Iceland Highlights
Thingvellir National Park
One of the park's most iconic features is the Almannagjá gorge, a magnificent rift that runs through the landscape. It's here that the world's oldest democratic parliament, the Alþingi, was established in the year 930, making Thingvellir a site of immense historical significance. Walking along the Almannagjá gorge, you can trace the footsteps of ancient Icelandic leaders who gathered to discuss laws and settle disputes, immersing yourself in the rich cultural heritage of the country.

Glacier Adventures
Exploring the glacier is an adventure like no other. As you traverse the glacier's surface, you'll be surrounded by a surreal landscape of dazzling blue ice caves, ice sculptures, and breathtaking vistas that stretch as far as the eye can see. Just a short distance away lies the famous glacier lagoon, Jökulsárlón. This shimmering turquoise lagoon is a testament to the glacier's ever-changing nature, as enormous icebergs calve from the glacier gracefully float on the tranquil waters.

Reviews from our clients
I had a really great time on this trip and positively LOVED Iceland. The landscape was truely amazing and the guiding was the best i have experienced. I loved the variety in the walks and the pace. My group was friendly and supportive and fun... the accommodation was just gorgeous and overall it was a really good trip. Having local guides made the trip unique and the leadership by Gabriella and Ragna was consistently present and switched on.

Iceland is amazing and Gabriela and Ragnar were wonderful guides. This was our 3rd Walkabout tour and we are always impressed. The variety in geography, geology, fauna and flora was totally unexpected and really surprised us as we thought it would be similar to Norway - you need to do both tours! Everything form icecaps to glaciers to volcanos to thermal baths to geysers to lunar landscapes to picturesque fjords and villages - the list goes on. As usual, the logistics were well done and the Hotels and food were very local and of a high standard."

Iceland is full of amazing landscapes - thundering waterfalls, steaming (and stinking) geothermal areas, tiny communities sandwiched between cliffs and fjords, beautiful glaciers and more. We loved the hikes over ridges and down green misty valleys, alongside old lava flows and through 'Game of Thrones territory'. And puffins are impossibly cute! It was great to hike again with Graeme and Pascal and the local guides who joined us were also terrific. Another first class experience with Walkabout.
