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

What a great time you will have getting acquainted with the sure-footed, docile, enduring and good-natured Viking Horse. Enjoy a 1.5 hour riding tour on the outskirts of the capital before visiting Geysir and Gullfoss waterfall.

Make your dream come true and get acquainted with the Icelandic horse. 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.

Enjoy a 1.5 hour 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 the riding experience, enjoy a lunch break before heading to the national park, Þingvellir, with its unique geological features, natural beauty and historical importance. At Þingvellir, Alþingi (the Icelandic parliament) was founded in 930, which makes it the oldest known functioning parliament in the world. From there we visit the impressive waterfall Gullfoss and the geothermal area Geysir with its spouting hot springs. This tour takes us through fertile agricultural areas and we will stop for a photo stop at the implosion crater Kerið. We will also visit a greenhouse community, Hveragerði, where geothermal energy has been harnessed to grow fruits, vegetables and beautiful flowers in greenhouses. After a short drive, we will be back in the capital.
