Sustainable Travel Iceland

Eco-Friendly DMC Services

Iceland’s nature is spectacular, but it is also fragile. At DMC Iceland, we believe that great travel should not come at the cost of the environment. We are committed to sustainable tourism and responsible destination management. Whether you are planning a corporate incentive or a leisure group tour, we offer eco-friendly solutions that reduce your carbon footprint while maximizing your experience. Let us help you explore the Land of Fire and Ice responsibly.

Green Transport & Carbon Offsetting

Transportation is often the largest contributor to travel emissions. We strive to minimize this impact by prioritizing modern, fuel-efficient vehicles. For city transfers and shorter tours, we can arrange electric coaches and hybrid SUVs.

We also partner with local forestry projects to offer Carbon Offsetting options for your trip. We can calculate the emissions of your group’s ground travel and plant trees in Icelandic soil to neutralize the impact. This is a popular option for corporate groups with strict CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) goals, allowing you to certify your event as “Carbon Neutral.”

Supporting Local Communities

True sustainability is about more than just nature; it is about people. We strictly follow a “Shop Local” philosophy. We design itineraries that visit family-run guesthouses, small local museums, and authentic craft workshops rather than international chains.

Our culinary programs focus on Farm-to-Table dining. We select restaurants that source their ingredients—like Arctic char, lamb, and root vegetables—from nearby farmers. This not only reduces “food miles” and transport pollution but also ensures your money goes directly into the local Icelandic economy, supporting rural communities.

“Leave No Trace” Principles

Iceland’s moss and volcanic landscapes take decades to recover if damaged. All our guides and drivers are trained in strict Leave No Trace principles. We ensure that our groups stick to marked trails, respect wildlife, and never litter.

We actively avoid “over-tourism” by designing smart itineraries. Whenever possible, we take groups to hidden gems and off-the-beaten-path locations during off-peak hours. This provides a more exclusive experience for your clients while reducing the pressure on Iceland’s most popular tourist sites like the Golden Circle.
