Intrepid Iceland is your inspirational guide to discovering the most engaging and unique experiences from across the country, for first-timers and returning travellers alike. Whether it's an introduction to the country, or a chance to explore new places and experiences, this guide is not just a checklist of things to do, but instead offers insight into the tapestry of things that make Iceland amazing - majestic volcanic landscapes, vibrant cities and villages, unique cuisine, rich culture and history and once-in-a-lifetime nature experiences.

Immerse yourself in the beauty of the Icelandic landscape by visiting its lakes and waterfalls, hike its peaks and explore its historic turf houses. Participate in Reykjavik Pride and catch a game of swamp soccer. Dare yourself to go glacial river rafting, or try viking sushi in Breidafjordur Bay. Learn lessons from Djupivogur, Iceland's first designated slow city, or help out at the puffin rescue centre on the Westmann Islands.

All done with an eye to sustainability, to celebrate the planet and protect its unique environments, and making ethical choices that give back to the local makers and communities.
