Your average adventure seekers are constantly researching and trying to find their next adrenaline raising experience.

Adventure holidays for adrenaline junkies come in a variety of guises and today we want to talk to you about one of our favourite adventure holidays, the totally action packed Viking Challenge.

Now first up we need to make sure you are here to hear about the same Viking Challenge we have in mind, Iceland’s Viking Challenge. So if you are after Leicestershire’s off road cycling race or a 5K Wilderness Mud Run in Minnesota USA we’re afraid you’re out of luck here!

Ok so now we have established which Viking Challenge we are talking about let’s take a look in to why the Viking Challenge should at least be considered as your next white knuckle holiday.

First up, getting to Iceland, flights are regularly available from London Heathrow Airport for those of you residing in the south of England and for those in the north Manchester Airport will be your most likely departure point. Flights will take you in to Keflavik airport from which you will then be transferred in to Reykjavik ...
... to your hotel.

Accommodation is dependent on your tour operator but for the most part you will likely spend a full 6 nights staying in Iceland’s delightful capital of Reykjavik. Upon booking your Viking Challenge most operators will offer you a range of potential accommodation varying on cost and specifications so that you can find the right fit.

The Viking Challenge is quite possibly Scandinavia’s most varied adventure holiday taking in 6 days and around a dozen events/ challenges and excursions, let’s go through a few –
White Water Rafting – you will spend around 2 hours traversing one of Iceland’s glacial rivers taking in deep gorges and thrilling rapids.

Glacier Hiking & Ice Climbing – Exactly what it says, take in the splendid scenery of Southern Iceland including the Skógafoss Waterfall. These walks are obviously guided and generally included lunch.

ATV Ride – Ever fancied going to the moon but not a big fan of “flying”? Well if you engage your imagination you will come pretty close top that other worldly feeling as your ride around the volcanic Reykjanes peninsula and Iceland’s famous Mid-Atlantic Ridge.

Hiking Challenge – This is where you go out on your own and spend 3-4 hours hiking in to the mountainous volcanic landscape of Southwest Iceland.

Hopefully all which we have just mentioned will be enough to satisfy the cravings of the majority of adrenaline junkies out there. For further details on what The Viking Challenge entails exactly you are best to research reputable providers of this excursion and consult them on what options are available to you.
