Iceland · 1-HOUR EXPERIENCES
Good 1-hour experiences fill up weeks ahead and the great ones go first. Below: the 2 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Sail from Reykjavik’s Old Harbor to Akurey, Engey, or Lundey with an English-speaking naturalist guide. You will watch puffins, eider ducks, guillemots, terns, and other seabirds from the boat, using free binoculars. Warm overalls, raincoats, and blankets help in cool weather, and guides such as Frida add lively puffin facts to the hour-long outing.
“Guide was knowledgeable. Perfect amount of time to circle the island.”
Fly with Norðurflug from Reykjavik Domestic Airport over colorful mountains, lava fields, craters, hot springs, and geothermal power plants. Your English-speaking pilot explains the sights, then lands for about 15 minutes beside a remote geothermal area. The small group fits up to six people, and exact departure time depends on weather and availability.
“It was amazing and spectacular!’ Max was a very nice pilot and tourguide. If your hesitating… go for it, it’s wonderful!”
Pick a glacier, a harbour or a hot spring.
