The new and final season of Game of Thrones will premiere this April. We can hardly wait! As many fans are aware, many of Iceland’s legendary landmarks served as filming locations for the barren, rugged land ´North of the Wall´ in this hit TV series. Some of these landmarks include Thingvellir National Park (The Bloody Gate), Dimmuborgir (Mance Rayder’s Wildling Camp), the South Coast and more!
Iceland has long been a popular destination for international film crews, in large part due to the sub-Arctic climate and volcanic activity which contributes to the unbelievable, otherworldly landscapes and moody natural lighting. Dramatic rock formations, stormy seas, misty fjords, ice caps, and a rich culture of folklore – with no shortage of mystical Gods, elves, dragons, and trolls &#8211; makes Iceland the perfect location for fantasy and adventure. Accessibility also plays a huge factor in why crews choose to film in Iceland – many of Iceland’s incredible destinations are accessible just off the Ring Road with high-speed internet, hotels, and services always within reach.
But you don’t have to be a Game of Thrones or Jon Snow super fan to appreciate Iceland’s vast and untouched nature—there’s a reason why Iceland is consistently a top destination for travelers!

Celebrate your New Year’s Eve in Reykjavik with the age-old Nordic tradition of the bonfire with one of our best tour guides. Warm-up and lift your spirits in the light and heat of the blaze before we find the perfect spot to see the citywide fireworks show and ring in the New Year.
The Bonfire &amp; Fireworks tour is the best way how to celebrate New Year in Iceland!

As midnight draws near, we’ll find a good spot to enjoy the second tradition: an Icelandic fireworks display like no other. In Iceland, everyone sets off fireworks at midnight all over the city. We’re not talking sparklers, we’re talking real, dazzling fireworks. From a carefully selected vantage point, we’ll get a view of the colorful explosions erupting all over the city, with a glass of sparkling delight in hand.

Discover a unique experience of the healing powers of the geothermal springs. Soak in a natural pool, listen to the bubbling hot spring in the steam rooms, or (for the adventurous), take a dip in the refreshing lake.
Since 1929, locals have been enjoying the healing powers of the natural steam baths by Lake Laugarvatn. Hot, healing steam simmers directly from the ground through grids in the cabin floors of the three traditional steam rooms. The temperature of the steam varies between 40°C (104°F) and 50°C (122°F). Grids in the floor of the steam rooms allow you to hear and smell the boiling natural hot spring right underneath, creating a natural and unique experience.
Next to the steam rooms is Ylur, a Finnish-style sauna. Sit back and enjoy the beautiful lake view through the large window.  Three connected outdoor mineral baths vary in depth, size and temperature.  A hot tub built at a slightly higher level offers a panoramic view of the beautiful surroundings.
Completing the ensemble is the lake itself and the beach. You can walk into the cool lake from a pier or walk on the warm black sand beach. Cold bathing has beneficial health effects.
The café at Laugarvatn Fontana offers a selection of healthy and locally produced delicacies and refreshments, including traditional steam-baked rye bread.

Explore the magnificent lava tunnel Raufarhólshellir, one of the longest and best-known lava tubes in Iceland and located just 30 minutes from Reykjavík.
A journey into Raufarhólshellir is a unique experience. It&#8217;s a great opportunity to witness the inner workings of a volcanic eruption. You&#8217;ll walk in the path of lava that flowed during the Leitahraun eruption, which occurred about 5200 years ago. Every winter spectacular ice sculptures form inside the entrance of the cave, making the experience of visiting the lava tunnel even more breathtaking.
The total length of the tunnel is an impressive 1360 m (4500 ft), the main tunnel being 900 m (3000 ft) long. The tunnel is up to 30 m (98 ft) wide with headroom up to 10 m (32 ft) high, making it one of the most expansive lava tunnels in Iceland.
We built a footbridge so that you can explore the tunnel in an easy and enjoyable manner. Impressive lighting highlights the changing colours and clearly shows the powerful volcanic activity that formed the tunnel.
Your tour includes a guided caving tour in English and use of a helmet and headlamp. A return bus transfer to the cave can be added at the time of purchase. We do recommend you bring warm clothes and sturdy shoes. There is usually some water dripping from the ceiling, so wearing a water resistant or waterproof jacket/clothes is also a good idea.

Immerse yourself in the clearest water in the world and float between two continents in Iceland! A snorkelling adventure in the famous Silfra fissure is an unforgettable experience.
Snorkel in Silfra, where the astonishingly clear water reveals a mesmerizing underwater world full of colors you don’t see above the surface. Silfra is a fissure created by the separation of the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates cutting through Iceland. A natural lava filtering process of the glacial water makes Silfra one of the clearest bodies of water on earth.
After you arrive at Silfra, your guide will give you your dry suit and snorkeling equipment. Your snorkel guide will explain how to use this equipment and how to ensure that you will be warm and comfortable during your 30 to 40-minute snorkeling tour.
During your snorkel you will explore the four main parts of Silfra. You will float through Big Crack, Silfra’s narrowest section where the continental plates are so close you can almost touch them. The fissure then widens into Silfra Hall. Here the full spectrum of Silfra’s colors and clarity become all the more apparent. At this point if you look at just the right angle you can see all the way to Lake Þingvallavatn in the distance. Near to the opening to Þingvellir lake you will enter the deeper waters of Silfra Cathedral. where you’ll feel like you are flying over the boulders and glacial silt. Your snorkel is finished in the endless visibility of Silfra Lagoon.
Make sure to drink some of the Silfra water while you are snorkeling! Who knows when you will be able to drink water so pure again?
Duration of snorkelling tour: 2.5 hours (30-40 minutes of snorkelling).

Enjoy a natural and historical treasure in the Golden Circle area: the peaceful and mystical Secret Lagoon hot spring pool.
We have kept the Secret Lagoon natural, simple, and unique for you so that you can get the true Icelandic experience. The Secret Lagoon, known locally as &#8220;Gamla Laugin&#8221;, is the oldest swimming pool in Iceland. Local residents built it in 1891 at Hverahólmi, a geothermal area near Flúðir village.
What makes the lagoon special is the rich natural resources of warm water coming from the hot springs. Vaðmálahver, Básahver, and Litli Geysir (an active geyser which spouts every few minutes for the guests), provide 100% of the water supply in the lagoon.  The pool water flows continuously, and it takes only 24 hours to complete replacement. Warm, clean, and rich in sulfur, the water stays at 38-40°C (100 – 104°F) year-round.
A walking path around the pool lets you safely watch the boiling, gushing springs of water from the hot springs.
The Secret Lagoon has modern changing rooms. A bistro sells snacks, cold sandwiches and drinks. You can also purchase drinks to enjoy in the lagoon itself.

Take a walk in one of Iceland’s most unique gardens: a beautiful collection of stones and minerals that show how Iceland was created. 
Geologically speaking, the East Fjords are one of the oldest areas in Iceland and have the most diverse rock variety. A local East Icelander, Petra Sveinsdottir, created this magnificent exhibit of rocks and minerals over a lifetime. She designed a display in her house and garden. More than 90% of the minerals and semi-precious stones come from the surrounding Stodvarfjordur area.
Petra began building her mineral collection when she and her husband bought their house in 1946. Petra had a special talent when it came to locating a beautiful stone. Local people tell stories about how Petra had the ability to find a magnificent mineral in a place where they just had been walking minutes before. Petra compared mineral collecting to hunting or fishing.
The museum is not only an interesting geological exhibit, it also will give you an insight into the local life of East Iceland through one of the area’s most unique residents.

Imagine encountering whales and puffins in wild nature. Enjoy this boat trip from the famous whale watching town Husavik by Skjalfandi Bay, in the north of Iceland.
With our RIB speedboats we can offer you more area to cover in search for whales, the gentle giants of the sea. A RIB boat is faster than the wind, so it is more likely for us to find the big whales. Normally we do not have to leave our bay to see whales, but this tour focuses on finding the bigger ones further out. Nothing is guaranteed, but your chances to encounter some of the world&#8217;s biggest animals increases.
After you put on warm safety overall and a life vest, step aboard a modern RIB speedboat and head out to the beautiful surroundings of Skjalfandi Bay. Your specialized wildlife guide will demonstrate the safety on board and give you live commentary on the sights encountered throughout the tour.
Your first visit is Puffin Island during the nesting period (April 15th – August 20th approximately) where you can observe thousands of colorful puffins, often called the &#8220;Clowns of the Ocean&#8221;.
After a short pit stop by the island, your journey continues into the deeper waters of Skjalfandi Bay to look  for whales. Watching whales in a respectful way in their wild natural environment from a RIB speedboat is a unique experience.

During the summer, the area abounds with birdlife: shags, puffins, black-legged kittiwakes, arctic terns, fulmars and eider ducks. Even the king of Icelandic birds, the white-tailed eagle, sometimes makes an appearance.
During the tour, the crew lowers a shellfish plough into the ocean to catch a wonderful selection of shellfish and sea life: scallops, sea urchins, crabs, starfish, sea cucumbers, and much more. Some of these are even possible to eat fresh from the sea as &#8220;Viking sushi,&#8221; such as scallops and sea urchins. It doesn’t get any fresher than this!
