An especially designed Day Walking tour making a deep exploration of Iceland's South and North West Coasts and interior including the active volcano belt.  Traverse some of Iceland's grand, dramatic scenery on day walks and touring.  It is an active trip with lots of participataion and inclusions designed for nature lovers and ideal for those wanting to experience this stunning country first hand.  Taking a journey around Iceland is among the world's most spectaccular driving and walking experiences -to the South is over 10, 000 miles of open water to the Antarctic and to the North a mysterious chaos of mountains, volcanoes and glaciers with the highland spirit calling you to the Arctic. Our guides know secret inland trails to Mt Hekla in the central highlands and the Fjallabak trail to the heights of the volcanic system on the world's longest eruptive fissure.

Lake Myvatan is surrounded by active volcanoes and is teeming with rich bird life.  At Vik enjoy specialised walking and bird watching on high majsestic basalt cliffs.  Visit Nordfjord, Iceland's most isolated community, accessed by water only much of the year.  Cruise a glacier lagoon with the ocean in view, amongst crackling white and blue icebergs. 

You will feel the closely interconnected volcanic and coastal landscapes so smooth yet dramatically strong dotted with small fishing harbours and rare and isolated farms along the way as you perceive the way of life of Icelanders of today and yesterday.
