From small but cosmopolitan Reykjavik, to the sweeping highlands of Landmannalaugur, Iceland's fascinating geology and friendly people make it a fascinating, off-the-beaten-track vacation spot. |
Why Iceland? If you've talked with anyone who's visited this country, odds are you're already intrigued by it. First, Iceland, like its Scandinavian neighbors, is gay-friendly. Second, its unique landscape, combining naturally warm rivers and frosty glaciers, barren moonscapes and steaming geysers, is unlike anything you've seen before. And yet Iceland is close -- only five hours from the east coast.
- Vikings & Volcanoes. Adventure travel in Iceland: Few spots on earth offer the extremes of Iceland: The friendly people, descended directly from Viking explorers; an unspoiled landscape that ranges from lush vegetation to fuming volcanic craters to rainbow-shrouded waterfalls; and a rich history that includes the world's oldest parliament and some of folklore's strangest legends. On our adventure week, you'll enjoy an invigorating mix of hiking, mountain biking, whitewater rafting, kayaking, and swimming in the countryside, with time afterward to enjoy the nightlife of gay-friendly Reykjavik.
