Waterfalls, Geysers and Snowmobiling
Our first day in Iceland has been left free for you to choose from a variety of exciting trips. One favourite optional activity is a tour of the region's natural wonders, including the towering waterfall of Gullfoss and Geysir, the spouting hot spring after which all others are named. Alternatively, if the snow is suitable, how about a snowmobile ride up in the hills (instruction and crash helmets are both provided). In the summer months you may choose instead to go on a whale watching trip from Reykjavik harbour.


Thorsmork & the Northern Lights
The following day, we head off in outrageous 'Superjeeps' (complete with huge tyres and satellite navigation) from the capital Reykjavik on a wild ride into the valley of Thorsmork - a landscape of glacial moraine and lakes crackling with ice. On the return leg we drive across lava fields and in the winter months, weather permitting, we may view the dazzling light show of the 'Aurora Borealis'. Finally we round off our adventure with a dip in the Blue Lagoon: bathtime will never be the same again...
