It wouldn’t be a stretch to claim that the travel destinations people choose say a lot about their personality. For example, if you always go for capital cities like New York, Paris or London, you must be into the urban style, a cosmopolitan way of living, art and culture. If you prefer places that are surrounded by sea or mountains (or both), you probably are an adventurous type who loves being out in nature.
Iceland is a country that mostly travellers in the second category dream about. However, we guarantee you that you will have the time of your life in Iceland no matter who you are and what you like. What fun and unique things can you do in Iceland?
- Marvel at The Northern Lights
If you go to Iceland any time from September to April, you will have the chance to see one of the most magnificent phenomena in the whole world, the Northern Lights. What are they? It all starts when particles from the sun move around aggressively. Some of them even manage to reach the Earth. However, our planet’s magnetic field keeps us safe by pushing them back and directing them to the Earth’s poles. The colours in the sky are the result of the solar particles colliding with molecules in our atmosphere.
If you want to see this spectacular sight, you should hire a car and head north. A quick search on Enjoy Travel will be enough for you to find a reliable car and hire it on the spot. Then, you can go to Jokulsarlon glacier lagoon or anywhere in the Westfjords to enjoy the show.
- Swim in the Geothermal Baths
With all the mountains, lagoons and glaciers, it is no wonder that water quality and supply is excellent in this country. Things get even better as there are natural pools with hot water, where people can bathe, all around. The most popular thermal baths in Iceland are the Blue Lagoon and at the Fjallabak Nature Reserve in Landmannalaugar. It is important to note that there are also spa and other wellness services offered in these areas.
- Interested in a New Hobby? What about Whale Watching?
Yes, you read that correctly! It is almost a sure thing that you will be able to spot these enormously beautiful and fascinating creatures swimming and playing in the water. If you don’t want to miss this spectacular spectacle, you can book a whale-watching tour. Húsavík is one of the best places for this awesome and unique activity.
- Book a Volcano Tour
One extraordinary activity that you must do in Iceland is to go on a volcano tour. Why not seize the opportunity of seeing an active volcano up close? There is a great variety of such tours that you get to choose from. Mount Eyjafjallajokull, Mount Hekla and the Katla Volcano are just a few of your options. We would totally recommend the tour at the dormant Thrihnukagigur Volcano as you can enter the volcano and reach the magma chamber.
