Iceland Geography School Trip

Day 1 Arrive in Iceland                    
On arrival into Reykjavik, meet your tour leader and start your adventure in the most northern country in Europe. First on your list will be Reykjanes Peninsula. Located on the drift zone, between two tectonic plates (North American and Eurasian) it offers many unique sights such as lava fields, mud pools, geysers and lava cliffs on the coast. In the afternoon continue to your accommodation to check-in and enjoy dinner at the hotel.                    

Day 2 Reykjanes and the South Coast    
After breakfast continue your Iceland adventure through the South Coast. Visit the numerous waterfalls that can be found in this part of the country, including the famous Skógafoss and Seljalandsfoss. The highlight of the day will be visiting Reynisfjara, the world-famous black sand beach, with its enormous basalt stacks towering in the roaring Atlantic sea. In the afternoon return to your hotel for a leisurely evening and dinner.

Day 3 Golden Circle                
This morning, head out to the most famous driving path of Iceland, the Golden Circle. Your first stop will be the Strokkur Geysir. With its powerful eruption of water that can go up to 30 meters in the air, it leaves a long lasting impression on anyone who has seen it. Afterwards continue to the powerful Gullfoss waterfall located on the Hvita River, before finally making a stop in Thingvellir National Park. Located on the rift between two tectonic plates, this sight has both historical and geographical importance for the people of Iceland. Finally arrive in the afternoon in Reykjavik, where you will embark on a short guided walking tour of the city.                    

Day 4 Return to the UK            
After a leisurely breakfast, the group will transfer back to the airport.
