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.

Would you like to have an incredible experience? Would you like to travel around the country in a super jeep or a super truck and experience breathtaking views and a magnificent landscape?

The company offers variable activities like horse riding tours, river rafting, whale watching and the famous jeep excursions where you will explore the wilderness with experienced guides and top equipments.

The winter Jeep excursion introduces the specially designed and equipped Icelandic Super Jeep which takes the travellers to some of the most magnificent places in Iceland, like Úlfarsfell, Hengill, Nesjavellir, Grímsnes and Hveragerdi. The bestseller, South Coast Glacier Safari is the most amazing adventure you will experience, where you will explore the beautiful waterfall Seljalandsfoss, cross glacier rivers on the way to Þórsmörk and from there head up to the glacier Mýrdalsjökull.
