About Iceland
Iceland is a refreshingly unconventional travel destination. The Icelandic nature is unspoilt, exotic and mystical with its spouting geysers, active volcanoes, tumbling waterfalls, towering mountains, vast lava plains and magical lakes. Iceland’s fjords, glaciers and highland plains present visitors with some of the most beautiful and enchanting places they will ever see, as well as a rare feeling of utter tranquillity.
For travelers on a quest for action, Iceland’s pristine nature offers great potential for outdoor activities such as snowmobiling, horse riding, cave exploring, hiking, swimming, skiing, river rafting, kayaking and mountain safaris on modified four-wheel drives, to name but a few. Iceland supports a surprisingly diverse Nordic flora and fauna and is an ideal place for ornithology enthusiasts, while also offering some of the world’s best whale watching destinations.
About Reykjavik
Reykjavík sometimes feels like a cosmopolitan capital and a tiny seaside village - all wrapped up in one. But Reykjavík has the best of both worlds; the qualities of a modern, forward-looking society complemented by a close connection to Iceland‚s beautiful and unspoilt nature.
Reykjavík’s legendary nightlife is bolstered by plentiful cultural and social happenings in addition to an abundance of first-class restaurants. The size of Reykjavik city centre is also limited enough to allow for easy navigation by foot. Reykjavík has been described as a young and daring city that is characterized by strong contrasts. Conveniently small, clean and safe, it is more or less free from the major problems that haunt many other capitals. Big city events are frequent, the winter lights festival finished recently with thousands of participants and more tourist at this time of the year than we are used to.

Located in Laugarás in Biskupstungur, one of the most amazing districts in Iceland, is the petting zoo Slakki, a large outdoor area, ideal for a special family trip. Slakki is only 100 km south from Reykjavík, and there you can enjoy the beautiful countryside among Icelandic farm animals like rabbits, puppies, kittens, turkeys, foxes, goats, geese, ducks, and chickens.
The petting zoo has developed quite immensely during the years and is now a very popular tourist attraction. In addition to all the animals, which you can view up close, the owners have changed the old greenhouses in the environs into an indoor golf facility with a minigolf course on the one hand and a nice restaurant on the other. There they offer all kinds of refreshments and delicacies. A good meeting facility is also available and an elaborate amusement arcade for the children.
The petting zoo Slakki is an excellent entertainment where everyone is sure to enjoy a relaxing day, surrounded by the amazing natural beauty of the Southern part of Iceland.
