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.

This package includes flight from Reykjavik to Akureyri, the "capital of the north", and back. Once in Akureyri, you are taken on a guided bus tour of the magical Lake Mývatn and surroundings.
A day of spectacular sights await us as we set out from Akureyri to the twin waterfall Goðafoss, named for the pagan idols thrown into it a thousand years ago. Europe’s largest bird sanctuary is next – Lake Mývatn – where species breed among the mystical blend of lush vegetation and lava spires. After noon refreshments, we head to the colorful majesty of the still-active Krafla volcano, and from there to sizzling Hverarönd, famous for its bubbling sulphur mud pots. A walking tour of Dimmuborgir (dark castles) is next, a surreal lava park with harsh rock formations towering above the delicate flowers dotting the ground below. After a brief stop in the village Reykjahlíð, we’ll return to Akureyri to catch the evening flight back to the capital.
