Iceland offers a great variety of tours, some covering large parts of the country, others small areas at a time.There are traditional tours as well as tours quite different from what can be experienced elsewhere.There are nature tours with striking landscapes, young lava fields, roaring waterfalls and majestic glacial ice-caps. In addition, there are organized day tours, and weekend and holiday tours all year round with Icelandic touring clubs where the emphasis ison hiking. Travelling into the uninhabited interior of Iceland is limited to the months of July and August, except for some specially organized winter tours (see section on opening of the mountain tracks).Winter tours in Iceland are unforgettable: there is skiing for both beginners and the experienced, glacier tours on snowmobile or snowcats, and ice-fishing.
