Why Visit Iceland?

Landscape

Landscape and scenery with volcanoes, glaciers, fjords and hot springs that will take your breath away and remain etched on your memory for ever.

 

 

 

Natural phenomena

Visit in the summer and you’ll have 24 hours of daylight. Or experience the wonder of the Northern Lights – best seen between September and April.

 

 

Adventure

This is a country to explore, be it by road, bike, on foot or horseback. Go deep into ice caves, head across ancient lava flows, or even scuba between tectonic plates.

 

 

Culture

Rich in Nordic folklore, with mystic tales of trolls and elves, and ancient traditions, this island nation also punches its weight in contemporary arts and music. There’s a constant stream of festivals and events in Reykjavik and around the island.

 

 

Happiness

Iceland is consistently rated as one of the safest and happiest countries in the world. Something that’s always evident in the warm Icelandic welcome.

 

 

Flora & fauna

Firmly on the migratory route, there’s hardly a better place to watch birdlife, and out in the Atlantic, Orca, Minke, Humpback and Blue Whales are regular visitors.

 

 

Food

Evolved from, and inspired by its surroundings, Icelandic cuisine is elegant and simple. The food scene is experiencing a renaissance and naturally, the seafood dishes here could not be fresher.
