Description

It’s impossible not to fall in love with Iceland once you lay eyes on it for the first time, and nature enthusiasts, active hikers and shutterbugs will fall especially hard for this trip. This Local Living experience introduces you to the unique populace of this tiny island nation as they lead you around their exotic, volcano-forged homeland, dotted with hot springs, calving glaciers, crystal-clear rivers and crashing waterfalls. Active options include everything from snorkelling between tectonic plates and whale watching tours to whitewater canoeing trips and ATV excursions, so come prepared to do all sorts of everything.

Itinerary

Day 1-5 Drumbó (4B,4L,5D)

Tour the Golden Circle with visits to the Gullfoss Waterfall and the Geysir hot spring area on Day 1 en route to your home for five nights. Share a house on the site of an old farm close to a river and small forest. Complete with two fully equipped kitchens and close proximity to a big patio with a hot tub and sauna, the setting is a perfect homebase for your Iceland exploration.

Day 6 Reykjavik (1B)

Transfer back to the capital and enjoy a half-day cycling tour around town. Enjoy your final evening with the group.
