Holidays...
The chance to get away leaves you refreshed and invigorated. Travel really does broaden the mind. However, it’s important to choose wisely. Making a wrong decision leads to dissatisfaction as well as being a costly mistake.
As a very broad generalisation there are people who take a holiday as the chance to do nothing very much, and those who use their holiday as an opportunity to learn something new and experience something different. The holidays we arrange are firmly geared towards the latter type of traveller.
Wildlife watching holidays
Iceland's volcanic landscapes provide the backdrop for a memorable natural history holiday and allow visiting naturalists:
• A true wildlife and wilderness experience
• Splendid birwatching
• Delightful botanising
• Remarkable cetacean watching
• Excellent photographic opportunities
Getting here from Europe and North America is straightforward and comfortable rural hotels and guesthouses make delightful bases after long days in the field.

Geology and landscape tours
Iceland's dramatic landscapes leave a deep impression on all visitors. Overwhelmingly volcanic, and much changed by glaciers, the rugged countryside is a delight to explore and experience.
We arrange tours for geologists and geographers wishing to study the landscape in detail and also more general trips for those who simply want to understand more about the processes involved in landscape creation.
Human settlement in Iceland has also left its mark on our landscapes and the cultural and historical aspects of many of our tours are much appreciated by visitors.
Some of our most popular tours provide a blend of landscape enjoyment, cultural history and wildlife watching.
We are now operating tours to the site of the Eyjafjallajökull eruption.
