We founded Iceland Travel in 1936 – back when they called travellers “explorers” rather than “tourists” – and for almost 100 years now we’ve been proudly serving the diverse needs of clients from all four corners. With a uniquely local perspective. Living and working in Iceland for so long gives us insight that cannot be bought or borrowed, only earned. We know how to work far in advance, booking up resources early so we can offer the best availability and the best price to our clients. Just like we know which remote farm offers a surprisingly sophisticated tasting menu. How to navigate even the most maze-like conference center. Or where you can buy the perfect wool jumper. With us, each trip feels like it took a century of connections to build – because it did. When our clients’ guests arrive, our local knowledge means we’re able to care for them in the best way. We’ve solved all manner of problems over the years, and developed smooth and simple processes that stop most of them cropping up. But if something ever does – we’re always there on the ground to make it right. We make everything easy, through seamless local service. Iceland’s not just where we do business, though. It’s our home. And we believe in caring for our home. We’re committed to responsible travelling and leaving a positive footprint that in turn supports the efforts of the agents we serve. Our mindful approach helps to make sure that everyone that passes through the country can enjoy it pristine and unspoiled – just like our first intrepid explorers almost a century ago. We do it all because we’re local.
