Carbon Neutral Trip
Replete with lava fields, glacier-cut valleys and geysers that remind you who’s really in charge, Iceland feels like creation hit pause and left the landscape gloriously unfinished. Hike beneath midnight sun or chase the northern lights, soak in geothermal springs and keep an eye out for elves (locals take them seriously). Wild, raw and otherworldly—Iceland is a force of nature.
From hiking and horseback riding to kayaking, snorkelling or diving between two continental plates, Iceland offers a different way to explore nature every single day.
Marvel at breathtaking landscapes and geography you won't find anywhere else on the planet, like the Silfra Fissure where underwater visibility extends to over 100 meters (328 ft).
Our incredible local guides take you off the beaten path to show you the country’s hidden valleys and secret waterfalls, in places with exclusive access, where you’ll never spot a tour bus.
