Iceland Explore Tours offer English and Chinese speaking tours. Other languages can be requested as well. We are a member of the Icelandic Tourist Board and hence a fully licensed travel agency and tour operator which allows us to book airfares, accommodation, tours and activities for our honorable tourists.
We are a small Icelandic / Chinese adventurous company but have a big heart. Our logo is small groups, big experience. We offer luxurious vehicles for our tourists to travel around Iceland. Our aim is to provide our tourists with personal service so that their travel in Iceland will be the most memorable and comfortable one. Our tours are all private ones tailored made for each group. We don´t operate regularly-run tours. Our drivers and guides have a wide range of experience and they will do their utter best to make our tours the most comfortable and unforgettable ones. Therefore we focus ourselves on private customized tours tailored for our tourists´ special needs. We offer tours of high quality.
We are a travel agency with an emphasis on Eco tourism and offer environmentally friendly trips in the amazing Icelandic nature. We would like to take a step forward to promoting sustainable tourism. The first step we do is to advise our tourists that we don´t usually provide a bottle of water per day for their travel in Iceland, simply because the tap water here in Iceland is no different than the bottled water. It comes from the same source, i.e. our beautiful glaciers, which means that the water from the tap is the glacier water itself, and after over 800 years of filtering through the lave fields, when it reaches our home it is super clean and purified ready to be consumed. Unlike other countries where their tap water is so of a worser quality than the bottled water, our tap water is as beautiful as the bottled water and it is free for everyone to consume!!! For that simple reason we advise our tourists to bring a reusable bottle when they travel to Iceland and refill their bottle again and again with our irresistible beautiful glacier water straight from the tap. Please do not feel offended if we don´t supply a bottle of water per day to our tourists. Knowing that the plastic bottles do a great harm to the environment, we believe that we are contributing to our environment by advising our tourists to refill this beautiful Icelandic water in a sustainable way. We will make sure that our tourists will get access to this beautiful glacier water as much as they like. Eco tourism is the future and we will do whatever we can to contribute to our lovely environment.
