Christmas trip to Iceland

The Twin Peaks quad bike tour takes you off the beaten track. From asphalt and gravel roads to mountain tracks, rocky paths to steep slopes, you’ll get the thrill of quad biking on a range of terrains. And all surrounded by stunning scenery. Your destinations are two stunning mountains: Hafrafell and Úlfarsfell. First you have to get up them – a thrilling quad bike experience, as you take incredible mountain trails to the peaks. Your reward? Unbelievable views across the Reykjavik area and the Reykjanes peninsula. It really is twice as nice.

The super jeep turns nature’s obstacles into an exciting challenge and a fun experience for passengers. A super jeep is a modified four-by-four that is specially equipped to tackle the uneven terrain that lies around some of the most exciting attractions in Iceland. A super jeep safari can last anywhere from a few hours to an entire day and can be combined with other activities such as a snowmobile ride, horseback riding, white water rafting and other teambuilding activities. Groups can stop off at any interesting sites they discover along the way.

The Northern Lights, or Aurora Borealis, are a spectacular multi –coloured natural phenomenon that often dances across the Arctic sky. On this trip we leave the lights of the city behind to go into the countryside to hunt for the Northern Lights. The destination for the trip varies according to weather conditions and the most favourable conditions for seeing the lights.

Northern lights are caused by particles from the sun being flung out into the space, so called solar winds and clouds. These clouds assemble near the poles and when these clouds of electromagnetic particles collide with the gasses in the Earths atmosphere, the mystical lights of the Aurora Borealis are created. Particular weather conditions lend themselves to spotting Northern Lights more easily, usually on very clear, calm and cold evenings. The excursion will not run if the weather does not permit.

The Icelandic horse is unique thanks to a ban on the import of horses that has applied in Iceland since the 1100s. It is a reliable partner that will take you across the Icelandic terrain and through its stunning natural environment no matter the season or weather conditions. A horseback trip can be enjoyed as part of a broader programme or as an excursion on its own, for just a few hours or over the course of a day, in close proximity to Reykjavík or around larger parts of the island. The trips traverse mountainous slopes, steep cliff faces, desolate lava fields and magnificent ravines. The horses are allocated to match rider experience and we make sure that all participants receive the equipment and instructions they need for the trip.
