ABOUT

‘Iceland Academy’, is a new online tool to help visitors understand the best of Icelandic culture and etiquette, how to stay safe on their travels, as well as its beautiful nature. A variety of classes are covered by a panel of experts and local ‘tutors’, highlighting the topics that tourists ask for advice on most, as well as those that they may not think to enquire about. The academy aims to help tourists be more informed, ensuring a happy and meaningful experience, whilst raising their awareness about how to travel in a safe and responsible way.

The online academy, now open via the Inspired By Iceland website, will see a series of video tutorials released, offering a fun short course of advice and insider knowledge on a variety of aspects of Icelandic culture; from explaining hot tub etiquette and local food sustainability, to glacier safety and explaining why tourists should never mess with the local’s treasured Icelandic moss.
