Alpine Iceland Adventure

Iceland is a land of fire and ice, but beyond the waterfalls and volcanoes lies an alpine world of glaciers, valleys, and trails waiting to be explored. This Privada journey takes you deep into the country’s highlands, where steaming hot springs bubble beside rhyolite mountains and black-sand deserts stretch to the horizon. With private guides leading the way, you’ll hike iconic routes like the Laugavegur Trail, cruise among drifting icebergs in Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon, and soak in geothermal pools beneath the midnight sun. Each evening, retreat to stylish design hotels and countryside lodges that pair Iceland’s raw wilderness with modern comfort. It’s adventure elevated: wild days on the trail, cozy nights by the fire, and a deeper connection to the elements that make this island so extraordinary.
