Tour Overview
Glaciers to geysers, waterfalls to woodlands, Reykjavík and back. Join us as we circle this remarkable island nation, beginning and ending in its charming capital. Our Iceland tours take in the strange geothermal landscape of Námaskarð, bubbling with sulphuric mud springs, and the epic beauty of the enormous Vatnajokull glacier and the surrounding Vatnajokull National Park. At Thingvellir we stand, thrillingly, at the exact point where two tectonic plates meet. There's also time to tour Reykjavík, with its cosy cafes, mountain views and striking concert hall.
