Iceland
can be relaxing. It has some fine beaches, a couple of nature parks, vast
expanses where one can commune with nature and be at peace with oneself and
with the world. It is ideal to recharge the soul and re energize oneself during
a short vacation.
However,
there are people who are in search of thrills and adventure when they set out
on holidays. Iceland does not disappoint. One can easily book a thrilling
Iceland adventure tour package and come away fully satisfied. There are Iceland
tour
packages by Discover.is that
offer a medley of experiences and one of the highlights is driving across rough
terrain in a super jeep (a converted 4x4) in search of thrills. Those who love snorkeling
and diving will have their wish fulfilled. If snowmobiling or dog sledding is
what one desires, these can be arranged with ease. There are alternatives such
as ATV riding quad biking and buggy riding on mountain slopes. Then there are
ice climbing tours and glacier hiking tours that can be quite demanding but not
impossible for the physically fit. There is skiing and there is sailboat skiing
too. River rafting enthusiasts of all grades will find what they look for in
Iceland. Then there is always trekking, horse riding, heli-skiing, beli
snowboarding and cycling for those so inclined. On land, in water, over water,
and in the air---there is plenty to do. In short, Iceland has no lack of
adventure activities. One can go it alone or opt for adventure Iceland tour
packages available from Discover.is.
Paragliding
in Iceland can be quite thrilling. There are tandem paragliding tours as well
as skydiving facilities in Iceland. One has to request it and Discover.is
arranges it. Paragliding gives a bird’s eye view of the beautiful and varied
landscape of Iceland. Hella in the south is the best for skydiving activities.
Heli
skiing and snowboarding can give an adrenaline rush and Skorradalur Valley and
Ski Valley as well as the troll Peninsula are the best locations for heli
skiing. This can be high octane action
and if more sedate activities are desired then there is hiking between the
Porsmork valley and Landmannalaugar
geothermal area that is quite popular for hikes. If one loves water sports then
Hornstrandir is where one can go water skiing and sailing as well as sea
kayaking. Kayaking is also available at Hvalfjorour just outside Reykjavik.
These activities may be available in other countries but if one wants some
unique experiences then one should opt for activities like descending into the
mouth of a volcano. There are caves one can explore and it can be risky too
which adds an element of thrill. Snowmobile driving on glaciers in
Myrdalsjokull glacier and Vatnajokull glacier can be quite exciting. It is also
possible to drive a snowmobile on the Langjokull glacier during the Golden
Circle tour arranged by Discover.is.
These
are specific activities for adventure and thrill seekers that can be arranged
by Discover. However, even for normal people, there is a thrill and a sense of
adventure when they drive across the countryside seated in a super jeep that
takes tourists across mountain tracks and off the beaten paths.
