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.

Itinerary

Make your dream come true and get acquainted with the Icelandic horse, followed by a trip to the Blue Lagoon.

It is a breed that has remained virtually unchanged since the Vikings brought it to Iceland in the 8th century. The Icelandic horse is small but sure-footed, docile, enduring and extremely strong. Due to its qualities and size, it is ideal for beginners, as well as for the more experienced. Enjoy a 1 to 2 hours riding tour on the outskirts of the capital and get to know the horse that has managed to serve the natives for centuries in the harsh landscape of Iceland.

After healthy exercise, take a relaxing bath in the Blue Lagoon, which has become well-known worldwide for its curing, healing and relaxation qualities. The Blue Lagoon was created by accident when condensed steam from the power station was released into the lava field to sink. Instead the unique mineral solution made the lava watertight and created the lagoon, with its white silica mud that gently cleanses and exfoliates the skin. Bathing there is one of the highlights of your visit to Iceland. Don’t miss it!
