Trip overview

TRIP VIBE = iconic sights and in-depth adventures with a local Trip Leader.

Hope you’ve packed your spacesuit – this eight-day orbit is about to transport you to another world. Blast off in Reykjavík and discover Iceland’s star attractions: glowing geothermal pools, gobsmacking glaciers and WOW-worthy waterfalls. Then delve deeper into the fascinating folklore, magical myths and traditional treats this one-of-a-kind country has to offer. Ready to REALLY explore the Land of Fire and Ice? We have lift off!

Worth noting…

On this trip, you’ll get two in one – your Trip Leader is also your Driver.

Fact: Iceland is mind-blowing. But it’s also rain, snow and wind-blowing. Occasionally, the itinerary may change due to weather conditions. DW – your Trip Leader always has a back-up plan.

Trip itinerary

  1. Reykjavík (Iceland)

    1

    Gobsmacking scenery. Richer-than-rich culture. Bucket-list topping activities. Plus all the weird, whacky and wonderful in between – welcome to Iceland. With these out-of-this-world landscapes, you might as well have landed on the moon. Dump your stuff at the hotel and say halló to your fellow explorers. We may be a mixed bunch but we’re in this together – like it was meant to be. Then? We’ll head to a local haunt to kick things off with an included dinner and tasting (of the local Icelandic beer variety). This is gonna be good.

    This trip is absolutely amazing! Had the best time. With the 24 hours of sunlight you can really make use of the day. This trip covers so many different things from whale watching, exploring waterfalls, walking on glaciers to relaxing in hot springs. Our tour guide Thor went absolutely above and beyond for us. 12/10 stars for Thor ⭐️

    The accomodation was also great. Much better than I expected...

    Had a great time in Iceland!

He was also very flexible with our schedule and managed to...

    What a trip!! So much jam packed in just over one week. Anyone on the fence about seeing Iceland should bite the bullet and do it. Such an amazing country, with diverse landscapes and add on activities within this trip to complement these. Our glacier hike was one of the most incredible things I’ve ever done. Thor was an incredible guide/driver (doubly talented) and gave us really good cultural...
