ACTIVITY TOURS
Our activity tours are led by an expert in the chosen field such as hiking, trekking, running or biking. We take you to discover magical areas of Iceland and explore them further with daily activity sessions. We will also cover the main touristic destinations to offer you a complete view of this active volcanic island. For some programs it is necessary to stay in tents or huts with shared facilities for part of the program but for most programs we stay in country hotels with private facilities. For For activity programs such as hiking, running and biking we focus on the period from end of June to mid-September but we offer custom hiking and running tours outside this period.
The tours are open to everyone, both pro-athletes and amateurs can participate in the stages we put together in the wilderness of Iceland. The relaxed and friendly atmosphere you can find at every event will allow both amateurs and pro-athletes to challenge themselves surrounded by the unbelievable Icelandic nature!
