What kind of adventurous activities will we get to do?
Our Iceland trips are action-packed! You can expect to hike on a glacier with crampons and an ice axe, snorkel between tectonic plates in the Silfra Fissure, explore black sand beaches and dramatic basalt columns, and ride the unique, five-gaited Icelandic horses. We also go on a whale watching tour to spot humpbacks and dolphins, and experience the unique Viking Sushi Boat Cruise where fresh scallops and sea urchin are pulled straight from the sea for a truly local taste adventure.

Is Iceland very cold, and what should I pack for the weather?
Iceland’s weather is famous for being unpredictable, often described as experiencing all four seasons in one day! The name “Iceland” is misleading; temperatures in summer are quite mild (45 -60 degrees Fahrenheit). The key to packing is layering. You will need thermal base layers, a warm fleece or sweater, a waterproof and windproof jacket, and sturdy, waterproof hiking boots. Don’t forget a swimsuit for the hot springs! A comprehensive, detailed packing list will be provided to all registered participants well in advance of the trip, so you know exactly what to bring for maximum comfort and preparation.
