Project Description

Iceland

Iceland boasts some of the great natural wonders of the world: active volcanoes, glaciers, black sand beaches, geysers and hot springs. Winter is a beautiful time of year to visit with the chance to see the amazing Aurora Borealis in the night sky. Your stay begins at the Blue Lagoon, a celebrated geothermal pool in a wonderful setting of black volcanic rocks, a perfect introduction to the country. The Hotel Ranga is an ideal location to see the Northern Lights. We’ll tour the south coast of Iceland including the famous Eyjafjallajökull volcano and the waterfalls of Seljalandsfoss and Skogafoss with visits to Solheimajökull and Reynishverfi beach. Not to be missed is the Golden Circle where the volcanic crater lake of Kerith and the spouting hot spring Geysir at nearby Strokkur are found.
