Westward Ho! - Iceland Excursions
19. júní 2013
This year, for the first time, it is possible to travel all the way to the westernmost tip of Iceland in a day trip that encompasses history, geology, myth, legend and thrilling sights. The Westfjords are an oft-neglected spot on the tourists‘ map though those who have visited it have written rave reviews about it. This tour takes you to Europe‘s furthest point, a dramatic region where cliffs higher than the Eiffel Tower plunge vertically down to the rough Atlantic seas.
Látrabjarg – Home to birds
These massive, sheer cliffs are the home of thousands of birds, their nests clinging precariously to the craggy rocks. It‘s a sight bird-lovers have, in the past, been willing to endure arduous treks to reach, for the reward of the spectacular sight from the cliffs‘ edge. The birds are unafraid of humans, who can get within a couple of metres of them, without disturbing their busy lifestyles.
By the Harbor in Keflavik - Duus Café
15. júní 2013
You could take a walk by the seaside and harbour of Keflavik, following a great meal in Duus Café at either the very start or end of your journey to Iceland. Perhaps the unique element of visiting Iceland is the interrelation of everything; here, you’re only five minutes from the international airport yet you can find an authentic seaside experience. This warm restaurant is located right by Keflavik’s small boat harbour, the very heart of the town. Thus, the view from Duus is inspiring, even hypnotizing; while eating your meal and enjoying your drink the sea outside will have your full attention. Originally a small restaurant, it now hosts over 200 people and is a favourite with the locals. The owner, Sigurbjörn built the house and its interiors all by himself, little by little over the last fifteen years. Sigurbjörn, like many other Icelanders, does not limit himself to one profession; apart from running a restaurant, he is educated as a carpenter. That certainly comes in handy when one wants to built a restaurant using wood!
Connecting Two Pearls
11. júní 2013
It might be tempting to just make a short stop at the famous Blue Lagoon on the way to or from the airport, but that would be ignoring the incredible beauty and natural phenomena just around the corner that made the famous lagoon possible to begin with. The tranquil nearby fishing town of Grindavík has close ties Blue Lagoon that have now been strengthened even further with a brand new walking path that connects the two with a beautiful 4 km walk. The new path, which is ecofriendly and blends with its surroundings, passes through foreign-looking lava fields, beautiful forested areas and the foothills of the impressive Þorbjörn mountain.
Icelandic Smiles

In today’s sugar-fed society, our teeth take a battering and very often it shows. Many modern food habits are harmful to our teeth and can lead to unsightly fillings. That’s not to mention all the problems that arise with gum diseases and with teeth being discoloured, uneven or crooked. However, modern dentistry has progressed to not only keep pace with the problems but to help resolve them better than at any time in the past.
Iceland as a Health Tourism location
In recent years, Icelanders have become aware of the health treasures they have in their hands and Iceland is fast becoming one of the world’s hottest health tourism spots. With highly trained professional specialists and a currency that was recently devalued, it has become an economical way to get treatments which could be prohibitively expensive in other countries.
