Why Travel to Iceland with Pelorus?

Our unrivaled creativity and local expertise opens doors to a different side of Iceland, far from the crowds and beyond the unexpected.

Heli-ski to your private yacht, or ice climb across glaciers and explore ice tunnels guided by a scientist. Snowmobile to a glacier summit for a unique whiskey tasting on ice. Spend an unforgettable evening in a volcano crater with an expert volcanologist. Or experience Icelandic culture firsthand with a private Viking historian through an immersive sword-fighting encounter.

These are the extraordinary moments Pelorus can unlock, an Iceland you won’t find in any guidebook.

Watch the Total Solar Eclipse

On 12 August 2026, Iceland sits within the path of totality. While much of the attention is on Greenland, Iceland offers a different kind of experience. Stand on a secluded crater plateau with a meteorologist as the sky goes dark, or watch totality pass over open water from the deck of a private yacht. Both settings offer complete privacy and no crowds. Pelorus holds access to a very limited number of off-market properties and yachts for the date. Speak with a specialist to secure your place.

Adrenaline Playground

This adventure paired a coast-to-coast crossing of Iceland with expert off-road guidance, offering our clients the rare opportunity to traverse the island’s fire-and-ice terrain from south to north in rugged, purpose-built vehicles. From private transfers into remote mountain landscapes to snowmobile journeys into ice caves, every element was designed for adventure and discovery.

A Family adventure

For an unforgettable summer vacation, we pulled out all the stops for a family of 5. We arranged luxury pop-up accommodations in blue ice caves; a private helicopter tour of an active volcano; private barbecues on the beach; fly fishing at a remote lodge and access to a private house in the most beautiful parts of Iceland.

Summit to Sea heliskiing

Traveling by helicopter with Pelorus Aviation, guests moved seamlessly from remote summits to the edge of the North Atlantic, carving untouched lines with expert guides where mountains plunge directly into the sea. Runs finished on the shoreline itself, with a helicopter on constant standby to provide instant access to vast, world-class terrain throughout the day.

Our tri-lateral approach

Our expertise in Iceland spans land, sea and air.

Our in-house aviation and yachting teams mean your Iceland trip can span all three. Heli-ski to a private yacht anchored off the coast. Fly into a glacier and drive out through lava fields. Spend a night in a volcano crater, then board a yacht the following morning. Speak with a specialist to start planning.
