On a (Semi) Budget

How Much Does a Trip to Iceland Cost?

If you’re like me, traveling to Iceland feels somewhat unattainable. It’s capital, Reykjavik, is lesser known than, say, Paris, London, or Munich, as Europe goes. And…“everyone” says it’s an expensive country. But, has “everyone” visited Iceland on a (semi) budget?

Well, generally speaking, it is expensive. But, if you asked me, “How much does a trip to Iceland cost?” my response would be, “about $4,100.00 USD for a family of four (2 adults & 2 children).” You could spend more than that for a week at Disney World! I’ll show you our exact cost of 7 days in Iceland on a (semi) budget.

Best Time of Year to Visit

What is the cheapest time to go to Iceland? As with many other places in the world, there is peak season and low season, or off season, or shoulder season. (In other words, avoid high season.)

Iceland on a Budget

Is Iceland a good place for a family vacation? YES! Many things in Iceland are FREE (or offer heavily reduced pricing for children). We were able to take advantage of this in many ways, which you will see in detail below.

Flights / Airfares to Iceland Total Airfare to Iceland (round trip, including bag fees) = $1,572.68 USD Flights to Iceland have become more mainstream and plentiful in recent years. With the introduction of budget airlines, fares have been reduced, too.

It really is possible to see the Northern Lights while in Iceland. We caught the Northern Lights in early October. Look for apps that will help you determine when there will be strong solar activity.
