ICELAND ROADTRIP

EMBARK ON THE JOURNEY OF A LIFETIME IN ICELAND!

Ever tried a self drive roadtrip?

Iceland has been an extremely popular destination in the last few years, so much so that you may think you already know a lot about this Nordic gem. But if you don’t visit the country you’d never get the real feel of this paradise & before you start planning we need you to know that if you cannot drive then you don’t have to worry at all!
The RoadTrip is designed in a way that everyone gets a chance to drive & if you’re good at it then you can even be the lead driver for your car. (3/4 Pax in each car)

Note :
• Inform us if you don’t know how to drive so that you can sit with those who know how to drive ! Simple ?

•The roads are easy in Iceland & if you have driven in India you need not worry at all (offbeat driving is not required at all for this roadtrip)

• 6 out of 8 hotels/guest houses that are booked for your roadtrip boast about catching Aurora from their property so you might get lucky too as they are perfectly located! (Fingers crossed)

What’s in store for you ?
• A cracker of an itinerary wherein you can touch all the famous spots as well as cover some of the off-beaten locations
• Aurora Hunting (Northern Lights) at different spots almost every alternate night because we are also staying in remote towns/villages where you can easily go away from the light pollution to get blessed by Aurora Borealis
• Hand-Picked highly rated properties & cabins/cottages in the wild where your travel experience would certainly feel raw, rugged & wild !
• Abundance of nature to fill your lungs & pockets with pure joy
