Visit Iceland’s only whiskey distillery for a guided tasting of Flóki whisky, Vor gin, and Víti Brennivín, with a behind-the-scenes look.
“Richie was so funny. We had 12 and with his humor we all laughed a lot. It was nice to try many different types/flavors of the liquor produced at this distillery. We would recommend this stop on your trip”
Super-jeep to Breiðamerkurjökull for a guided glacier walk and the season’s best ice caves, with crampons, harnesses, and photo time.
“Javier was our guide, he was helpful, informative, and funny. He made the excursion very enjoyable! The cave was beautiful, the glacier hike was great too. It was about 6 hours so if you don’t have time to do the full glacier walk I would definitely recommended just booking the ice cave because that’s something…”
Quad bike off-road from Reykjavik to Twin Peaks for heated-grip comfort, wild dirt tracks, and big views over the city and bay.
“The price for this activity does exceed many of the other activities that Iceland has to offer, but the experience and fun you have with the quads made it amazing. This was the second time to Iceland and I would recommend the quad bike to anyone coming. The guides, quad bike trail and the views…”
Hauganes whale watching in North Iceland with warm coveralls, hot chocolate, and local guides—optimized for calmer sightings in Eyjafjörður.
“A magical experience with local men who knew exactly where to find the whales. The overalls meant that no one needed to be cold and the hot chocolate and cinnamon biscuits were a treat. The proximity to the whales and the backdrop of mountains reflected in the water made the event very special indeed.”
A 2-hour North Iceland ride on friendly Icelandic horses, mixing birch forest, black sand, lava rocks, river crossing, and tölt.
“Honestly, It was one of the best experience on our trip. If you love horses, you’re going to love this tour. We didn’t only ride, but saw beautiful views and it was even snowing in some spots. You don’t need experience riding a horse to do this activity, they explain everything. Our host was very…”

Tandem paragliding over Iceland’s lava fields from Reykjavik, with optional pickup and GoPro. Small group, expert safety briefing.
“This was an amazing experience for our family that we won’t ever forget. We were in touch with Happy World (company who runs the experience) before the event and they were great. They walked us through the safety instructions before every single person went up (there were 6 of us) as they take safety seriously.…”
Small-group iceberg boat, glacier hike on Fjallsjökull, and a 4x4 jeep ride at Fjallsárlón basecamp. Free parking included.
“Guide was very passionate and knowledgeable. Love how it felt so secluded. Also, the fact that we had a small group made the experience feel more intimate, too.”
