The Iceland Honeymoon — Iceland

When to go

June through August brings the midnight sun and open Highland roads, while September to March draws the aurora across long, dark skies. Your advisor times it to the light, the crowds and your own calendar.

The experiences

A sense of what this journey can hold — each one arranged privately and shaped to you:

  • A private soak in a secluded geothermal lagoon reserved for the two of you at dusk.
  • A helicopter flight over Vatnajokull glacier, landing on the ice for a quiet toast.
  • A candlelit tasting of Icelandic delicacies prepared by a private chef in your suite.
  • A guided evening drive along the Golden Circle to chase the first stars of the night.

A sense of the rhythm

Your days move gently, framed around long light and longer silences. Mornings begin with steam rising from the lagoons and afternoons unfold across the coast at your own pace. Evenings are yours alone, whether beneath the aurora or beside the fire.

How to do it well

The counsel our advisors give travelers planning this journey:

  • Reserve a private lagoon session at dusk, when the crowds thin and the light softens.
  • Allow a full day near Vatnajokull so weather never rushes your glacier moments.
  • Ask us to arrange a private chef in your suite for at least one evening.
  • Keep your schedule loose so a clear aurora night can reshape the plan.

What only your advisor can open

The difference between a good trip and an unrepeatable one is access — and access is a relationship, not a booking. Every guide, room and moment is chosen and sequenced for you.

Who it's for

Travelers who value privacy, time and doing it once — beautifully — and who would rather have one trusted advisor orchestrate every detail than assemble it themselves.

Estimated investment

From US$5,000 for two — scaled to your dates, party size and level of privacy. A starting point, not a final quote; confirmed once your advisor tailors the itinerary.

Designed entirely around you

Nothing here is a package. A Forest Travel advisor shapes the whole journey and stays one message away before and throughout your trip.

Your Virtuoso privileges

As a Virtuoso member, Forest Travel includes benefits reserved for Virtuoso guests at the finest luxury hotels, at no added cost: a room upgrade on arrival when available, daily breakfast for two, a property credit toward dining or spa, and early check-in with late check-out when the hotel allows.

Common Questions

Questions, answered.

A summer honeymoon gives you the midnight sun and endless golden evenings for exploring together. A winter journey trades daylight for the aurora and the intimacy of firelit nights. We shape either around the two of you.

It depends on the light you want to share. June through August brings the midnight sun, open Highland roads and endless golden evenings for exploring together. September to March draws the aurora across long, dark skies, trading daylight for the northern lights and the intimacy of firelit nights.
