These northern escapes blend stillness with adventure, inviting you to wander frozen valleys, glide across vast glaciers, and soak in steaming geothermal pools while frost clings to the air.
In Iceland, watch green and violet auroras sweep across black‑sand plains. In Canada, breathe in the crisp air of British Columbia’s alpine trails and feel the crunch of fresh snow underfoot.

Why Visit Iceland & Canada in Winter?
Winter flips the switch on Iceland and Canada, turning them into pure magic. You'll see Northern Lights rippling over snowy mountains, frozen waterfalls sparkling under the moon, and the kind of crisp air that makes everything feel sharper, brighter. Away from city lights, both countries serve up prime Aurora Borealis viewing. Just you, the night sky, and a light show you’ll never forget.
The landscapes are no less spectacular. In Iceland, step inside ice caves lit in unreal shades of blue, hike past snow‑capped volcanoes, and watch rivers freeze into glassy stillness. In Canada, glide across frozen lakes, wander the wilds of the Yukon, or take in the vast white sweep of the Rockies. Everywhere you turn, winter redraws the map in snow and ice.
Adventure thrives here in the cold. In Iceland, snowmobiles roar over glaciers; in Canada, huskies pull sleds through silent forests and skiers carve fresh tracks down world‑class slopes. Winter strips away the crowds, so you get more space — and more silence — to enjoy it all.
And when the day’s done, warmth takes over. Sink into Iceland’s steaming hot springs or curl up in a fire‑lit Canadian cabin. Swap stories, sip something warm, and let the chill outside make the comfort inside even sweeter. Winter in Iceland and Canada is a whole other way to travel.
Top Winter Activities
Ice Caving
As one of the most popular winter tour packages, ice cave expeditions take you deep into the core of a glacier. Formed naturally each winter by meltwater carving tunnels through the ice, these caves glow in surreal shades of blue. Every twist reveals walls, arches, and textures unlike anything above ground. It’s a photographer’s heaven— the cave itself is both the star of the shot and the perfect backdrop.
Northern Lights
The Aurora Borealis dances above both countries during the long, dark winters. Iceland’s Northern Lights tours take travelers far from city lights to remote areas like Thingvellir National Park, with striking views across the sky. In Canada, particularly in the Yukon, Aurora viewing is elevated with heated observation domes, cultural storytelling, and expert-led photography sessions for a deeper, more immersive experience.
Dog Sledding
Dog sledding in Canada is a thrilling and culturally rich experience that presents a unique way to explore the country's vast and snowy wilderness. Rooted in Indigenous traditions and early exploration, it remains a symbol of northern life. Today, visitors can ride behind a team of canines through forests and frozen lakes! Experience a deep connection to nature, history, and the unique bond between humans and dogs in this iconic Canada winter vacation.
Snowmobiling
Snowmobiling is a powerful and dynamic way to explore vast winter terrains. Tours in Iceland take place on glaciers like Langjökull or Mýrdalsjökull, with dramatic icecap views and thrilling speed over frozen ground. Canada, with thousands of kilometers of groomed trails, caters to both casual riders and serious snowmobilers. From Quebec’s vast network to British Columbia’s alpine zones, snowmobiling is a winter staple across the country.

Hot Springs & Spa Tours
After a day of adventure, there's no better way to unwind than in natural hot springs. Iceland is famous for geothermal spots like the Blue Lagoon, Secret Lagoon, and lesser-known wilderness pools—all with warm, mineral-rich waters surrounded by snow-covered volcanic landscapes. Ideal for unwinding after adventure-filled days, Iceland’s hot springs provide a soothing escape and a memorable way to experience the country’s geothermal energy heritage.
Skiing
Canada’s ski scene stretches from the jagged peaks of the Rockies and British Columbia to the quieter, snow‑covered hills of Quebec’s Laurentians. The mix of big‑mountain terrain, steady snowfall, and well‑kept runs means there’s something for both seasoned skiers and those just here for a relaxed glide. Add in the sweeping alpine views, and it’s no wonder people keep coming back year after year.

When to Book Winter Tours
The best time for winter trips differs for each country. In Iceland, winter runs from November to March — prime time for snow vacations, frozen waterfalls, and Northern Lights blazing across long nights. It’s also the season for glacier hikes, natural ice‑cave tours, and hot‑spring soaks with steam rising into the cold air. Book early to snag spots on the most in‑demand adventures before they fill.
In Canada, December to March delivers powder‑perfect skiing, snowboarding, and dog‑sledding, plus a great shot at catching the Aurora in places like British Columbia and the Yukon. Resorts and tours sell out fast during peak weeks, so locking in your plans early means better prices, more choice, and no missing out on your perfect winter trip.
