Holidays in Iceland
Land of fire and ice
A holiday in Iceland means you will be able to witness at close hand the powerful natural forces that created and formed this unique island. Glaciers and rivers are constantly altering this rough, volcanic landscape, and the coastline is also in a gradual, process of change. The Earth's inner forces and the islands vegetation combine in a constant dynamic relationship, as evidenced by moss forming in freshly cooled lava. For nature lovers, Iceland is a true paradise with countless fascinating attractions that are sure to make your holiday unforgettable.
A natural hot bath
A visit to Iceland would not be complete without a dip in one of the many naturally heated swimming pools which can be found all across the island, both indoors and out. You can also choose to visit one of the naturally heated rivers, grottos or lakes.
Iceland's famous horses
To ride an Icelandic horse is a unique experience. Even those with no experience of riding need not be put off, as Icelandic horses are renowned for their extremely relaxed manner and the fact that they are easy to control. Introduced by the Vikings, one of their special characteristics is that they have five distinct speeds - in contrast to most horses that can walk, trot and gallop. Due to their relaxed temperament, they are also extremely family friendly. There is a broad choice of farms offering the opportunity to rent Icelandic horses.
Distinctive landscapes
You are sure to be fascinated by Iceland's shimmering hot water springs and geysers. Enjoy a walking trip that will take you between waterfalls, beside majestic fjords and along picturesque stretches of coastline. Observe Iceland's fantastic lava formations, caves and enchanted castles at close quarters, breath in the clean air and enjoy a refreshing drink from one of the many natural freshwater springs. Here you can also observe millions of exotic sea birds such as sea parrots at close quarters. Whales are also a common sight off Iceland's coastline.
