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.

The amazing beauty of the Southern part of Iceland is almost indescribable. In the middle of it is the small, peaceful town Hvolsvollur, with a swimming pool, Icelandic Saga Centre and a luxury hotel, Hotel Hvolsvollur, which offers high-class rooms, a Jacuzzi and a sauna.

At the hotel's restaurant you can get a luxury dinner for reasonable price where the cuisine is inspired by French and south- European cooking. The main focus is on fish and lamb and they only use the freshest ingredients. There is also a fine bar and a café where you can relax after an eventful day.

Hotel Hvolsvollur is an ideal location to start further excursions around the southern part of the country because it is surrounded with exceptionally impressive natural phenomena and famous tourist attractions, like the volcano Hekla, the Mýrdal glacier, and one of the most beautiful sites in Iceland, Þórsmörk, with its amazing mountains, glaciers and glacier rivers. Near the hotel is also an airport where it only takes 10 minutes to fly to the Westman islands. Near by you can also go horseback riding and salmon and trout fishing, walk in Landmannalaugar, and it is not far to go to the exquisite sites of Þingvellir, Gullfoss and Geysir.
