Where else can you hike lava fields, traverse glaciers, crest volcanoes, soak in geothermal pools and stroll in the midnight sun? Only Iceland boasts so many contrasts, such wild and remote beauty and incredibly pristine nature. Drawing on three years of experience designing private Bespoke trips in Iceland, we have choreographed and refined a journey that allows us to explore this magnificent piece of geography up-close and in-depth. And, at the end of each day’s adventure, we’ll soak our feet and feed our Viking-sized appetites with fresh seafood pulled from unpolluted waters and lamb that feed on unfertilized fields, staples of Iceland’s entirely organic cuisine.

Tour Accommodations
Hotel Ranga, Hvolsvollur With a noticeable lack of timber in the country, Ranga was entirely constructed from imported Canadian lumber, from the walls to the furniture to the remarkable bar stools (watch out for them). With just 38 rooms, it is intimate and comfortable. The location sits at the mouth of the highlands with spectacular access to Hekla, one of the country’s most impressive volcanoes. This is remote Iceland at its best.
Hotel Glymur, Hvalfjörður Hotel Glymur overlooks the scenic Hvalfjörður, or "whale fjord." The stylish hotel is bedecked in original and innovative Icelandic artwork, with each of its 22 split-level rooms featuring modern décor, wireless internet access, flat screen TV, and a fancy Italian coffee machine.
Budir Country Hotel, Snaefellsnes Peninsula Completely rebuilt in 2002, this immaculate country-style hotel continues a long tradition of outstanding hospitality and exceptional cuisine. Budir has been hosting distinguished guests in its majestic and welcoming setting since 1948.
