This 9-day Small Group Tour through Iceland takes you along the South Coast and Golden Circle to see black sand beaches, take an awe inspiring glacier hike, soak in geothermal hotpools, and visit waterfalls. And it's not just about Iceland's landscape wonders, but its people and culture. Taste homemade skyr at a dairy farm, ride a horse through the countryside, and learn about how the local startup community is transforming the fishing industry and keeping it sustainable for generation to come.
We offer the flexibility of either a spring or fall departure for this tour. Join us in the spring to experience the midnight sun, puffins, and lambing season. Or, opt for a fall departure to see the Northern lights in autumn.
