About Iceland

Iceland is a refreshingly unconventional travel destination. The Icelandic nature is unspoilt, exotic and mystical with its spouting geysers, active volcanoes, tumbling waterfalls, towering mountains, vast lava plains and magical lakes. Iceland’s fjords, glaciers and highland plains present visitors with some of the most beautiful and enchanting places they will ever see, as well as a rare feeling of utter tranquillity.

For travelers on a quest for action, Iceland’s pristine nature offers great potential for outdoor activities such as snowmobiling, horse riding, cave exploring, hiking, swimming, skiing, river rafting, kayaking and mountain safaris on modified four-wheel drives, to name but a few. Iceland supports a surprisingly diverse Nordic flora and fauna and is an ideal place for ornithology enthusiasts, while also offering some of the world’s best whale watching destinations. 

Travel with nature, accept it's own rules.

Places of Interest

Tindur

TindurTindur rises imposingly from the Tindfjoll mountains to the southeast of the Tindfjallajokull glacier. There are magnificent views from the mountain. You can see the Thorsmork nature area, two glaciers on the south coast, and Mt. Hekla - Iceland's most frequently erupting and most famous volcano.

The Tindfjoll mountains are a paradise for back-country skiing. Icelandic mountaineers have long enjoyed the wealth of climbing and skiing opportunities that have been available in the area since the first mountain cabins were built in the 1940s under the guidance of Gudmundur from Middalur - the pioneer of mountaineering in Iceland.
