Iceland tours cover the country

Iceland is actually a huge country, and it is divided into 7 distinct regions. When you plan Iceland tours you can choose from escorted, semi-escorted or a number of Icelandic horse riding tours. These cover many of the regions of the country, and for this reason it is important to have some idea of its layout or geography before you choose an Iceland vacation. One of these sections of Iceland is the capital city, Reykjavik. Others are larger areas: North, South, East, and West Iceland. North is the coastline with small communities. This is the part of Iceland that sports the Northern Lights in the winter. South is the section adjacent to the capital city. East is mountains, glaciers, fjords, and coastline. West is primarily forests, lakes, and rivers. The last two areas are the Westfjords and Highlands. The Westfjords are rugged cliffs and tiny fishing villages along the far northwest of the country. The Highlands are in the central part of the country and are mostly uninhabited glaciers. Before choosing from the Iceland tours or any of our adventure tours it is important to have an idea of the different areas of this country.

Not all tours are led by tour guides or conducted from cruise ships. Iceland self-drive tours are a perfect choice for the more independent or adventurous. When you opt for this experience you will fly into Reykjavik, the capital city. On your second day you will receive a rental car and all the necessary documents to drive through the country. From there you will have a general outline of your Iceland driving tours, with locations or attractions to visit each day. Private homes/farmhouses are available and ready for you to spend the night. Since tours can be customized and since you are driving your own car, you will be much more independent. We invite you to investigate this option by reading the information on the Self Drive Programs pages.

Whatever you are looking for on your vacation, it is available through the Iceland driving tours. If you have any questions simply go to the Contact page and email us.
