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 exciting golf package gives you the opportunity to experience some of the best golf courses in Iceland as well as many of the country’s biggest attractions. The tour includes sites such as Þingvellir National Park, the great Geysir area, Skaftafell National Park, Jökulsárlón Glacial Lagoon, Ásbyrgi Canyon and more. The tour includes accommodation in Reykjavík, Hella, Kirkjubæjarklaustur, Höfn, Egilsstaðir, Lake Mývatn and Akureyri.

Stay overnight in Reykjavík.
Day 2: Reykjavik - Keilir golf Course
The Keilir golf course, only ten minutes drive from Reykjavik, is right on the ocean and is one of Iceland´s most spectacular and unique golf courses. What makes this course unique is that it is built into a lava field as well as on an old ocean links area. The course offers an 18-hole championship course (par 71) and a 9-hole “practice” course. A beautiful new clubhouse was built in 1993 overlooking the courses with a view over the Atlantic Ocean, all the way across the bay to the Snaefellsjökull Glacier on a clear day.
