Slated to open this July, Highland Base sits deep in Iceland’s central highlands of Kerlingarfjöll. Here, you’ll find glacial rivers, steaming geothermal valleys, snow fields and panoramic vistas. Comprised of a hotel, lodges, hostel and camping accommodations, Highland Base will also include an on-site restaurant and new geothermal baths opening this October. While staying at the property, guests can enjoy direct access to hiking, biking and off-road adventures. Book the Highlands and Lowlands itinerary with Discover the World to see popular spots on Iceland’s Ring Road and stay at this new hotel.

Discover the World recently added an electric option on self-driving trip for this summer. With zero-emission car rentals, these trips use the country’s smart infrastructure of fast-charging points. With practically all of Iceland’s electricity generated from renewable sources, travelers can embark on a seven-night self-driving tour this summer.
