UNVEIL THE  LAND OF FIRE & ICE

Iceland was settled by Viking explorers in the ninth century, and by 930 the Althing, the world’s oldest parliament, had been established. The island sits on the meeting point of the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates (in red in our map), a rift that fuels more than 30 active volcanic systems, vast glaciers, and geysers that burst from black lava fields.

 

With fewer than 400,000 inhabitants, Iceland is a country where nature still sets the rhythm, yet its cultural voice carries worldwide — from the medieval sagas to modern icons like Björk and Sigur Rós.

Iceland is both a frontier and a sanctuary, where history, creativity, and raw geology converge to create experiences found nowhere else.

WHAT MAKES ICELAND SPECIAL

OUR FAVORITE EXPERIENCES

GOOD TO KNOW FIRST HAND

The raw beauty and weather unpredictability of Iceland redefine the travel experience.

 

For advisors, it’s a destination that requires thoughtful planning, deep local knowledge, and the right expectations set upfront.

Weather dictates the trip

Weather conditions in Iceland are highly unstable and can change rapidly. Strong winds, heavy snow, storms, or road closures may result in last-minute adjustments to the itinerary, including delays, changes of route, replacement of activities, or cancellations. Such modifications are common and must be considered an integral part of travel in Iceland.

We explore the south of Iceland

Our journeys unfold in the south of Iceland, where the country offers its best balance of accessibility, refined hotels, and year-round experiences. This region combines reliable roads with the highest service standards, making it the natural stage for extraordinary travel.

Private Journey, Expertly Guided

Each itinerary is accompanied by a private guide and driver for continuity and care throughout the trip. Activities are carried out in small semi-private groups of 10 to 15 participants, led by specialized experts in each field, whether on glaciers, lava caves, or at sea. We do not arrange self-drive itineraries in Iceland, as safety and seamless execution depend on professional guiding.

quotes specifications

Hotel rates and service costs in Iceland shift constantly with demand and weather. To ensure flexibility in re-sequencing and replacing arrangements, we quote one total package price without a breakdown. This protects the integrity of the itinerary, allows us to manage last-minute changes directly with suppliers, and avoids confusion caused by fluid local pricing. A last FYI, the Hotel The Retreat, in the Blue Lagoon, requires a minimum stay of 02 nights!

age & phisical condition requirements

Travelers should be able to walk at a moderate pace and manage steps independently. Accessibility at natural sites is limited, and wheelchair access cannot be guaranteed. Most outdoor activities have minimum age requirements, generally starting at 8 years old. Sharing the ages and height of the children, as well as the physical conditions of all participants in advance allows us to tailor the journey for safety and comfort.
