A word from our travel specialist
I’m from Iceland myself and spent my childhood summers camping everywhere, and I mean everywhere.
There’s something magical about how the landscape changes with the light, and no two days are ever the same. Iceland’s landscape is full of surprising contrasts, you can bathe in a warm river, hike on a glacier and watch the midnight sun all in one day. Iceland has this raw, wild energy that pulls you in. In my opinion it’s the best place on earth to disconnect and soak in nature, and I love sharing that feeling with others.

Endless Possibilities Await
Iceland is bursting with natural wonders from active volcanoes, glaciers, huge waterfalls, lava fields, geysers, thermal pools, and the opportunity to see the majestic Aurora Borealis.
Straddling the mid-Atlantic ridge, Iceland is very geologically active which in turn creates some of the most striking scenery in the world.
The magnificence of the island is not just limited to the scenery. Wildlife such as whales can be spotted off the coast, Puffins make their visits in the Summer months, and in the West fjords, you might spot arctic fox – making it the perfect destination for nature lovers.
Places To Explore In Iceland

Unique Stays
Not all the Icelandic hotels are unique like their Nordic counterparts but sometimes it is all about what you might be able to see out the window – it is not too often you get to spend the night with a giant sleeping volcano-like Katla looking over you or be on a secluded beach overlooking a church and the most stunning views from the Snaefelsnes Peninsula.

Shared Experiences
From Our Customers
Amy was a great help with planning this trip. Our trip turned out amazing. I also was very grateful for Off the Map’s Front Desk service, which promptly handled an on the spot issue we had.
Karen
We originally hired Off the Map Travel in 2020 to set up a trip to see the Northern Lights. That didn’t happen, thanks to COVID. But, we persisted and in March of 2023, we took a 16-day trip that included both Iceland and Norway. IT WAS MAGICAL! Off the Map took care of everything! We were pampered at every stage of our trip. The people they hired and the activities they planned added up to a trip that will set the standard for any we’ll ever take in the future. Alex and his team were fabulous! We recommend them without restraint!
Jim & Kris
The best travel experience ever on every level you can think of during a Lapland expedition (food, activities, timings, accommodation, transport, service, equipment…). I highly recommend Off The Map Travel for their outstanding level of professionalism and detail oriented mindset!
Sophie & Guy
Off the Map Travel was great! Alex helped us plan the most amazing 10 day honeymoon to Iceland. He gave us great recommendations and was so patient with us during the planning process!
Tori
I used OTMT to organise a holiday to see the Northern Lights for my partner’s 50th birthday. They took the time to understand my priorities, the kinds of places we like to stay and the things we like to do. They recommended a fabulous itinerary in Norway centred around the Lyngen Experience Lodge. The holiday itself lived up to expectations and I have no hesitation in recommending OTMT. They listened carefully during the planning and delivered the perfect present for my partner.
Alex
I would thoroughly recommend this company. Their planning and advice was spot on. Alex responded to my calls and emails very promptly. I will definitely use them again for future trips.
