Experience Iceland! Economic responsibilities
Local-powered trips
We aim to promote the smaller, local businesses in each community in order to provide the highest possible economic impact to that area.
Keeping our young talent
Where possible, we try to use companies that are owned and operated by young people who have returned to their rural hometowns after studying away for several years.
Environmental responsibilities
More bits, less paper
We minimise paper use at our office wherever is possible.
Reuse – Rejoice
Single-use plastic water bottles are not sold on our tours – we provide our customers with reusable bottles to reduce plastic waste.
Be clean
We make every effort to ensure that waste is never left behind on any of our trips.
Advices for you to enjoy Iceland now and later
Delicate Icelandic plant life is easily damaged by irresponsible tourism, and can take decades to recover. We advise our customers on how to minimise their environmental impact, so that they leave the environment as healthy and beautiful as they find it.
Travel safe and green
Glacial Experience aims to reduce fuel consumption where possible, and many cars that we use in our fleet are chosen for their fuel efficiency. However, this is balanced carefully against safety guidelines. Some travel around Iceland requires a little more caution and for this we do use larger, more capable cars.
Social responsibilities
Tailor-made itineraries
We work closely with our customers in order to create their personal itineraries. This allows us to advise them on the best times of year to visit areas, reducing tourism strain.
We love Iceland
We respect the local culture and always aim to be a part of it.
