Iceland's Golden Circle short break

Planet

This small group adventure spends three nights in a low impact, yurt camp in the heart of Iceland's Golden Circle. Located close to Gullfoss Falls which is one of the countries busiest tourist sites, we make the most of being able to visit at quieter times of the day helping us avoid the crowds and really appreciate this beautiful natural wonder.

The camp is set on a working horse farm and our hosts, Asa and Hjalti give us a warm welcome and a real insight in to rural life in Iceland. The yurts are designed to compliment the surroundings, and not detract from Iceland's beautiful landscape. Materials left over from building the yurts have been up-cycled to make unique furniture including the large table and chairs in our dining yurt. The shower block has been created from an old shipping container and is kitted out with refillable toiletry bottles to reduce the need for single-use plastics.

Water in Iceland is excellent quality and we encourage all customers to carry a re-usable bottle with them and fill up during the day, avoiding the need for single-use plastic bottles.

As a travel company we are continually looking for ways to improve and are proud to be ‘Responsible in everything we do’. Education is key, and so all staff, Tour Leaders and partnering suppliers are trained in responsible and sustainable tourism. At our Head Office, we continually strive towards a sustainable and planet-friendly working environment, including having solar panels installed and a company commitment to reducing our plastic usage.
