Selected Departures October - April
You do not have to be Bear Grylls to enjoy a thrilling combination of a land born out of fire and a country almost entirely covered in ice. It is the subject of much mirth as to how the countries two names could be so mismatched. Iceland is a geological wonder where volcanos, geysirs and waterfalls erupt out of the ground in a kaleidoscope of colour. On the other hand, just 20% of Greenland peeks out from under the ice-cap which, as another colossal force of nature, sculpts this land to equal and dramatic effect.
07 June - 20th September
Explore Iceland – a land constantly emerging and changing. Boasting a plethora of dramatic natural wonders such as geysirs, Gullfoss waterfall and Thingvellir National Park (where the tectonic plates meet), all of which are sights to behold whatever the season. If this was not dramatic enough, this tour invites you to continue the adventure in Ilulissat, on the west coast of Greenland. Situated 300 km north of the Polar Circle it is home to a fascinating culture, spectacular dogsleding adventures, vivid Northern Light displays, all set against a simply stunning iceberg panorama.
March - April
Combine a short stay in Reykjavik, Iceland’s capital with an immersive experience at Deplar Farm, located in the Fljot Valley on the mountainous Troll Peninsula in Northern Iceland. Iceland’s unique geologic history has created an environment that is truly stunning. Mountains rise up from the sea along the fjords on the Troll Peninsula. The island is full of geothermal vents below the surface which form numerous hot springs throughout the country.
November to March
The Arctic Coast Way (Norðurstrandarleið) runs 800 km from Hvammstangi in the west to Bakkafjörður in the east, winding between 21 villages and four islands along Iceland’s north coast. The Arctic Coast Way is the first official touring route in Iceland for those who want to discover unspoiled landscapes and off-the-beaten-track adventure along the northern perimeter of the country. You will discover some of the best bird watching places in Iceland and boat tours will take you to unforgettable encounters with friendly whales and charming seals.
On this tour, you will combine a short stay in Iceland’s capital and then drive to Havammstangi where the Arctic Coast Way starts. You will then follow the coastline, stopping off at several points along the way and giving plenty of opportunities for exploring and wildlife watching, before flying back from Akureyri to the UK via Reykjavik.
