Carbon Neutral Trip
Winter in Iceland? Think craggy glaciers, soaring volcanoes, and mythic elves—basically a fairytale, with better scenery. Trek across Stokksnes Peninsula’s icy wonders, wander through caves of sparkling blue ice, and unwind in the Blue Lagoon’s steamy embrace. Nights bring endless twilight and dancing northern lights—Mother Nature’s version of Netflix bingeing. (Spoiler alert: it’s highly addictive.)

No two trips are ever the same, but this will give you a taste of what your journey will be like.
Day 1
We’ll begin our adventure wandering through the capital, Reykjavik, on a walking tour, listening to stories of Icelandic folklore from a master storyteller. During this evening’s cocktails, we’ll be joined by a special guest who will speak about Iceland’s tumultuous economic history. Then, a fabulous welcome dinner awaits.

Day 2
A picturesque flight whisks us to the coastal town of Hofn, where we’ll set off to explore the breathtaking Stokksnes Peninsula. After a delicious langoustine lobster lunch, our journey continues with a glacier trek, culminating in an ice cave. Spend time unwinding at the hotel before we gather in the dining room for dinner.

Day 3
Set out to experience the sights of the mighty Vatnajökull, Europe’s largest glacier. Equipped with crampons, ice axes and our local Icelandic guide, we’ll begin traversing the icy land.

Our journey follows the south coast, with views of Vatnajökull and Skaftafell National Park along the way.
