Who’s up for a snowkiting trip to Iceland?
We hope you guys don’t mind us posting on your forum, but we want to invite you to join us for a little snowkiting trip we run each year in Iceland. If you like the snow and you’re into kiting it’s probably your kind of adventure. We’ve got ultra-steady glacial winds, wild volcanic landscapes, jacked up superjeeps, luxury timber cabins, geothermal hot-tubs, knowledgeable guides, home cooked food and 24 hour daylight.
Next trip: 18th to the 25th May 2012 (or stay a bit longer and party downtown in Reykjavik too)
We have a video from the last trip on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XTu4scE7byY
If you want to find out more we have a facebook page and a website:

Please feel free to get in touch if you’d like some info, or just add a like to our Facebook page,

Last Summer I was looking at trip to Iceland ........ Iceland Express offered RT tickets from NY for $400 including taxes.....

I'd hear ads in various media how Iceland promotes a lot of very affordable tourism for different seasons (trying to convince younger guys that it's a "party place to be!").

Sounds fun to me. Charter a DC10 and head up. What are they doing with Queen Polosy's 727?

i want to go, theres just one small issue--im deathly afraid of flying--last time i was on a plane taking off, i screamed and everybody looked at me--i died of embarrasment...... maybe i should do some dramamine or something...... i dont know how you can ride a kite buggy overpowered with your life flashing before your eyes, wreck, and get up laughing, and be afraid of flying, yet i am......

making plans for 2013--cmon people, the clock is ticking!!!

g00fba11 - 14-1-2012 at 09:22 PM

I think I am going to have to make plans to get a trip in...... the more I look into this...... the more it beckons me.....

about $850 round trip from Minneapolis but it looks like it is a non stop flight......

all's that is needed is a passport..... no visa required.....

got to research baggage fees, weights and limitations......
