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

Visit many of Iceland’s biggest attractions on the classic “Golden Circle” route and go snowmobiling on Europe’s second-largest glacier, Langjökull, on this fantastic 4X4 super-jeep tour. You will be picked up from your hotel and taken to Þingvellir national park, where the Icelandic parliament, the Alþingi, was established in 930, making it the world’s oldest functioning legislative body. Þingvellir is also where the North Atlantic Rift, which separates the North American and European continents, is very prominent. The rift offers a bridge between the two and a veritable no-man’s-land inside the Almannagjá ravine, with the North American continent on one side and the European continent on the other.

From Þingvellir you will be taken to the geothermal area of Haukadalur to witness the Great Geysir—the original “Geyser” hot spring—or its ever-reliable counterpart, Strokkur, erupt; Strokkur erupts roughly every 8 minutes, so an eruption is guaranteed. There will be plenty of time to explore the bubbling mud pots, geysers and other geological phenomena around the Great Geysir and after lunch, you will be taken to the stunning two-tiered Gullfoss waterfall. The great white glacial cascade drops 32 metres into a 70-metre deep canyon; Gullfoss is generally considered one of the most beautiful waterfalls on the island and has been called “Iceland’s star attraction” by many. From Gullfoss, the super-jeep will take you through the interior to Langjökull, Europe’s second-largest glacier, where you will be taken on a thrilling 1-hour snowmobile ride before heading back to Reykjavik via the Hveragerði “greenhouse community”. The town has a number of geothermally heated greenhouses, and you can see how Icelanders grow their fruit and vegetables, making them self-sufficient in the growth of bananas, among other things.
