Iceland Eco Tour

Your overseas adventure has begun as you travel to Reykjavik. As your plane descends, keep an eye out for Iceland’s diverse terrain of lava fields, glaciers, and hot springs — your new home for the next week! A local guide will wait to meet you at the airport and transfer you to your luxury resort. 

You have the rest of the afternoon to rest, unpack, and explore. Take a dip in the heated outside pool with views, walk into the quaint village, or drop by the hotel spa. In the evening, you will regroup with your guide to enjoy a buffet dinner, which is a great opportunity to get to know your guide who will be with you throughout your trip. 

Today is your first day to explore the rugged country of Iceland! Make your way to southern Iceland to arrive at the renowned Golden Circle, a sightseeing route to showcase Iceland’s breathtaking wonders. Stop by Gullfoss Waterfall to watch the roaring river soar off 500-foot cliffs. Next, you’ll arrive at Haukadalur to watch geysers burst into the air and feel their mist on your face. Enjoy a picnic lunch before arriving at Thingvellir National Park, a location of untouched beauty with ancient history. Learn about its history as being home to Iceland’s first parliamentary assembly. As you make your way back to your hotel, take in panoramic views of Iceland’s rugged majesty.

Saddle up for another adventurous day. You’ll start the morning at Viking Horses. Choose your favorite Icelandic horse for a four hour horseback riding experience. Did you know that this breed of horse was originally brought to the country via the Vikings? As you ride through Iceland’s spectacular terrain, absorb breathtaking views of mountains, lakes, and moors. Halfway through your ride, take a break for hot chocolate and smores by a campfire. Upon returning from your trek, enjoy a well-deserved late lunch at the equestrian’s restaurant.   

Today is all about relaxation and serenity. In the morning, you’ll be transported to the geothermal, healing waters of the Blue Lagoon. Put on your swimsuit for a soak in this mineral-rich, milky blue natural spa. Enjoy a glass of champagne with good company and try on algae face mask for silky, soft skin. After you have recharged in the warm water, make your way to a local restaurant for lunch. Following this, you’ll head back to your hotel.

You’ve experienced Iceland’s spectacular landscape; it’s about time you also experience its incredible wildlife. A luxury motor coach will pick you up to bring you out into the North Atlantic Ocean. Enjoy the salty sea smell and wind in your hair as you soar. If you ever need a snack, the indoor saloon is fully stocked. With the help of a guide, you will spot dolphin pods and breaching whales. There are over 20 kinds of whales known to frequent the area that you may see. Keep your eyes peeled for this unforgettable excursion! 

Another adventurous day awaits as you make your way to the Thrihnukagigur volcano. Hike along the craggy formations of the inactive volcano’s lava field. Admire volcanic cones and gas fissures before arriving at the rim of the crater. Harness in to an open cable elevator to descend into the site. View the inner surface of the volcano, where the light plays across a vast array of colors due to the magma that once flowed along its surface. Make your way back to Reykjavik for lunch and free time. Once dusk arrives, you’ll have the opportunity to experience one of nature’s greatest spectacles. Venture into Iceland’s dark countryside to catch a dazzling display of Northern Lights.

Time has flown by, and we have reached your final day in Iceland. Enjoy an early breakfast with your group and guides to reflect on your favorite moments of the trip, as well as what knowledge you will bring home with you. Following this, you’ll be transported to the local airport to head back to your country.
