  2. Blue Lagoon is the largest natural geothermally warm water in Iceland and is also one of the top places to attract many tourists. The bay is located on part of a volcanic lava field on the Grindavík Reykjanes peninsula, Southwest of Iceland. The warm water bay is supplied by water from geothermal power plants and is changed twice a day. Warm water erupts from the ground near lava flows and is used to power turbines that generate electricity. After passing through the turbines, steam and hot water will pass through a heat exchanger to provide heat for the hot water heating system. After that, the water is brought into the bay for visitors to bathe and soak for treatment.


    Blue Lagoon Resort is as beautiful as its name because of its natural, fanciful space and captivating beauty. After the incident caused lava to flow into the river, causing the water to turn turquoise. This place has turned into a giant spa and attracted millions of visitors.


    Surrounding the lake are majestic mountains, embracing the lake in its heart. The jade-green water blends with the color of the sky, the color of the snow, along with the faint smoke creating a scene like being lost in a fairyland. In the evening, when the electric lights are turned on together with the night sky, this place becomes even more sparkling and wonderful. A hot bath in the Blue Lagoon is good for your health. Water contains many minerals, especially Silica and Sulfur, which relax the body, relax the mind, and are beneficial in the treatment and prevention of skin diseases. What could be better than to relax, heal and enjoy in a beautiful natural resort spa like this.

  3. In the capital Reykjavik, there are many horse-riding tours for visitors with prices ranging from $60 to $90. One of the island's most popular horse attractions is the Sólvangur Center, about 40 minutes south of the capital. This is a professional horse farm, providing visitors with sightseeing services, and learning to ride horses. These activities are suitable for everyone including solo travelers, small groups, and families with young children.


    The connection between wild horses and the natural landscape of Iceland is a marvel. Horses in Iceland are not only tall and gentle but also have the outstanding feature of being able to gallop very well on rough roads and fields. They are healthy and have a long life. The horses here are different from any other horse breed found around the world, both in characteristics and abilities. They will take visitors across frozen glaciers or endless plains to enjoy the scenery here because they are the only horse breed that can perform a variety of movements, including walking, jogging, galloping, and not touching the ground.


    Horse-riding is a sport activity, sightseeing, and the calm but majestic beauty of the horses in Iceland will also make visitors admire it. They also reflect a resilient, strong, indomitable, but very approachable and kind personality like the people here.

  4. The waters surrounding Iceland are cold, with a rich source of marine life all year round. This is the main food source of wildlife in Iceland, especially in the summer, when the water warms up, life proliferates, and the food source for animals becomes more and more abundant. The period from June to July every year is an ideal time for visitors to see humpback whales, spear-nosed whales, white-billed dolphins, and many other interesting creatures. If we are lucky, we can also witness blue whales, a beautiful and rare animal. The acrobatics, surfacing, and high jumps give visitors a spectacular performance. Seeing it with your own eyes will bring more excitement than any movie or voiceover. Witnessing these massive creatures in their natural environment is a different perspective than seeing them in an aquarium or sanctuary. Whale watching excursions are widely available widely around the country.


    However, it is advisable to choose eco-friendly tours if you intend to watch whales. Because tourists' boats when going to the middle of the sea can emit a lot of emissions, along with the engine causing noise pollution, affecting the marine ecosystem. Whales prefer calm waters, and they will also be more friendly if we do not disturb their inherent habitat. In addition, a boat tour offers the chance to see other amazing ecosystems such as seabirds in their feeding grounds including puffins, gannets, gulls, and arctic terns. Whale watching excursions are widely available across the country. Daily tours depart from the Old Harbour in Reykjavík, as well as from several towns in the West and North of Iceland.

  5. Located just outside the Arctic Circle, Iceland is a small island nation surrounded by a vast ocean. Iceland offers a wonderful diving experience for those brave enough to endure its icy waters. Famous for its volcanic beaches, massive glaciers, and iceberg lakes, diving in Iceland exposes visitors to a diverse and rich subsurface landscape. This ecosystem seems to have formed for tens of millions of years.


    Iceland is one of the few places in the world that can directly experience the subsurface thermal geology, and the beauty of some of the island's freshwater sites is breathtaking. Diving is equally fascinating, with cold water sites and an abundance of North Atlantic species that most divers won't encounter before. Like a submarine, visitors can slowly sink underwater.

    The Silfra Rift, located in Thingvellir National Park in Iceland, is one of the great attractions for scuba diving enthusiasts. Because the Silfra Rift is one of the most special places in the world. Here, visitors in the role of divers can enjoy crystal clear water, with a view of up to 100m.

  6. Reykjavik, the capital of Iceland, is considered one of the best places to see the aurora borealis in the world. It will be best if you can once patiently see the entire Aurora in sight. Like a flexible "Green Lady" in each of her tunes, the aurora always radiates magical transformational energy, shimmering in the cold night. Aurora appears in just a few hours in many different forms. From clouds of scattered light to bands of light, arcs, and ripples with ecstatic sparkles. The aurora has many different colors such as blue, red, yellow, green, blue, pink, purple, etc - depending on the chemical composition of the atmosphere to which it is exposed. Iceland is known as a country of ice and lack of sunlight, but it has a majestic beauty. That covers the whole space which makes anyone who has come here admire it.


    Coming to Iceland is one of the most interesting experiences for us to embark on the journey to hunt for the Northern Lights. This place is known as a place where Aurora lights often appear with a high KP index. Because Iceland has both the lowest winter temperature (e.g.in the capital Reykjavik, on the coldest days only up to -15 degrees), as well as the area with the third strongest wind area in the world, causing the clouds to change. That has allowed Aurora to appear more and more clearly. September in Iceland is the best month to see the Northern Lights. The nights get longer, the weather is not too cold and the sun is often hot. And in March, although the winter snow is still long, when the spring equinox begins to appear, the sun's activity also begins to increase, which is also the best time to capture the Northern Lights in Iceland.
