The untouched nature and scenic landscape in Iceland might be the first reason for your visit but it should be far from the only one. Rich history of the Icelandic people since the time of settlement with conflict in religion from the Old Norse Mythology to converting to Christianity is intertwined in Þingvellir National Park and the Golden Circle. Folk tales of trolls and elves and mystic creatures have lived through the ages and to date the Icelanders believe in ghosts and hidden people.

The geothermal hot water in Iceland has had an attraction for centuries integrated in our culture to bathe and go swimming. Children are thought to swim from an early age and we take them for an evening swim just before bed to relax. We nurture body and soul, escape from external stimuli and meet friends and family at the local swimming pool for a discussion on world affairs in the hot pot. No speaking in the sauna, that is reserved for relaxing.
Spas and lagoons can be found around Iceland in abundance so whether you want to watch the midnight sun during the summer or catch a glimpse of the northern lights in the winter season we will find you the perfect fit for you.
