About Us
Who We Are
Welcome to Basecamp Iceland—where unforgettable journeys across Iceland’s rugged beauty begin. Founded by a team of passionate explorers and Icelandic locals, we started this adventure-driven company to share the raw and magical landscapes of our homeland with the world. With years of experience in both travel and outdoor adventure, our team has the insider knowledge and deep connection to the land that makes each tour unique.
Whether it’s hiking across glaciers, bathing in hidden geothermal pools, or witnessing the Northern Lights in total solitude, we curate experiences that take you beyond the ordinary.
What We Do
At Basecamp Iceland, we specialize in multi-day, private tours tailored specifically for small groups, couples, solo travelers, and those seeking a more individualized experience. Our tours are designed for travelers who want to immerse themselves in Iceland’s beauty at their own pace and comfort level.
Unlike traditional tours, we believe in slow, meaningful travel. That’s why our itineraries are flexible and adaptive to the interests and abilities of each group. From off-the-beaten-path adventures to luxurious, scenic getaways, we provide an experience that is crafted just for you.
