All inclusive holidays to Iceland in October bundle your flights, accommodation and an agreed level of meals and drinks into one price, so the main budget decision is made before you leave home. October sits at the summer-to-winter transition, so availability is often sensible and shoulder-season pricing reflects that, which many travellers appreciate.

Iceland is a North Atlantic island nation famed for volcanic and glacial landscapes, geysers, waterfalls, black sand beaches and lava fields. An all inclusive package here differs from a sun-and-sea resort holiday, as the country rewards travellers who move between regions. Our packages follow that rhythm, letting you plan days around glacier walks, coastal drives and quiet hot springs without juggling bookings, so every stop feels considered.

Booking an October package with us means we check the components that matter most in this season: transfer times between your base and the sights, the room type and the meal arrangements. We also look at how flights and accommodation fit together so the schedule works in practice rather than only on paper. Our role is to make the trip straightforward to plan and easy to understand before you pay, so there are no surprises about what is included.

Your Guide to All Inclusive Holidays to Iceland in October

In Iceland the resort-style choice is really about picking a base town with the right facilities and access for a quieter autumn stay.

Akureyri: Akureyri is the largest town in North Iceland, set on a long fjord and surrounded by mountains. Our October packages here suit travellers who want a calmer base with a botanical garden, cafes and whale watching trips available from the harbour. The trade-off is that it is a longer journey from the capital, so we recommend it for a stay of several nights rather than a short break. For a relaxed autumn base with plenty of local character, it is a strong choice. Iceland Family Holidays suits guests travelling with children who want a gentler pace.
Stykkisholmur: Stykkisholmur is a small harbour town on the western peninsula, and its harbour serves as the base for boat trips into the sheltered bay beyond. In October the town is quiet and the pace is slow, which suits guests who want an unhurried all inclusive stay rather than a busy schedule of sights, the same brief our Iceland holidays deals are built around. Accommodation options are more limited than in the capital, so we check room availability carefully before confirming a package. It is an excellent choice for a peaceful stay with scenic coastline on the doorstep.
Hofn: Hofn is a fishing town in southeast Iceland and the practical base for visiting glacier lagoons and the dramatic headlands nearby. Its distance from the capital means the journey is longer, so we build October packages around a single base to keep transfers manageable. Autumn weather here can be windy and changeable, which is why we advise packing layered, waterproof clothing. It is well suited to travellers who enjoy big landscapes and are happy to stay put in one place.
Husavik: Husavik is a small harbour town in the north and one of the country's main hubs for whale watching tours, which run from its quayside. In October the tours still operate, although the weather can be cold and the sea rougher, so timing matters. Our packages here focus on a short, clear itinerary so guests are not spending long hours in transit. It is ideal for a whale-watching focus within an all inclusive trip.
Blue Lagoon: The Blue Lagoon is a geothermal spa set in lava fields close to the international airport, which makes it a convenient first or last stop for many visitors. Bookings are generally recommended in advance, particularly in autumn, so we include timed entry in the planning where it applies. The lagoon is warm and suits a relaxed evening, though crowds can be considerable at peak times. It is a sensible stop to build into the start or end of an October stay. Iceland Luxury Holidays fits guests seeking a spa-led finish to their trip.

Iceland is itself an island, so the island-focused choices here are ferry-linked towns and offshore coastal routes rather than separate resorts.

Vestmannaeyjar: Islands in October offer a quieter, more authentic side of Corfu, and few places capture that better than Benitses. This lively yet laid-back fishing village on the island's east coast keeps its waterfront tavernas buzzing into the autumn, while warm sea temperatures invite one last swim. Visitors can wander the harbour at leisure, join a local boat trip to nearby coves, and enjoy fresh seafood as the evening light softens over the Ionian. With fewer crowds and mild, sunny days, October is an ideal time to explore Benitses at your own pace. It is exactly the brief our Iceland Beach Holidays deals are built around.
Flatey: Flatey is a small island in the western bay reached by boat, and it is known for its quiet, low-key atmosphere. Access depends on seasonal boat services, so we advise checking timings before choosing this as a stop. In October the island is calm and few visitors remain, which makes it a restful choice for a day trip. It suits guests who want a truly removed experience within an otherwise accessible itinerary.
Videy: Videy is a small island just off the capital, reached by a short ferry crossing, and it offers open grassland and a quiet walk away from the city. It is one of the easiest island excursions to add to an October package because the journey is brief. The trade-off is that services can be limited outside the main season, so we confirm schedules in advance. It is a practical option for a gentle half-day out.
Engey: Engey is a small island in the bay near the capital with fishing heritage and a sheltered coastline. It is reached by boat and is less visited than the larger islands, which gives it a secluded feel in autumn. Services are infrequent, so we treat it as an optional extra rather than a fixed part of the itinerary. It appeals to travellers who like coastal scenery and quiet walks.
Breidafjordur islands: The islands of the western bay are scattered across a wide sheltered expanse reached from the small harbour town on the peninsula, and boat trips through them are a popular way to see birdlife and coastline. October trips run with reduced frequency, so we plan these with flexibility built in. The bay is calm compared with open ocean, which helps on shorter boat trips. It is a strong choice for guests who want water-based scenery within a compact itinerary.
