"Written by Úlfar, son of the family"
When it comes down to choose a travel operator/company or just how to spend your day in Iceland, then there are endless possibilities, allot of good companies and allot of not so good companies that are just in it for the money! So why chose Iceland Activities?
Our company "Iceland Activities" is my family (my parents, my sister, grandma, girlfriend, brother in law and our closest friends and family). We did not create this company to become rich! We truly love what we do, we created this company to be able to do what we love every day and even on our days off, we are doing the same tours on our own.
We base all of our tours on our family experience, traveling together as a family since 1983 has built up a crazy amount of experience and knowledge of secret locations all over the South part of Iceland, some locations that only my family knows about still today. Creating tours that are well suitable to all level of fitness from families with young children to super adventures families or individuals.
On our journey from 1983 we have earned a well-spoken reputation as an outdoor family and known for seeking out the sports that were not as common, my father was one of the first ones to modify his jeeps and we are proud to be one of the first mountain bikers of Iceland and the only local MTB guides on the Hengill volcanic area, guides who grew up mountain biking and exploring the area on tracks made by the Icelandic sheep.
Today we offer a good selection of tours, ranging from two hours up to multi-day trips, and overnight camping tours focusing mostly on the off the beaten path experience. We can tailor made everything about the tour and set up the tour as you like, we could keep it more raw or have it quite luxurious and high class but still remote. We could keep the days more active or more easy going. It really depends on your choose, our aim is to enjoy the day with you.
Some of the things we offer:
Super jeep tours ● Mountain bike tours ● Hike tours ● Lava caving ● Surfing ● Team building ● food tasting ● Snowshoeing ● Sightseeing ● food tasting and culture tours ● zip line ● Skiing ● rock climbing ● camping ● Ice hockey ● Curling
Staff and guides: family members and close friends and we are all Icelandic :)
Locations: Iceland Activities family headquarters are located in Hveragerði, the Icelandic capital of hot springs. Hveragerði is 45 km east of the capital Reykjavík (30 minutes drive on highway 1).
Contact us and we will customize a tour for you, your friends or family. We specialize in having small groups and we never mix into big groups, so your experience will be better. When bigger groups book with us 6 persons or more then the tours are automatically private.

Iceland Activities fjölskyldan hefur sérstöðu á margan hátt er kemur að náttúru og útivist og ber þar fyrst að telja hversu langan tíma við höfum ferðast saman sem fjölskylda. Frá því að börnin voru ung voru þau tekinn með í allar ferðir, sama hversu krefjandi þær voru ,því má segja að börninn séu fædd útivistarfólk.
Hugmyndin að fyrirtækinu og að gera þetta að okkar aðalstarfi var lengi í gerjunn, því safnaðist upp gríðaleg reynsla samhliða því að vera alltaf að ferðast saman.Við erum eitt af fáum fyrirtækjum með það markmið að sinna fólki á öllum aldri. Þar sem við aðlögum hverja ferð að getu, áhuga og aldri þeirra sem ferðast með okkur. Og þá erum við ekki að velta því fyrir okkur hvort við komum heim einum klukkutímanu fyrr eða seinna. Okkar tími er ykkar tími!
Því fólk sem hefur lagt það á sig að heimsækja okkur, sumir um langan veg getur ávallt treyst því að þegar það kemur í ferð með okkur tjöldum við ávallt því besta sem til er hverju sinni og leiðsögumaðurinn sé Íslenskur og hluti af okkar fjölskyldu .
Enn eru nokkur ferðaþjónustu fyrirtæki rekinn í þessum anda á Íslandi S.S af hugsjón og eru lítil fjölskyldufyrirtæki. Við erum stolt af að vera í þeirra hópi og trúum því að þar liggja vaxtasprotar ferðaþjónustu á Íslandi í dag.
