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.

Activity Group

The name is almost an understatement.

The Activity Group is Iceland’s single largest tour and activity provider, offering the widest variety of activity tours available in Iceland. The expertise of The Activity Group’s professional, skilled staff is the company’s most valuable asset and what sets it apart from other tour providers. Although The Activity Group works in close cooperation with other tour providers (and with major travel agencies) to coordinate the most comprehensive tour solutions for its customers, The Activity Group offers a singular, unparalleled activity experience.

The Activity Group is well respected for being a leader in the field of adventure and activity tours. For CEO Halldór Kristjánsson and his team, using “activity” in the company name is something taken seriously; “The Activity Group” name is almost an understatement. The group offers action-filled journeys to suit any type of craving for adventure, from intensive river rafting excursions to taking in the breathtaking scenery of ice fields and glaciers while driving snowmobiles. Operating tours ranging from dog sledding to horseback riding, from river rafting to super jeep tours, The Activity Group offers something exceptional for every season of the year.

Offering a varied array of tours in Iceland throughout the year, The Activity Group specializes in putting tourists into the closest possible contact with Iceland’s unique, pristine nature while using the latest tools and technological innovations to do so. The company is a pioneer not just in creating quality, high-end activity tours but also in the implementation of technology to create a safer, more flexible, and more comprehensive adventure experience (for example, improvements in communications and transportation options open possibilities for visiting places that were previously unreachable). The Activity Group prides itself on seeking out sophisticated tools to create even better, more exciting tour experiences, always leading the way in terms of exhilarating tour packages but also in taking safety measures/precautions and in preserving the environmental integrity of tour locations.

Beyond just activity tours, The Activity Group also offers unique services in two rapidly growing fields. One: location management services for individuals seeking a location for filming, advertising, or other kinds of production; as with all of The Activity Group’s endeavors, the approach to location management is comprehensive. The group scouts the ideal location, assists with any production work required, and even facilitates helping foreign companies to take advantage of Icelandic tax incentives available to foreign companies for selecting Iceland as a location. Two: The Activity Group also offers packages for incentive groups, for which The Activity Group plans and oversees every aspect of the group activity from inception to completion. The Activity Group can arrange any number of programs for interested parties, including but not limited to thematic programs (e.g. a Viking theme, sea angling, etc.), snow games, and teambuilding.

The Activity Group’s dedicated staff takes pains to ensure that program materials and activities are relevant, responsive and that nothing The Activity Group offers can ever be construed as passive. It would be antithetical to the core foundation of The Activity Group.
