Trip Overview
Is this trip for me? UNIQUE. MIND-BLOWING. QUIRKY.
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.

Reykjavík including the Blue Lagoon
2Bucket-lister alert – we’re heading to the legendary Blue Lagoon today. Think: milky-blue geothermal pools that look like something George Lucas made up. Grab your towel and thongs (for your feet), do your Viking call and make a run for the steamy thermal pools. Bliss. You’ll have plenty of time to soak, swim, lather your complimentary mud mask and indulge in a bevvie from the swim-up bar – before we return to the city for an afternoon of free time. Need some suggestions? Check out the Saga Museum, National Museum of Iceland or Phallological Museum (for something a bit...different). Immerse yourself in the magic of Iceland’s unique landscapes at Perlan. Head to Álfaskólin and get your diploma in magical creatures (no bullsh*t). Or head out on a foodie tour that’s more than a little unusual. Fermented shark, anyone? Then: don your thermals and practice those panos – we’re on a mission to see the illusive Northern Lights. Visibility can’t be guaranteed (obvs), but if you do catch them – you’ll be winning at life. Cue: alll the goosebumps.

Reykjavík including the Golden Circle
3Another day, another mind-blowing included activity – we’re off to explore the Golden Circle. 300 kilometres of phenomenal Icelandic landscapes. Natural wonders don’t get any better than this. Trust us. We’ll check out the roaring Gullfoss Falls. ‘Holy sh*t’ our way around the Great Geysir. And soak up all the amazingness at UNESCO World Heritage-listed Thingvellir National Park. SD cards full and tummies rumbling – it’s time to hunt down Bæjarins Beztu Pylsur for the world’s best hotdog (as voted by Bill Clinton). Or go authentic with some street food – traditional sheep soup and fish stew are a must. Then? Download ‘appyhour’, locate Lebowski Bar and hit the d-floor with your trip mates. It’s our last night together, so make it a good one.

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.

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