good grip.
Accessories: Warm wool socks, gloves (bring extra pairs), beanies, and scarves.
Swimwear: A must for the Blue Lagoon and other hot springs.
Gear: Daypack, reusable water bottle, power bank, and European plug adapters.
Optional: Crampons/ice cleats for icy, snowy paths.

Avoid cotton: It does not dry quickly and will keep you cold.
Check conditions: Monitor road.is and safetravel.is for updates.
Layers are key: The weather can change from sun to rain or snow in minutes.
Footwear matters: Do not bring trainers; you will need durable, waterproof hiking boots

DID YOU KNOW- WHEN IN NORTH ICELAND AND CRAVING FISH & CHIPS-WE/VE GOT YOU COVERED

World-class fish and chips by Lake Mývatn
Everyone knows that Iceland is famous for its fish, in particular its high-quality cod.
Now there’s a restaurant by the shores of Lake Mývatn in North Iceland that’s just won an international award for its fantastic fish and chips!
Keeping things simple, Fish and Chips Lake Mývatn has quickly established itself as one of the best places in North Iceland to feed on fish and chips.
That’s now been recognised by the National Fish & Chip Awards.

Judges at the international fish and chips competition in London named this small building by an Icelandic lake the best fish-and-chips restaurant outside the UK.
It’s a three-family team that includes local fishermen, first opened in 2022, and dedicated to using the best and freshest fish available every day, with a focus on sustainability.

They make their own sauces from scratch every day, using family recipes and only carefully selected natural ingredients, free from palm oil.
If you’re in the area on your travels around Iceland this summer, add it to your list of potential places for an outstanding dinner! Their 2026 season begins on April 23rd.

DID YOU KNOW- IN ICELAND, IF YOU NEED A VEGAN MEAL-YOU'RE IN LUCK
2 Restaurants have won Best of Reykjavik Vegan

Kemuri-
Kemuri is an ambitious little pierogi house that has for the past year served more than just nostalgic Polish fare. Vegan and vegetarian, handmade and made in house, Kemuri is also the first and only Polish restaurant on Reykjavík’s high street.
With inspired takes on traditional pierogies (the sauerkraut and mushroom ones are particularly moreish), seasonal specials (wild mushrooms in the fall, festive offerings during the holidays), cakes and bakes, dining here feels like a personal dream buoyed and built by the community.

Chickpea -
With their scratch made food, and we mean scratch made — everything you see in the counters and on your plate is made fresh everyday by the small yet efficient team behind Chickpea. This is slow fast food done well, made intentionally, and with love.
The wraps are either sourdough flatbreads or slow raised pita, the pickles are ugly rejects or a tie up with local cooperatives, all the condiments – kimchi, sauces and schmears traverse through Moldova somewhat, but the real star, the falafels, are made in the tradition of the dish.
Dry chickpeas are soaked and ground coarse with plenty of fresh herbs a la the Levantine version or lean a bit more Nordic with the hot pink hued beetroot falafel. The wraps are filled to the seams, bursting with flavor and we strongly recommend saving space for one of their sweet treats to finish.

DID YOU KNOW- ICELAND AND THE ARCTIC FOXES

The Arctic fox is the only native terrestrial mammal in Iceland and can be regarded as the first settler.

It is well adapted to survive in the freezing Arctic winters, with thick and insulating fur. The Arctic fox has been listed as a flagship species to monitor climate effects on Arctic wildlife. Iceland has the largest population of the Nordic countries.

Most people know the white-coated fox of the Arctic that turns darker in the summer. Arctic foxes can also have a dark brown coat, termed “blue,” which does not turn white in the winter. Iceland has foxes of both colours, and the blue coat is more common in coastal areas, while the white coat is more likely found in the highlands.

The Arctic fox is a solitary species with a monogamous mating system, and the pair stays together for as long as both live. Breeding occurs once a year, the mating takes place in March, and most cubs are born in May.
