What's to get excited about!

This holiday will take you to Iceland, the island in the middle of the Atlantic, famous for it’s sublime landscapes, waterfalls and other worldliness.

This 10 night holiday will really give you the chance to experience this mythical island with the magical backdrop of the midnight sun.

We start our holiday staying in the typically Icelandic hotel called Englendingavik in Borgarnes, not far from Iceland’s capital Reykjavik. Here we will stay for 5 nights and take in the famous Golden Circle, (Thingvellir National park, Geysir hot springs, Gullfoss waterfalls) visit the capital and it’s iconic church, Hallsgrimskirkja and the whale museum as well as taking a pony ride around the lava fields. We will also travel to the Snaelfell peninsular, taking in the Snaefell Volcano, Ytri Tunga beach where seals live all year round and Kirkjufell waterfall.

It is then off to the north of Iceland to Akureyri, where we will explore the longest fjord in Iceland, Eyjafijordur, by land and sea as we head out on a whale watching safari, hoping to see the humpback whale in its peak summer feeding grounds.
