Testimonials

From Chris

All,

Just a quick email to say thank you so much for your help in organising the trip to Iceland. It was, not to put to fine a point on it, SPECTACULAR. Everything that could have happened did – a mountain rescue, an amazing hotel, a meal of whale meat and puffin at Lækjarbrekka, cocktail fun at Orange and a light poaching at the Blue Lagoon. And to round it all off: an Icelandic psychic on the plane home who gave everyone “dream pebbles”. Seriously. The whole thing still feels faintly surreal and dream-like, to be honest.

But the best bit? The dive. Was just utterly, utterly incredible. Not that you can tell from these pics, but this is me but this is me at Þingvellir - 40m down in glacial water with 100m visibility:

It was one of the highlights of my life. Seriously. Genuinely awe-inspiringly beautiful. Hedinn was a superb dive master, and gave me all the help and encouragement I needed. And with the our great jeep story as well (thanks to our guide Ragi – a really great guy), I think it’s going to make a great piece.

So thank you so much for your help organising it – everything worked like clockwork, and we both had an amazing time. I’ll be in touch nearer the time when we start laying out the feature, but until then, thanks again..

1000 Rivers Road - Mountain Biking Day Trip From Reykjavík

Mountain biking adventure tour on the 100 River Road and Reykjadalur Valley in the Hengill Area

 Trip difficulty 3 out of 5 possible. Rated: Challenging

We start this amazing mountain bike trip from the geothermal power plant Hellisheiðarvirkjun and head up the mountain towards the 1000 rivers road. We will pass several geothermal power holes and see the intricate technology Iceland uses to heat its houses in an environmentally friendly manner. The 100 rivers road is properly named since we will cross the river many times as we pedal towards the famous Reykjadalur (Steam valley). Down there hot water rushes down the slopes of the mountain range and creates the ideal place to relax in an untouched natural hot stream. The valley also has an amazing abundance of geothermal springs and you will witness every thing from small gurgling melting pots to vibrant super heated pools of water. After strolling along these wonder of nature we ride all the way back down into the town of Hveragerði.
