Activity Iceland is an outdoor activity driven tour operator and travel agency where nature plays a key role. We recognize the effect our operations and services may have on the natural environment. As a consequence of this, we are committed to conducting our business in an environmentally responsible manner to minimize the negative environmental impact caused by our operation and to ensure the responsible and sustainable use of all environmental resources used by the company.
Responsible Traveling & Social responsibility
As an outdoor activity operator, we know that we are obligated to treat nature with respect and conserve the environment to the best of our ability. Consistent monitoring practices of operations allows us to address environmental issues in areas such as sorting and reducing the amount of garbage being produced within the company, not wasting water and other resources, reducing air pollution, saving energy, protecting the environment, being mindful of our social responsibility and selecting suppliers according to their performance in environmental issues. We travel in small groups, buy local service to stimulate local economies and inform our customers about responsible traveling and the importance of environmental protection and teaching respect for nature at all times.
