Iceland Tours

Iceland punches well above its weight when it comes to natural wonders. Our suggestions for Iceland tours read like the index of a geography textbook, and our experts can tailor-make your holiday to feature the best of its geographical gems. Nicknamed the ‘land of fire and ice’, Iceland’s scenery ranges from colourful lava fields and striking volcanoes, to black sand beaches and shimmering glaciers. Most Iceland tours begin in Reykjavík, the world’s most northerly capital, with its trendy hotels, vibrant nightlife and eclectic dining scene. Take a guided tour of the city’s intriguing museums and galleries, stopping to sample some unusual local specialties (fermented shark anyone?). Renting a car can be your golden ticket to the country’s far-flung masterpieces and hitting the open roads will allow you to witness even more of the island nation’s unspoiled landscapes. Carefully sculpted by the elements, Iceland’s rugged wilderness is almost other-worldly and its position between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates means that the topography is ever-changing. In fact, the country continues to grow around two inches every year. The Golden Circle plays host to some of Iceland’s standouts, including Thingvellir National Park, Geysir geothermal area and Gullfoss Falls. The former was also the site of the world’s oldest and longest-running parliament, proving that Iceland tours are just as much about the country’s history as its geography. With forces of nature leading the way here, if you’re lucky you might even be treated to the elusive show of the Northern Lights during your stay. Read more
