Iceland Explorer

Up to off this trip

Trip Overview

As the completely unoriginal trip name suggests, this one is pretty straight forward.

You've got four days, some sick inclusions, free time to explore and a bunch of people as stoked to be in Iceland as you are. By day, you'll be splashing about in geothermal pools, exploring the seriously cool capital of the North or filling your SD card with far too many landscape photos of the Golden Circle. By night, it's all about beer tasting, an interesting selection of traditional eats (trust us, don't ask), a mission to see the elusive Northern Lights and WILD nightlife. If you really want to do Iceland, this trip is it.

Welcome to the land of fire and ice! Trust us – with landscapes like this, Iceland might as well be on the moon. You’ll have to tear your eyes away from the scenery for now though, ‘cos you’ve got a date with your Trip Leader and fellow Topdeckers to get to! Make your own way to the hotel, then get ready to schmooze. Tonight, a nightlife tour of Reykjavík and a beer tasting session are on the cards. What better way to start the trip than with a bang?

OMG – we’re off to the legendary Blue Lagoon today! This place sounds like something from a Disney film and looks like something from outer space. The natural geothermal pools here are full of warm water – and today you’ll have the chance to swim around in them. In winter. Outside. Iceland, we love you. As if life couldn’t get any better, wait until tonight. What’s happening tonight, you ask? Only a mission to see the otherworldly Northern Lights! Visibility can’t be guaranteed, but if you manage to nail that shot you’ll pretty much win at photography forever.

Today we’ll swap natural wonders for city life with a free day in über-cool Reykjavík. Check out the views from the Hallgrímskirkja church, then hit up the half-submerged City Hall and grab a coffee with half of your body underwater. Surreal, huh? If you're a nature lover, don't miss the optional Golden Circle tour – this baby packs 300 kilometres of awesome Icelandic landscapes. See also: the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Thingvellir National Park. Come nightfall, you can look forward to loads of foodie options. Anyone for smoked sheep head or rotten shark? No? Don’t worry – the world’s best hot dog stand is here for you if you’re not feeling adventurous. Oh, and one more thing: the best nightlife starts late. Like, midnight. Ready to bust some moves?

It was a really good trip. Wondering trip leader and included activities. Best part was the Golden Circle optional extra for me. The Blue Lagoon was also great and super relaxing. The tour gives you a quick look at Iceland but there isn't enough time to do everything. Wish we had a couple more days so we could have gone to the Ice Caves and Glaciers.

Great activities and time period, only downside was having to pay extra for the golden circle tour

Seems a bit pricey for what you get but still a good time.
