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.
