Zenith Holidays in Iceland

Known as the land of fire and ice, Iceland has much to offer all year round.

Visit the geysirs, mud pools, glaciers and volcanoes, scuba dive down to the point where the 2 continents of Europe and America meet, see whales and puffins, have a go at horseriding on the famous icelandic horses or head out at night to try and find the Northern Lights.

One thing is for sure - one visit will not be enough.

As the capital of Iceland, Reykjavik is a cosmopolitan and bustling city. It's also a great place to base yourself for your Icelandic adventure:

Adventure week in Iceland

Outside of Reykjavik there is lots more to see and do in the south/southwest area of Iceland. With geysers, waterfalls, volcanoes and glaciers there's plenty of sightseeing and no trip to Iceland would be complete without a visit to the Blue Lagoon.

Dog Sledding in Iceland

Dog Sledding caters to the romantic, the adventurer, the thrill-seeker, the young and the old alike. The kennel (doghouse)is always easily accessible from Reykjavík, and you can either make your own way on a 4×4 or we can arrange a transfer to and from your hotel .

The trips take place on open landscape offering breathtaking views – weather permitting, of course! You don't have to book a tour and can just visit the kennels. They are available year round on snow or dry land (depends on mother nature!)

Make sure to book well in advance, and remember, whichever tour you choose, belly rubs are mandatory! A dog ride is a must for all visitors to the “Land of Ice and Fire,” and is sure to be one of the highlights of your vacation.

Seeing the Northern Lights in Iceland

One of the most popular attractions in Iceland is the Northern Lights however seeing them is never guaranteed. There is a higher chance during the darker months of the year (Sepember to mid-April) ad of course the longer you stay in Iceland the more chance you have of seeing them.

It can depend on weather, location, season and of course luck! There are so many fantastic things to see and do in Iceland that you will always have a great time and it's best to think of the Northern Lights as an added bonus!

We can give you some advice on when to go and where to stay - contact us for more information!

Iceland Volcano & Earthquake Centre

The Iceland Volcano and Earthquake Centre is a brand new interactive educational exhibit dedicated to the unique volcanoes and geology of Iceland.

Located in Hvolsvöllur in the South of the island, it makes for an easy day trip from Reykjavik. The town of Hvolsvöllur is well situated by the roots of the Eyjafjallajokull volcano, the mighty Katla volcano and Mount Hekla which has erupted 18 times since 1104, the last time in the year 2000.

The centre was recently voted the second most exciting new opening for tourists by Lonely Planet!

Feel the forces of nature as you experience an earthquake and see the Fiery Heart of Iceland - a 12m high structure simulating the Mantle plume and the magma flow underneath Iceland.

Whale Watching from Reykjavik

These daily 2-2.5 hour tours run daily from May to September.

Your adventure will start at Reykjavik's old harbour right in the city centre and will take you out to witness some of Iceland's rich and thriving bird life and sealife including Minke and Humpback whales, harbour Porpoises and White Beaked Dophins!

The focus of these tours is on comfort, unique experiences and personal service while making sure the environment is protected and respected in every possible way.

Northern lights by Boat

Searching for the northern lights from the ocean is an amazing experience! You will get the opportunity to sail away from the coastline of Reykjavik and see the aurora borealis dancing over the North Atlantic ocean with beautiful mountains and the city lights in the background!

You will be accompanied by an expert guide who will tell you all about the northern lights as well as explaining the underlying scientific facts that make this magical show possible each year.

You can walk freely around the boat, have a drink at the bar, visit the captain and of course put on a complimentary warm overall, go out on deck, enjoy the views and help search for the auroras!

These daily 2-3 hour tours run from 1 September through to 15th April and are subject to the correct weather conditions.
