Iceland Adventure Photos

I recently came back from 1.5 weeks traveling around Iceland, an extremely beautiful country. You can view a few snaps on Facebook and read more about the trip below.

I went with a company called Founders Excursions who organized a trip of 14 like-minded entrepreneurs from Iceland and USA, to travel through Iceland doing adventurous activities while networking at the same time.

Highlights of the Trip

• Canyoning (climbing and swimming up waterfalls, then floating back down)
• Super jeeping (4×4 driving through the Landmannalaugar mountains)
• Enjoying bonfires, beers and Icelandic BBQ
• Having tea & coffee at the US Embassy
• Driving through the back country & around the glaciers / volcanoes
• Viewing the Northern Lights
• Speed boating & exploring Vestmannaeyjar Islands
• Swimming at the Blue Lagoon (Geothermal spa), one of National Geographic’s Seven Wonders of the World
• Taking in the glorious Jökulsárlón (Glacier Lagoon – where the lake’s glaciers go out to sea)
• Bathing in the natural geo thermal springs while the mountains surrounded us
• Participating in the steintökin (strong man competition). Needless to say, I am no Viking!
• Having my shoes stolen on the first day at a public pool (Yup!)
• Enjoying the “Bæjarins beztu pylsur” (best-in-town Icelandic hotdogs). Can’t say much about the Harðfiskur (wind dried fish). Also loved the Skyr (drinkable yogurt).
• Overall, just enjoying the beautiful, peaceful Icelandic scenery.

If interested in a similar experience get in contact with our awesome guide, Siggi from South Iceland Adventure or Matt Wilson from Founders Excursions. I’d highly recommend it!
