Rising dramatically from a fault line running the length of the Atlantic Ocean, Iceland itself is one of the most stunning natural wonders on earth. Bubbling hot springs, bursting geysers, active volcanoes, rushing waterfalls, snow-capped mountains and mighty glaciers – it’s a natural adventure playground waiting to be explored.

On any activity holiday in Iceland, we think it’s essential that you get into the great outdoors, strap on your boots (or crampons) and explore the magnificent country on foot. This way, you explore slowly, drinking in the dramatic scenery and appreciating the sheer scale of the drama on show. Walking in Iceland is a little different from a stroll around your local park, for us, it’s an essential part of visiting the land of fire and ice.
