Hiking More than half of Iceland is over 400 m above sea level, and a large part of the island is covered by lava, glaciers, lakes and sand. Few places in Iceland have marked walking paths, but hiking is a favorite pastime for Icelanders and tourists alike. During winter these are mostly day tours or weekend tours, but longer tours are organized during summer. Many travel agencies also organize hiking tours during winter and summer alike. Golf All of Iceland's 45 golf courses are open to visitors.
Green fees are moderate.
Midnight Golf in Iceland Due to the Midnight Sun, it is possible to golf all night during the summer months. At the end of June, a 36-hole open international match is held. Tee-off is just before midnight and playing continues until the early hours of the morning. For further information please contact local tourist information centers and travel agencies. Sea Angling Sea angling is becoming a popular sport in Iceland.
