2. Volcano Hiking and Lava Fields

Walk through freshly formed lava near Fagradalsfjall or explore older volcanic landscapes in the Highlands. Iceland is home to over 130 volcanoes, and the chance to see volcanic activity up close is truly exotic.

3. Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach

Unlike any tropical coastline, Iceland’s black sand beaches are created from cooled lava. Reynisfjara, with its basalt columns, roaring Atlantic waves, and towering sea stacks, is an epic destination for photographers and nature lovers alike.

4. Whale Watching in Arctic Waters

Board a boat from Reykjavik, Akureyri, or Húsavík to witness the majesty of humpback whales, orcas, and dolphins swimming in Iceland’s pristine oceans. The presence of these giant mammals is both humbling and exotic.

5. Northern Lights Safaris

From late September to April, Iceland becomes one of the best places on Earth to view the Northern Lights. Watch green, purple, and pink auroras shimmer across the sky from hot springs, cabins, or open fields.

6. Highland Super Jeep Adventures

Explore the rugged, uninhabited interior of Iceland in specially built 4x4 super jeeps. Travel across rivers, glaciers, and lava deserts to reach hidden hot springs, volcanoes, and geothermal valleys like Landmannalaugar and Askja.

7. Snorkeling Between Continents

In Þingvellir National Park, snorkel in the Silfra fissure between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates. The water here is crystal clear, with visibility up to 100 meters—a surreal experience unmatched anywhere else on Earth.

8. Helicopter Tours Over Volcanoes

See Iceland from above on an aerial tour that flies over glaciers, craters, and steaming lava. It’s a thrilling and luxurious way to appreciate the country’s raw beauty.

Cultural Exoticism: Icelandic Traditions

Iceland’s landscape is otherworldly, but so is its culture. As a Nordic island isolated for centuries, Iceland has preserved ancient traditions, language, and folklore.

  • Elves and Hidden People: Over half of Icelanders believe in the existence of Huldufólk—mystical beings said to live in rocks and hills.
  • Old Norse language: Modern Icelandic is almost identical to the language spoken by Vikings.
  • Þorrablót Festival: A winter feast of traditional (and sometimes strange) foods such as fermented shark, lamb’s head, and rye bread.
  • Icelandic Sagas: Ancient stories of Viking explorers, battles, and gods that are still widely read and taught.
