ICELAND
Iceland is an adventure.
Iceland is a country of sharp contrasts. A place where fire and ice co-exist. Where dark winters are offset by the summer’s midnight sun.
Explore its natural wonders: glaciers, active volcanoes, black-sand beaches, geothermal areas, roaring rivers, majestic waterfalls, and beautiful lakes.
Discover a rich and vibrant culture. Stay in hip Reykjavík or relax in the beautiful therapeutic Blue Lagoon. Explore glaciers and waterfalls, bath in mud pools, see spurting geysers
For foodies, open your taste buds with fermented shark, whales, puffin, bird eggs and of course aquavit.
For active travels, go horseback riding, hike on glaciers, snowmobile, snorkeling and diving in pure waters, dog sledding, ice caving
Immerse yourself in amazing landscapes in the land of ice and fire.
