FAQs

  • London: Your Trip Manager will advise you on who you#ll share your room with. On this trip, you#ll stay in a multi-share room with other travellers of the same sex.
  • Reykjavik: The climate in this region is unpredictable due to its geographical location. In shoulder season (May, September, and October) you can expect temperatures to vary between single digits and warm sunny days, while from June until September temperatures can reach up to 25 C (77 F) during the day with July being the warmest month. During summer, Iceland also regularly experiences 24 hours of daylight, so you can truly make the most of your sightseeing!
  • Reykjavik: It is always a good idea to bring a warm windproof jacket. No matter which time of year you decide to travel, it can get quite cool at night especially outside of the cities, so we recommend that you bring a warm jacket or fleece. It is also recommended to bring along comfortable walking shoes, waterproof jacket & pants, sunscreen and a hat.
  • Reykjavik: Your trip offers an optional glacier hike and with the varied weather conditions of Iceland its essential you dress for the occasion. Please pack the following:  Hiking boots (if you do not have these, you are able to hire them from the Mountain Guides)  Waterproof jacket  Warm socks   Hat and gloves Warm trousers/pants (pack a waterproof outer layer if you have it) 
  • Reykjavik: The Northern Lights are more common during the winter months, when it gets darker earlier and the sky is clear and free of light pollution. The Northern Lights (AKA the Aurora Borealis) are a natural display of coloured lights in the night sky of the northern hemisphere. They#re a natural phenomenon, so it can never be guaranteed. But you#ll have a higher chance of seeing them the further up north you go. (Fingers crossed...) 
  • Reykjavik: The currency of Iceland is the Icelandic Krona (ISK). ATMs are readily available, and most places accept credit/debit cards. 

Included Experience

  • Reykjavik: Dine on a delicious dinner with your new found friends and toast the beginning of a wonderful adventure - the possibilities are endless!!
  • Midgard: Stay at this wonderful camp, decked out with a sauna. Plus, if you#re lucky, you might even catch the northern lights from while you#re warming up in the hot tub here!  There#s also a cosy communal area with board games.  
  • Geysir: Get your camera ready for this jumping geothermal wonder as we explore the heart of Iceland, Thingvellir National Park. And if you miss the photo op don#t worry. It#ll happen again in five minutes. Luckily! 
  • Midgard: After visiting the mighty Gullfoss waterfall, we#ll swing by a local dairy farm for a sweet little pit stop and the chance to try their freshly made ice cream. It#s a fun way to see a slice of Icelandic farm life (and why the dairy here is such a big deal).
  • Skaftafell: Get your camera reel a-ready for some of the weirdest and most wonderful waterfalls you'll have ever seen in your life!
  • Skaftafell: Walk the black sands on the world-famous Reynisfjara Beach and look out for the basalt pillars and unique rock formations on the coast.
  • Skaftafell: Marvel at canyons, volcanoes & glaciers on a drive through Kirkjubaejarklaustur, a beautiful rural town of just 500 people.
  • Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon: We ain't joking when we tell you that this lagoon will absolutely blow your mind. You have some time to take in the glacial scenery & check out the world-famous Diamond Beach.
