Iceland

Iceland holidays

Iceland may be part of Europe but its far northerly location, epic natural wonders and distinctively unique architecture truly put it in a world of its own. This is a land where waterfalls and geysers create swirling mists and craters carve deep impressions in the landscape. With a city break to the capital, Reykjavik, you can experience this inspired island for yourself. It boasts a rainbow-painted Old Town, Michelin-starred restaurants and a remarkable range of day trips. Fancy taking the road less travelled? Opt for a South and West Iceland break with hire car included and go at your own pace. From here, it’s easy to explore towns like Selfoss and Vik I Mirdal.

Iceland resorts

South and West Iceland

The south and west of Iceland are bursting with wild beauty, where black-sand beaches meet icy glaciers and waterfalls plunge into moss-covered valleys. Explore breathtaking national parks and magical lagoons with ease. With your car hire included, you can venture off the beaten track to stroll

Whale watching

With more than 20 species of whale found around these parts, you’ll have a good chance of seeing these magical marine animals up close. We’re talking humpback and minke, along with white-beaked dolphins, and maybe even some porpoises. Get ready to see nature in all its glory.

Enchanting water

Iceland is surrounded by the cool blue tones of the northern Atlantic Ocean. This deep body of water hosts a remarkable range of whale species. Get a boat trip from Faxafloi Bay and see if you can spot grey, minke and pilot whales gracefully breaking the water’s surface or glide around Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon. For an even more relaxing event in the water, it’s well worth a visit to the Blue Lagoon, a beautiful geothermal spa close to Keflavik Airport.

Explore the city

Iceland’s capital, Reykjavik, is home to a roll call of fascinating attractions and architecture. That starts with the Hallgrimskirkja. The largest church in Iceland, its jagged edges reach skywards. It’s also well worth visiting the National Museum of Iceland. Here, you’ll find bronze figures and ancient manuscripts, taking you on a story of the country across the ages, from 800 to the present day.
