Sail from Reykjavík to Faxaflói Bay on the Andrea ship. See whales and dolphins, stay warm in provided overalls, and learn as you go.

Bus tour from Isafjordur to Dynjandi Waterfall with a guided 90-minute visit, five nearby falls, and big Westfjords scenery.

Guided bus hunt for the northern lights from Reykjavik with pickup, Wi‑Fi onboard, aurora science, and free rebooking if skies don’t cooperate.
“Don’t book with this company! They took us to one spot the entire 3 hours and no sign of lights and we didn’t get a free ticket for another night to see them because they lied and said it was strong lights when there clearly wasn’t any! We understand theres no guarantee but to lie…”
Walk Sólheimajökull Glacier with a certified guide, crampons included, to see crevasses, moulins, and glacier features up close.
