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.

Active Adventure

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.


Breathtaking Landscapes

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).

Feast on gourmet lunches in secluded locations, with nature on full display. The magic of Iceland’s wild beauty will leave you with memories that will last a lifetime.
