OUR MISSION
Pink Iceland strives to be the country’s foremost travel agent, tour operator, event and wedding planner for LGBTQI travelers. Our goal is to always offer an exemplary service, treating our guests with the utmost respect while offering a good quality product.
Pink Iceland has clear policies regarding its responsibilities to environmental and humanitarian issues. These are reflected in the services on offer and the general attitude of the company’s owners and staff.
Pink Iceland is, and will remain a beautiful, vibrant, fun and caring place of work where both owners and staff ambitiously work towards offering outstanding services to its guests
HONESTY POLICY
Pink Iceland is a privately owned company and as such it needs to make a profit. This profit pays the salaries of its staff, the rent, the wonderful and informative Pink Iceland website not to mention copious amounts of coffee for the owners. Most of Pink Iceland's money is made through commissions. This is how it works: If our guests let us book their tours, activities, and accommodation we collect a small (usually 10-15%) commission of the price. This basically means that you pay the same price, regardless of whether you book directly - or through us. You may think this might cause us to recommend really expensive accommodation and tours. Not so. We promise to do our utmost to come up with a plan that suits you, and your budget. We would never recommend anything without full confidence and/or personal experience of what's on offer. Our primary goal is working with and for the LGBTQI community and without the community's support or goodwill we wouldn't have lasted six months in the business. It is not least through word of mouth that we grow stronger every day. Our hope is that after reading this you too will ask for our recommendations and advice and/or book your holiday through us.

Take a Walk on the Ice Side
A glacier walk is a great way to experience Icelandic nature and a tour to Sólheimajökull glacier tongue is an ideal way to spend the day. On the two-hour drive from Reykjavík, you will pass right under the famous Eyjafjallajökull volcano that caused so much trouble in the spring of 2010. Just east of the volcano lies Sólheimajökull, an outlet glacier from Mýrdalsjökull, Iceland’s fourth-largest glacier. There, you will go on a safe and easy glacier walk on crampons up onto the ice field. As the wonderland of ice sculptures, ridges, and deep crevasses is explored, you will learn more and more about these disappearing giants.
Experienced mountain guides will teach you how to use basic glacier equipment necessary for this tour. On the way back there will be a stop at the picturesque waterfalls, Skógafoss and Seljalandsfoss.
Walk through Ice and Fire
A tour that combines two of Iceland’s natural highlights, hot springs and glaciers! This day tour starts at Hengill geothermal area, located at the foot of an old volcanic cone. There, you will take an easy hike past a series of beautiful hot springs to Reykjadalur valley where you can enjoy a nature bath in a beautiful warm stream. Next we head towards the two waterfalls, Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss, taking you right past the Eyjafjallajökull volcano. Then on to the wonders of the Sólheimajökull glacier where a short and easy glacier walk between ice sculptures, ridges, and deep crevasses will complete your day. A tour that offers both magnificent nature and beautiful scenery!
Depending on accessibility to Reykjadalur over the coldest winter months, a visit to the hot springs of Grændalur Valley is equally beautiful, but without the bath.
