Depends on your style. Guided tours are stress-free and include expert interpretation — ideal for northern lights, glacier hikes and first-time visitors. Renting a car (CAD $90–$130/day) gives maximum flexibility for the Golden Circle and South Coast. For winter driving: guided tours are strongly recommended — Iceland's rural roads can be dangerous in snow and ice.

September–October: best value for Canadians — northern lights start, 20–30% lower prices than summer, decent daylight. November–February: best northern lights (4–6h daylight), lowest prices, but limited activities. June–August: midnight sun, all highland roads open, hiking season — peak prices and crowds. March: northern lights + first spring daylight, good balance.
