Imagine starting your day with a soak in a geothermal hot spring. After a breakfast of fresh fruits and berries and delicious, yogurt-like skyr, you head off to explore Iceland's south coast, stopping at seaside villages, black sand beaches, and the photogenic glacier lagoon Jökulsárlón. After a lunch of freshly caught fish, you head to Europe's largest glacier, where you board a 4x4 jeep to journey along the snow and ice, reaching a peak where you can go trekking on foot, under the close watch of an experienced guide. You end your day with a meal of lobster and free range Icelandic lamb, and a spectacular display of the Northern Lights as you relax in the evening at your hotel. This is just one of hundreds of possible agendas for your incentive tour or conference in Iceland. "Your Host in Iceland is one of the country's most trusted desti- nation management companies (DMCs). Our friendly, experi- enced team can help you create an unforgettable conference or incentive event using the endless possibilities that Iceland pro- vides" From snowmobiling on a glacier and then soaking in a thermal spring, to white water rafting followed by a horseback riding trip along black sand beaches, we can help create an agenda that is filled with once-in -a-lifetime experiences your clients will never forget.
