ICELAND LUXURY TRAVEL

TAILOR-MADE TRAVEL ICELAND

Known as the Land of Fire and Ice, Iceland offers a dramatic contrast of elemental beauty and untouched wilderness, where glaciers calve into luminous lagoons, volcanoes rise from black sand beaches, geysers erupt across vast, otherworldly lava fields, and powerful waterfalls showcase raw natural forces.

With fewer than half a million inhabitants and most living in the capital of Reykjavik, Iceland offers an immense sense of space and solitude that only deepens its allure. Our bespoke luxury tours take full advantage of that rarity, with private traversals of the Golden Circle, access to hidden ice caves beneath ancient glaciers, and secluded soaks in geothermal lagoons far from the crowds. While winter brings Northern Lights viewings from remote countryside lodges, summer offers endless daylight for private exploration of fjords, lava fields, and volcanic highlands.

Every Iceland journey is curated entirely around you, with expert local guidance, exceptional properties, and seamless white-glove service throughout.

Northern Iceland

A place of sweeping epic landscapes, from imposing mountain ranges to enormous glacier-carved valleys, Northern Iceland is an outdoor adventure playground. For nature lovers, witnessing the marvelous humpback whales that frequent the Eyjafjörður fjord is a must. Travelers can experience horseback riding atop Iceland’s iconic, purebred Nordic horses brought by the Viking settlers. The Troll Peninsula is the jewel in the crown of Northern Iceland, home to the largest continuous mountain range in the country and some of the country’s best fly fishing spots. Also a welcome place to relax, the magnificent property Deplar Farm offers guests here the opportunity to truly unwind and take in the spectacular surroundings after a busy day exploring.

Southern Iceland

Southern Iceland is a land of striking contrasts, where fire and ice shape some of the country’s most iconic natural wonders. Along the famed Golden Circle, visitors encounter the thundering Gullfoss waterfall, the erupting geothermal fields of Geysir, and the historic rift valley of Thingvellir National Park. Continuing along the southern coast reveals an even more dramatic landscape, from the shimmering icebergs of Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon and the black sands of Diamond Beach to the volcanic presence of Eyjafjallajökull and the remote beauty of the Westman Islands. This ever-changing terrain invites exploration through unforgettable experiences, including glacier hikes, snowmobiling, helicopter flights, and snorkeling between tectonic plates.

Blue Lagoon

This iconic maze of volcanic rocks houses various pools of mysterious blue waters located amongst the historic 800-year-old lava field. The mineral-rich water boasts silica, algae and mineral salt which is believed to stimulate circulation while strengthening and moisturizing the skin. The perfect place to relax, travelers can slow down and drift between the Blue Lagoon's comforting volcanic waters and the wonderful spa of The Retreat Hotel, built into the Lagoon itself. Guests here can also take advantage of the hotel’s private sections of the Blue Lagoon, secluded and away from the crowds.

Our trip to Iceland was great, and we were super happy with the itinerary. It was great for the whole family, including the children. The activities were fantastic, and the tomato farm was a big hit. The trip to the Glacier Lagoon was long, but a great experience. The private villa was comfortable and the personal chef was fantastic - the food was better than top-starred restaurants in the city! We also loved the visit to the secret lagoon, which was a great surprise.

This was the best-run, most well taken care of trip we've ever experienced. Our Travel Expert was a huge asset and was on top of everything. We had the best Christmas at the Blue Lagoon; the accommodation was uber luxurious and I don't think we'll find someplace as nice as that again. Everything was perfect and over the top, and the whole experience was seamless.

We are so happy with our recent Iceland holiday. I think it's probably worth nothing that both of us would have been happy to spend more time there - that's a measure of a good time! Accommodation was excellent. There is nothing about Deplar Farm that should have less than a rave review. Their helicopter took us over the mountains to the whale watching (wow!) and back along the coast. Fantastic! Each day seemed to lead to another memorable experience. There was also not a single person with whom we interacted that we did not wish for more time but it would be remiss of me not to flag three outstanding individuals: our snorkeling guide in the Silfra fissure, James; our helicopter pilot, Andri; and our tour guide and companion, Atli who was 11 out of 10.

We visited Iceland, Norway and Sweden and overall, enjoyed our experience. Copenhagen was awesome; it was a cute city with absolutely amazing food. We enjoyed all the activities, as well as everyone we met along the way. Our guide in Stockholm was extremely knowledgeable and we had a good time with him. Highlights included the private helicopter tour in Iceland and the private cruise around Stockholm's archipelago. The Thief Hotel in Oslo was incredible. We are looking forward to our upcoming tour to Spain and Portugal this year.
