Travel to Iceland for the most unusual
and exciting adventure,
amazing scenery and exhilarating sports.
See the Northern Lights (weather permitting) in Hvacelfjordur,
only 45 minutes from Reyjkavik. Hotel Glymur is bright
and modern with lots of paintings and objets dart. With its fantastic views across
the fjord and excellent food it makes an ideal base.

The Hvacelfjordur Fjord
For a real adventure, drive about 2 hours through beautiful scenery in
the mountains east of Reykjavik to the glacier. Learn how the Icelanders
use their jeeps. Test your skills driving 4 x 4s across snow and ice. Other sports include
snowmobiling, downhill inner tube slalom, tobogganing and glacier golf. Enjoy a buffet
lunch with tables and seats carved out of the hillside, and wine and beer chilled in the
ice.
Reykjavik is a modern city with some trendy designer
shops, art galleries and shops selling Icelandic pullovers. Drink at the Kaffi
restaurant, where the bar is covered with ice blocks cut from huge glaciers. For
a special meal visit the Perlan, built on top of the thermal reservoir
tanks overlooking the city. The restaurant on the top floor rotates through 360 degrees
and offers an unobstructed view of the city.

Volcanic scenery in the Svartsengin thermal area
Visit the Blue Lagoon in the Svartsengin geothermal
area. The scene is surrealistic as the newly-built changing rooms and restaurant are
landscaped into the black surrounding lava. There are saunas, steam rooms and a thermal
waterfall. Enjoy a massage in the warm lagoon. Eat a good lunch in the restaurant before
your short drive back to the airport. You will feel like a million dollars after the Blue
Lagoon experience!
