Trace your way along the Golden Circle, stopping in at the Silfra Fissure, Strokkur Geyser and more, before seeing iconic sights like Seljalandsfoss and Skogafoss waterfalls on your way to the seaside town of Vik.

Why you'll love this trip
  • Embark on a journey to Iceland and experience its magic in any season – whether that’s soaking up the midnight sun or searching for the Northern Lights!
  • Take in a few of Iceland’s most iconic views on your way to Snaefellsness, then get to know Iceland horses at your farm stay.
  • Get the hottest tickets in town and learn all about volcanos complete with real flowing lava at the award-winning Lava Show in Vik.
  • There's a lot more to Iceland than ice and vikings. Follow the scenic 'Golden Circle', visiting geothermal springs and geysers, the mighty waterfall of Gullfoss and the site of the nation's first parliament at Thingvellir.
  • Learn why Iceland is known as the land of the sagas as you hear tall tales of elves and trolls and make your very own Skrimsli (an Icelandic wool monster).

Is this trip right for you?
  • The extremity of the weather makes for incredible scenery, but it also means Iceland can be very cold, especially at the start and end of the season and at night. Please bring appropriate clothing for adverse weather conditions. On the rare occasions your leader must alter the itinerary due to the weather which can cause roads being blocked, sites closure etc. Your leader will discuss the necessary changes and alternatives where possible.
  • In order to access the best of what Iceland has to offer, a few long drives are in order. This is a great opportunity to enjoy the scenery and spend some time getting to know the other members of your group.
  • A remote location and high-performing currency are just two reasons Iceland can be an expensive destination. This affects things like museum entrance fees and outdoor activities, but is especially noticeable when eating out. Your leader will be able to advise on how to save money, but it's a good idea to buy snacks from the supermarket.
