There are a wide variety of tours available in Iceland. Some of these cover large areas of the country, while others focus on smaller areas. You can have traditional trips as well as unique tours. If you choose nature tours you will see unforgettable landscapes, fresh lava fields, powerful waterfalls and grand ice caps. If this is not enough, there are day tours, as well as weekend and holiday tours with emphasis on hiking.
The uninhabited interior of Iceland can be visited only in July and August. There are winter tours, but these need special organization. Apart this, winter in Iceland is something you will never forget: you can go ice fishing, take glacier tours on snowmobile or practice your skiing skills.
Iceland is the best destination for an active tourist. There are plenty of opportunities for an adventurous vacation cross the island: hiking, fishing, swimming, horseback riding, glacier tours, whale watching or bot tours.
Glacier tours are one of the favorite options of tourists visiting Iceland. Glacier tours are made either on snowmobiles, or super jeeps. However, those who like hiking will not be disappointed: more than a half of Iceland is over 400 m above sea level, and a great part of the island is covered by lava, glaciers or sand. There are few marked walking paths, but despite this, hiking is very popular.
Water sports enthusiasts will be pleased to hear that they can choose between kayaking or rafting on inland rivers, glacial waters and wild shores. Swimming is also popular, and because of the natural hot springs, indoor and outdoor swimming pools can be found on every corner. Water temperature is usually 29 degrees Celsius, but one can choose jacuzzis, saunas, solariums and hot spots with temperature between 36 to 44 degrees Celsius.
Fishing is also great in Iceland: salmon and trout are particularly popular. Those who are interested in salmon fishing should schedule their trip from June to mid September, and they must know permits have to be arranged in advance. Trout season is from April/May until late September/October, and tourists can have their permits on the spot. In the winter, ice fishing is popular, and those who are seeking for more extreme adventure, can go sea angling. The season for sea angling begins in late May and ends at the end of August. At the end of the season, tournaments are organized all across Iceland.
There are also various sizes and species of whales in the North Atlantic. Whale watching is another big hit with the tourists, and one can choose from quite a few whale watching ports all around the coastline.
Bird watchers can also feel in heaven. There is no larger birdcliff than Ltrabjarg in the West Fjords. There can be found a wide variety of cliff nesting species, and the largest razorbill colony in the world lives here. The Westman Islands have many kinds of seabirds and here is the largest puffin population in Iceland. - 29291
