In this exciting tour, you will discover glaciers, waterfalls and geysers and relax in the warm waters of the Blue Lagoon. You will also have the opportunity to ride snowmobiles across the ice, or take a tour in a jeep across the lava fields (all year round). In summer months you will have the chance to go on a boat tour and search for whales, and in the winter, you may see the northern lights.

Tipping is voluntary, but is expected in this part of the world for workers in the tourism industry, such as your bus driver and restaurant staff. If you wish to tip your tour guide it would undoubtedly be appreciated.
You must have travel insurance to travel on our tours. You can arrange for this yourself, or buy it through our company.
You can either book a flight with us or arrange your own flights. If you choose the latter, you will have to make your own way to the hotel, details of which will be sent to you in advance.
