Velkominn!

Experiencing new things keeps the soul vitalized and helps to bring meaning and purpose to life. Our Highlands of Iceland trip does just this. This ancient landscape of harsh beauty and raw natural power still remains largely unexplored. Traverse fields of volcanic sand, wind-carved mountains, and rainbow-hued valleys hidden from the outside world. Soak in steaming hot springs fueled by geothermal energy. Savor farm-to-table meals that celebrate Iceland’s singular cuisine. Create unforgettable memories biking through the wild isolation of Landmannalaugar, past the ice-capped peaks of central Iceland’s glaciers, and down singletrack trails forged by native sheep.

Our trip to the Highlands will have you returning home renewed after spending time in the untamed heart of Iceland, a region that moves to its own rugged rhythm, far from the well-trodden tourist trails. Come to the Highlands to recalibrate your spirit with their unique brand of majestic solitude.
