…1 country, 2 completely different experiences, depending on the season.
In wintertime, head UNDER the glacier, into an ice-cave! I called it “My Blue Room”.
In Summer, drive the now-famous Ring Road with stops in our favorite overnights – dockside inns, national park cabins, farmsteads, and even homestays.
Hike to remote hot springs and behind waterfalls. Zodiac around pods of whales. Learn to bake bread in the volcanic earth. Drive the spine of the island inaccessible in wintertime. And meet the locals who will show you how to ferment shark (yes, they really do eat – and enjoy – this local delicacy.)
Then splurge on a flight-see trip to one of Iceland’s northern offshore islands to sip champagne amidst a flock of nesting puffins as the Midnight Sun sets, barely, only to rise again minutes later.
Year round, take a food crawl along the fault line (we call it “dinner plates on Tectonic plates”), tasting Minke Whale and Arctic Char, and the Icelanders’ daily tea time ritual of waffles and cream.
Ride a uniquely-5-gaited Icelandic horse on an island where many locals still rely on horses for everyday transportation. Ride through volcanic landscapes dotted with cute but mysterious elf houses.
Rejuvenate in the iconic Blue Lagoon, even if you’re crowd-averse like us (we’ve got some secrets for you.)
Iceland’s contrasts are many and striking. Rare Finds, with its gift for routing and its depth of local knowledge, will design a tailored experience capturing both the well-known marvels and hidden gems of this island of fire and ice.
