Tour Director: Ingibjörg Jónasdóttir

Iceland is the land of surreal opposites: raging volcanoes and majestic glaciers, hot springs, and icy waterfalls. Much of the country is still taking shape, right before the eyes of visitors, as its raw, dramatic landscapes are born from volcanic eruptions and carved out by glaciers. On the other hand, there are parts of Iceland that have hardly changed since the first Viking settlers saw them more than 1,100 years ago. This breathtakingly beautiful island offers both exhilarating adventures amid the moss-covered lava fields, volcanoes and ice fields and the understated sophistication of the Nordic cities of Reykjavik and Akureyri. Traveling in Iceland, we will experience some of the world's most dramatic landscapes and geological wonders. From spectacular thundering waterfalls to boiling mud fields and steaming fissures, visiting here allows for a glimpse into the process of the Earth's formation, like no other place in the world. We'll likely fall in love with Iceland's pristine beauty, exciting geothermal activity, its wealth of bird and marine life, as well as its Viking legacy and stunning contemporary design.

With the Geysers and Glaciers Icelandic adventure, we'll embark on a voyage of adventure and discovery. We'll experience the astonishing beauty and geological marvels of this surreal country which arouse both reverence and awe. We'll be rewarded with an unforgettable journey into the land of the midnight sun and bright nights of song and dance in the crisp polar air. We'll explore this fascinating country with an experienced local guide, who will help us appreciate the endless shades of the Icelandic culture, scenery, geology, history, and adventures. At the day's end, we will enjoy the hip and funky Icelandic cities, as well as the delicious Nordic cuisine prepared with the freshest possible naturally grown ingredients and cutting-edge, designer shopping.

  • We'll spend 5 nights at an upscale Scandinavian design hotel in the center of Reykjavik, followed by 3 nights in Akureyri's contemporary boutique Kea Hotel.
  • We'll enjoy daily excursions visiting the classic Icelandic sights: glaciers, volcanoes, geysers, waterfalls, hot springs, thermal pools, black sand beaches, and beautiful, surreal landscapes.
  • We'll ride the Icelandic Viking horse and the Golden Circle tour, as we discover Iceland's most spectacular natural wonders.
  • We'll indulge in a mineral spa experience at the Fontana Spa and the Blue Lagoon.
  • We'll explore the stunning waterfalls, volcanoes, pseudo craters, colorful rock formations, and the geothermal fields in the Lake Myvatn area.
  • We'll visit Iceland's northernmost town of Husavik and enjoy the Whale Watching Safari.
