Fly overnight to Reykjavík. Once you land, your orientation will officially begin with some of our favorite icebreakers and “get to know you” activities.

Known as ‘smoky bay’ for its natural geysers and geothermal springs, Reykjavík is the northernmost capital of the world and is increasingly well-known for its culture, art, history, and natural beauty. Climb through the Raufarhólshellir lava tubes, relax in a famous Blue Lagoon, raft the Hvítá River and explore Þingvellir National Park, a UNESCO world heritage site. The capital is our base to explore the world’s most magnificent waterfalls, bubbling geysers, black sand beaches and hot springs. It is no surprise that people from around the world flock to the capital and the surrounding areas of the Golden Circle and South Coast to experience these natural wonders.

South Coast
How many rainbows will you spot at Skógafoss and Seljalandsfoss Waterfalls? The natural wonder this program offers continues as you walk by puffins on the Reynisfjara black sand beach. Put on crampons and, with an axe in hand, head up the Sólheimajökull Glacier for a Mountaineering Experience.

Snæfellsnes Peninsula in West Iceland is often referred to as mini Iceland for its dramatic scenery and stunning landscape packed into a 55-mile long surface boasting sheer sea cliffs, mountain peaks, lava fields, volcanic craters, and dramatic glaciers. You’ll hike Eldborg crater, which offers stunning views of Ljósufjöll volcanic system, otherwise known as the mountains of light. Sail from a charming harbor village on a Viking sushi tour. Observe the seal colony at Ytri-Tunga Beach, marvel at the Gerðuberg basalt columns, and walk the awe-inspiring coastal path from Malarrif to Þufubjarg.

Akureyri is on Eyjafjörður, Iceland’s longest and most magnificent fjord, embraced by white tipped mountains, stunning waterfalls and lush countryside. It is the second largest city in Iceland with 18,000 residents and considered the “capital of the north”. Encounter humpback whales and spot white-beaked dolphins as you set out on a whale watching tour. Take a day trip to hike Lake Mýtvan, check out the Námaskarð Geothermal Area and hike from the Dimmuborgir Lava Rock Formation to top of Hverfjall Crater. Visit Goðafoss, one of the most beautiful waterfalls in the country.

Return to Reykjavik for a final day of exploration and fun with your new friends before heading home.

Say farewell to your new friends as you part ways for your return home. The summer might be over, but all the memories you’ve made will last a lifetime!
