September is one of my FAVORITE months in Iceland! September is one of my FAVORITE months in Iceland! 💃 So if you’re visiting this month, you’re in for a serious treat. There are SO many incredible things to take advantage of during September in Iceland, but these 4 are some of my top picks. From Aurora hunting to exploring the Highlands before the F-Roads shut down, SWIPE 👉🏼 for my go-to September activities. Another bonus? Mid-to-late September is considered “shoulder season” meaning you get the best of both worlds… The weather is still pretty nice - but there’s fewer crowds than high-season months like July and August.
