HIDDEN ICELAND IN THE NEWS

Hidden Iceland In the News page was created as a thank you to all the media outlets who shared our story in the past few years. These news and blog posts cover travel, sustainability, hidden gems and off the beaten path travel. Even the odd video is in there too.

You’ll have to click on each image to read the whole story.  However, we’ve included a few of our favourite quotes from each article for interest if you just want to browse. Because Hidden Iceland have been featured in well over 100 different media sources online it would be too difficult to include all of them here.

Therefore, this In the News page highlights some notable ones; from Conde Nast Traveler to USA Today to Forbes and Al Jazeera to name but a few.

If you are in the media and are interested in writing about Hidden Iceland please get in touch. You can learn more about Hidden Iceland in the About Us Page. Please contact our Marketing Manager and co-owner directly ryan@hiddeniceland.is.

In the past we have worked with major news outlets, bloggers, videographers, photographers, influencers and traditional journalists. We love to work with everyone if it’s the right fit for both of us.

As we approached the top, we were met with various ice formations, artfully sculpted by the hands of the glacier. The unique crevasses, arches, and caves we encountered held an unearthly presence, and I could not shake the feeling that I had somehow stepped onto another planet.

How You Can Work With Hidden Iceland

As you can see from Hidden Iceland’s In The News links we have created an experience that is not quite like the rest. As a result, we have gained hundreds of 5 star reviews on TripAdvisor and an army of advocates from past customers. Therefore, traditional marketing has been thrown out the window when it comes to our strategy.

Consequently, we rely heavily on word of mouth, wonderful online reviews and working with journalists to share our story. While we love to invite journalists and other media types to Iceland we are also more than happy to provide content/ images if you are simply writing a piece on Iceland from a far. Getting the inside scoop from the locals can really add an extra element to your piece.
