Boat trip on the famous Glacier Lagoon and an ATV excursion near Europe’s largest glacier, Vatnajökull.
We fly to Höfn in Hornafjördur, a young town partially framed by Vatnajökull Glacier, larger than all other glaciers in Europe combined. This glacier and its various tongues flow along steep mountainsides, gently dominating the region's coastline. Our waiting coach drives us to the Glacier Lagoon, where huge, aqua-blue icebergs dot this mystical space. We board a boat and shove off for an otherworldly cruise, zigzagging between the imposing bergs. This area was the setting for the opening scenes of the James Bond film, Die Another Day.

In the Black Sand Dunes tour you'll get the chance to ride ATV (quad bikes) across the sand dunes at the edges of Vatnajokull National Park. The trip starts at the geothermal pools at Hoffell and then we will proceed to drive into the epic looking landscape of the black sand dunes. The surrounding Hoffell mountains rise for 900 meters with their bush covered hills looming over the area, providing a Lord of the Rings-like character
