Spring - As the sun climbs higher and the grass turns the brightest shade of green, migrant birds return to Iceland, making spring the ideal season for bird watching. Around 200 bird species nest in Iceland, many of which can be seen in large numbers. Some of the bird species that you are likely to see include puffins, Arctic skuas, ptarmigans, Arctic terns, little auks and kittiwakes to name but a few.

Summer - Iceland enjoys surprisingly warm summers and benefits from 24 hour daylight, where the sky passes through hues of blue, grey and azure. The landscapes transform into a lush green, where small but sturdy flowers bloom in the lowlands. The plant life in Iceland is far richer than one might expect, due to the vast amounts of energy and heat within the soil. A great range of activities can be enjoyed during the summer months, including diving, snorkelling, glacier skiing, kayaking, skidoo trips, mountain biking and hiking. Visits to the highlands offer wonderful views, demonstrating the vastness and pureness of this stunning and diverse country.

Autumn - Brooks and rivers become swollen with melt water and the green vegetation transforms into varying shades of red, yellow and brown, providing wonderful photographic opportunities. Horses and sheep that have spent the summer months grazing are rounded up and brought to inhabited areas: these are always lively and social occasions which visitors are welcome to join in.

Winter - A time of amazing contrasts, where the white snow accentuates the black lava fields. The evening sky is often enchanted by flickering veils of green, white and red, as the Northern Lights (Aurora borealis) perform their dazzling and phenomenal light displays. This is also a great time of year for cross country skiing.
