Options are same as in July except the length of a daylight - 4 hours instead of 20 hours. And chances of snow storms x10 times :-)

And the bus timetables are dry thin. StArt studying them and see if you can go where you want in the timeframe you have.

Weather shouldn't be too bad, might encounter a little snow but other then that you should be fine.

Hey Idan, I'll be travelling alone in Iceland from 14-30 November, and I'm looking for people to meet and possibly travel with. Message me if you're interested.

The weather is not a problem in November ... tourists in Iceland every day of the year ... you can easily choose between self drive tour or just scheduled tours, day-tours, 2 day tours, 3 day tours, etc.
Here are some of the scheduled winter tours for the winter in Iceland:

and many companies are offering self drive tours ...

Hello all,

thanks for the info you have put up regarding this topic so far. I am traveling to Iceland in February or March for three nights and staying in Reykjavik. I wanted to go see the blue lagoon (Deildartunguhver) and the waterfalls of Barnafoss and Hraunfossar. I have never been to Iceland and would like some feedback regarding activities during winter as well as methods of transportation. Is it safe for tourists to drive there in the snow? Do they have taxis? How much do they charge for far away trips? Anything would help!

Thank you,

Dearta
