For some reason, Iceland has earned the reputation of being a very remote country. In reality it is the one European country that is closest to North America. It is located almost halfway between the U.S and the U.K. There are several misconceptions about the country and its name adds fuel to the fire. It doesn’t really have a freezing climate neither is it entirely covered in ice. Its relatively medium climate averages 60 degrees in the summertime and 32 degrees in winter. In April, the temperature will be around 40 degrees, and you will require some basic winter wear.

This amazingly beautiful and incredibly friendly country has stupendous displays of nature. Iceland is one country in the world that experiences volcano and aurora activity right round the year which adds to its mysticism and allure. Iceland tours will give you a taste of the city life as well as is back-country areas that are still largely undiscovered and unspoilt. There are day tours and those that operate at night. You can experience the snow, adventure and beauty all at one place. The creativity and wonders of nature are at their best in the country ...
... and Iceland tours are the best way to experience them.

The geo-thermally heated pools refresh the soul and you can literally see the rift valley between the European and American geological plates. Apart from this, you can visit glaciers, see volcanoes, walk on terrain such as one that exists nowhere else on the planet and of course you get to see Iceland’s famous puffins. The lava fields are a sight to see. They resemble something that you would see only in your wildest dreams. The massive moss-covered rocks are compiled in a haphazard manner on the ground while funnels of steam rise to meet the low-lying grey clouds on the horizon.

Some of the landscapes have a distinctly alien and formidable look with no shrubs and no grass and. What is interesting is that there are not just the regular land tours but cruises, water and sailing tours. Some Iceland tours also cover adventure sports like fissure snorkeling, cave exploring and river rafting trips. The Golden Circle Tours cover interesting sights and sounds. You get to see the spouting and bubbling hot springs at Geysir. The immense columns of water and steam spout several feet into the air and are a spectacle like no other. At Gullfoss, you can experience the glacial water on your face.

The Golden Circle Tours give you the chance get a close look at the beauty of Iceland. You can also go snowmobiling on Iceland's second largest glacier, Langjkull. The tour also covers Hverageroi, the greenhouse village. A large number of Iceland’s vegetable supply comes from here.
