sPECIAL PROmOTION
Magical Mystery Tour
Sit back, relax and enjoy the ride. Iceland Excursions will take you on a magical tour
of the mystery island called Iceland. It’s not hard to believe in the supernatural when
in awe of winter landscapes, steam rising out of bubbling hot springs in subzero tem-
peratures, frozen waterfalls, the yellowish glow of the winter sun and bright green
northern lights dancing across the black canvas of the sky. To enjoy the wonders of
winter, join Iceland Excursions’ ever-popular Golden Circle Classic and Northern
Lights tours. For a proper hands-on experience, opt for the Viking Horse and Golden
Circle Afternoon. From the back of an Icelandic horse, you become one with nature.
Put your faith in the trusty servant and feel how man, horse and the surrounding
landscape slowly start to merge and how sightseeing becomes a feast for all senses.
All tours run in English with selected trips in French, German and Scandinavian.

Cruise Europe’s Largest Glacier
Experience the thrill of a snowmobile or jeep tour on Vatnajökull, Europe’s largest
glacier. Glacierjeeps, the only company running tours on Vatnajökull, offers daily
departures year round. Take in the breathtaking mountain views while you cruise
the open spaces, or for those who prefer to explore the area on foot, glacier hikes are
also an option. Afterwards, enjoy a meal at Jöklasel—at 840 meters (2,756 feet), it’s
Iceland’s highest restaurant—with views down towards the Atlantic Ocean. As the
owners put it, the first time people take one of these tours it’s out of curiosity: to see
the midnight sun, the hot springs, hidden ice caves, and the mountainous glacier. The
second time they visit, it’s often because they’re convinced they left something behind
the first time they were here. glacierjeeps.is

by Hallvarður Aspelund is truly unique, resembling the characteristic Viking
