Hey! I will be travelling solo for November 1st-7th. M38, travelling from Poland. I speak English, and am only starting to learn Icelandic basics. Is anyone 20+ travelling or free to meet a stranger during any overlapping days? :)

I am renting a car for sure, and for now i have a studio booked in Reykjavik. The car cost is on me.

Open up to any combination: do you want to join for the entire trip? just some days? anything sounds cool. I don't have a good itinerary yet. Would like to see the must sees like the golden circle, hot springs, go to Northwest end of Iceland as well (I can go alone if you're not up for this). Meetups for chats or a walk together are welcome too, not talking to any humans the entire week may feel weird.

I'd like to just chat beforehand, the more we vibe, the better, right?

Eddit: added and bolded post's intent.

Hi, I'm Simone, I'm from Italy and I'm 22 years old. I will be in Iceland from March 14 to 29, 2026, I will rent a campervan and do the entire Ring Road tour.

It's my first solo trip, but if anyone wants to join me they're more than welcome!

Hey everyone! :)

31M, Switzerland, English.

I will be in Iceland (for the third time this year!) from December 14 until the end of the year. Although I have already seen much of the country, there are still so many things to explore, this time at a comfortable pace.

Planning to do Reykjavik (Christmas markets), Golden Circle, South and South-East all the way to Höfn in an SUV with several detours, hiking, photography.

Please reach out if you would like to hang out, get some drinks, visit places (food, museums) or go hiking together! Or if you would like to partner up for several legs of the trip (e.g. driving together / driving together in several cars, or you'd like me to drop you off somewhere)!

P.S. I do photography, so good portrait shots are guaranteed! :)

I’m sorry if this isn’t the right Megathread, but I’m planning for a trip in May, anyone else going solo in May too?

Hi
I'm travelling solo in a campervan, October 19th to 25th. It's my first solo trip, but if anyone wants to join me they're more than welcome! Feel free to DM!

Hi I am (27M) Indian Canadian and travelling solo to Reykjavik (Oct 15- Oct 16) looking for people to have a drink and explore the city with.

I’m (32/F from US) currently traveling solo in Reykjavik through Oct 23. Wouldn’t mind grabbing dinner or drinks with any other travelers! Only speak English unfortunately :/

Hey everyone, I’m Lina, 32F, half Ukrainian, half Armenian, born and raised in moscow, and currently based in Warsaw, Poland.

I'll be travelling solo from December 11th to 15th and I’m hoping to find someone to share a rental car and explore some of Iceland’s most beautiful spots together.

I visited Iceland this summer and had an amazing time. Last time, I found some wonderful travel companions (incl. through reddit), so I’m hoping to get lucky again this trip. If your dates overlap or you’re planning a short winter trip, please let me know if you’re interested

Hey everyone! 👋

I’ll be in Iceland for a layover on October 30 — flying in from Chicago, landing at Keflavík around 6:45 a.m. and flying out at 4:30 p.m.

I’m planning to visit the Blue Lagoon during that time. The transfer buses are a bit pricey and the schedule doesn’t line up great, so I’m thinking of renting a car for the day instead.

If anyone else will be around that morning and wants to share a ride to the Blue Lagoon, let me know! Totally fine if you just want a lift, but if you’d like to chip in for gas (donation-based) that’d be awesome.

Cheers, Leo

Nothing like a last minute post - I will be in Iceland this weekend, Sat Oct 25 and Sun Oct 26. I'll have a car and will definitely be hitting up Brúarfoss but as I've been to Iceland before, not going to be visiting the "greatest hits" so to speak.

I'm 47F, English speaker with some French, traveling from the US/Baltimore for a short weekend in Reykjavik. Looking for dining partners or if you want to hit up Brúarfoss, wander Reykjavik, or whatever else I come up with on the plane trip tonight, lol.

Hello! I’m (31M from USA) currently on my way and will be staying in Reykjavik Oct. 28 - Nov. 2. I’ll have a car and a pretty open itinerary if anybody would like to meet for a drink, tag along for a photography drive, or just explore Reykjavik. Only English unfortunately but would love to pick up some Icelandic! Cheers!

Hey all, myself (43m) and my girlfriend (39f) are coming from Amsterdam to Reykjavik for New Year’s Eve. We would love to meet some locals and perhaps get invited to a party. We would bring good vibes and are happy to splash some cash on bringing drinks and little gifts from the Netherlands if anyone has an invite to something fun they would like to extend to us. We speak English and Dutch. Best wishes! 

Hi I am travelling to Iceland this weekend, nov 16 to nov 21, can i see any valcano like Sundhnukur or Fagradalsfjall Volcano, is the lave/flames visible now?

Thanks

Hello! Regular queer traveler to Iceland, heading over solo and happy to meet with fellow travelers and natives alike!

⁠When you will be in Iceland: Nov 21-27 A rough itinerary: Staying in Reykjavik this time but open to day trips! Your gender and approximate age: He/they and 40 What country you are from: USA (NYC) What languages you speak: English

Hello! F / 33 / English, coming from Chicago Dec. 2 - 8 I have tours planned the 3, 4, & 5 - I rented a car for the rest of the trip for ease of travel & in case any of the tours are cancelled.

Would love to grab a bite, maybe check out a show, or just have company to explore! I'm used to solo traveling & usually go with a loose itinerary, but this is my first time doing it in a foreign country.

Hey! 25M, Ukrainian, traveling solo. Speak English / Ukrainian / Russian / German

I'm interested in doing ice cave tour + glacier hike in Jökulsárlón area (https://www.icecavetrips.is/icecavetoursiceland) on Nov 29, but it says "2 person minimum" for the booking. This activity was recommended earlier on this subreddit by another poster.

Anyone around on those dates and interested in joining? :)

Hey everyone!! Anyone from Vancouver going to Iceland? Was wondering if you could grab a few things for me! Was looking for a cool Iceland Patch (one from each of the national parks would be a bonus). And a Starbucks mug for my girlfriend! We weren’t able to grab the mug when we were there. Don’t worry we supported the locals all the way.

Hi, I’m from Malaysia, female, 33. I will be travelling solo to Iceland from 14-21 Feb 2026. This will be my first ever solo trip so would love to meet new friends, exchange solo trip experiences, tips on where to visit in Iceland and learn about different cultures!

I’ll be based in Reykjavik and since I will not be driving, I plan to take day tours to explore south Iceland and other attractions. I speak English, Mandarin, Cantonese and Malay. Let’s chat!

Solo travel to Iceland early Dec

Hey!

I'm going to be, for a relatively short layover, in Iceland. Mainly Keflavik/Reykjavik area, 6-9 Dec.

This is the n-th time I'm visiting so I'm not really looking for tours and whatnot, much rather some socializing and/or local activities.

If you are also around between the aforementioned period and down for some great food, drinks or you'd have a proposal, let me know! ^{^}

I saw a thread related to flea markets which sounds fun, planning to go to the Sky Lagoon perhaps.

Cheers!

I (m,USA, 23) and my friend (m, Oman, 23) are in Iceland December 6th-10th 2025. If anyone wants to meetup or join, reach out to us! We don't really know what we will be doing other than renting a car, sorry I don't have more details

Due to a recent change in plans, I am now going to be coming to Iceland solo during Dec 23-28. Wouldn’t mind having some low-key company, especially for Christmas Eve/Day, but probably not for the whole trip. Join for lunch/dinner, outdoor exploring (weather permitting), maybe a trip to Costco, Kringlan and Smaralind, that kind of deal. Not big on drinking or partying and probably not going to any museums, apart maybe from the outdoor one, again, if the weather plays nice. Will rent a car at some point, but probably not right away (you don’t have to share cost), or happy to pay for fuel if you’ve got one already.

Me: male, early 40s, pretty active, from the States. Speak English and Russian fluently, can get away with some basic Spanish. Right now I’m thinking of splitting time between Reykjavik and the Selfoss area (3+2 days, in that order). No real itinerary, except I would like to make it to Friðheimar at some point (maybe Christmas Day since they’re open) and on the 23rd I’d like to go to the Hafnarfjörður Christmas Market.

Hi! I'm solo travelling from Portugal, will be there between the 3rd and the 16th, happy to join and meet people for activities together.

Hi! My name is Niles from the UK, I’m travelling to Iceland next week (8th - 13th) and I wanted to ask if there’s anyone here who is doing the same and wanted to travel together, splitting costs to make it cheaper.

We’d like to go to the diamond beach but it’s so far and unfortunately won’t be renting a car but if you are I will pay a fair share!

My DMs are open and happy to talk about everything

Thank you! ☺️

hi! i’m a 25th (F) gonna be solo traveling dec 11th to 13th and from the US. I have tours booked on the 12th and 13th all day but wanted to see if anyone is willing to do anything dec 11th. I have a loose schedule of just seeing a few things in town but pretty flexible that day and not renting a car. if anyone’s interested in meeting up, send me a DM!

Hello everyone. I am a 34M Canadian looking to travel to Iceland next year. My dates are flexible and I'd love to have a travel buddy. I have traveled solo in the past but the company is always nice. Little background, I am a cheerful, relaxed, funny dude. I am sober, big foodie, & love listening to heavy metal music. I am looking to rent a camper van, and stay for roughly 10 days. Flexible with destinations, and sights, mostly looking at road tripping to see some sights on main safer roads, stay at campsites. Anyone interested in chatting and discussing ideas I'd be open to prior to planning it entirely solo. All the best!

Hey! 34, M, USA. Going to be solo in Reykjavik for 4 days at a hotel February 26- March 1. A day trip companion would be fun! Planning to go to blue lagoon for a while and enjoy the touristy thing. Thinking about a golden circle tour. A day in Reykjavik, and potentially some kind of other tour like silfra snorkeling. I don’t plan to rent a car and will just utilize a day tour for sites.

Hi! My name is Kristian.

I’ve been to Iceland twice before and love it. I’ve explored the north west a bit and south all the way down to Vík. I’m looking to potentially travel the ring road in May, maybe on a 10-day excursion. I’m looking for maybe one other travel partener who’s looking to split the costs and split sleeping on the road and maybe at a couple hostels… please let me know your ring road experiences below, or message me if you’d be interested in maybe traveling it with me. Ideally looking for one other companion who would want to cheaply want to experience all of Iceland in maybe May-ish time. 😃

Hi. I am 36, male. Living in Spain. Planning to visit Iceland in March. Dates are flexible. Duration is 7 days.

I am planning to go with the standard itinerary and want to see the northern lights.

I am willing to join anyone who has a camper van or an SUV. Budget is flexible.

I can share the costs and help with the planning. I do not have experience of driving in this kind of places, so I can't help with driving.

I speak English fluently and a bit of Spanish. I don't smoke or drink.

Hi F31 and F27 looking to travel to Iceland between 7th and 12th February. Anyone looking to that time period? I don't drive and my friend is afraid to drive with the ice because she's not used to it. 

Hey all! I'm a 29-year-old male from the USA. I speak English and will be traveling to Iceland from April 20th-25th. I'll be staying at the City Hub in Reykjavik and will be doing day tours. I haven't booked the tours just yet, but looking at Artic Adventures Golden Circle & Caving tour and South Coast, Jokulsarlon & Diamond Beach Day Tour, along with some others.

This is my first solo trip and my first trip to Iceland. It would be cool to do some of these tours with someone or just hang out in Reykjavik during down time. Reach out if you're interested!

31F, USA. Solo. Travel dates March 26-April 9.Will be landing in the early morning (6:30a) of March 26th. April 9th have to be at the airport by 2p.

I already have my entire itinerary done for the ring road, tours included. I'm open to seeing if anyone around my age (+/- 5ish years) would want to join, I'm okay with male or female, might have a bigger preference for female though, but don't let it discourage you. Happy to email/DM the itinerary. I'm paying for the car on pickup, and I have all of my accommodations/tours booked. Some are just a single bed, so those accommodations you'd have to book your own, some I believe have a queen bed/2 singles, or can be requested for 2 singles possibly. I have PayPal so if we share something I've booked already, you can just send me money through there for half of it.

To note, I have mild autism. So I'm pretty awkward at first/don't always talk much. I'm comfortable with silence. So as long as you're comfortable with silence too, we should be good. Once I get to know someone better though, I do open up. We could talk a lot in messages too, but when we meet in person, I'm back to being quiet.

I'm sober and don't smoke (can't stand the smell). Solo traveled a few countries already.

Please feel free to reply here or send me a DM referencing my comment on this post!
