See Iceland, an Island of Ice and Fire on Incredible Private Guided Tour
Visit Iceland, an ever growing popular destination for tourists to see on private guided tours. This is due to its dramatic landscape of volcanoes, hot springs, geysers, lava fields, glaciers and fjords.
From nature lovers to thrill seekers there is something different for everyone to enjoy in this wonderful country situated at the edge of the Arctic Circle.
Iceland is a country you can visit at any time of the year, in fact, you can have entirely different experiences during the main season and off season. The main season is from May to September and it is during this time when there are long day light hours with the sun only setting for 3 to 5 hours. Off season, on the other hand, has only around 5 hours of daylight.
Reykjavik is the capital city and the largest city in Iceland. Located in the south-west of the Country on the southern coast of Faxafloi Bay. Its name translated into English means ‘steamy bay’ and it received its name due to the geothermal steam witnessed by Ingolfur Arnarson, the first settler in Iceland. Read More...
Iceland sits on one of the most active volcanic areas in the world and these have devastated parts of the country in years past. In 1963, Surtsey, a new island emerged from the sea as a result of volcanic and other seismic activity.
The people of Iceland turned these geological wonders to their advantage. They use the geothermal energy to heat their buildings and homes while also using them to enhance their leisure time.
All of which results in wonderfully clean air and unspoilt rugged landscapes which are perfect for an unforgettable adventure.
There are amazing places and attractions to see, incredibly beautiful and unspoilt areas to explore and a lively nightlife to be enjoyed. None of which would be as exceptional without the welcoming and very friendly people of Iceland.
