Tour Pricing Info
Iceland is a land of stark beauty which varies from volcanic mountains to gorgeous beaches.
This photo tour of Iceland will expose you to the best of what Iceland has to offer in a compact and simple trip. We'll start in Reykjavik and travel the Ring Road and see amazing landscapes, Skaftafell Nature Reserve, considered so beautiful and important to the country’s heritage that it was once its own National Park before the greater Vatnajökull National Park enveloped it. Here, we will find a concentration of the features that make Iceland so internationally famous: glacier tongues and lagoons, mountains and volcanoes, lava-fields and forests. We'll continue on to Ice Caves (if weather permits), Skaftafell, Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon, Fjallsárlón lagoon, the Diamond Beach, Mount Vestrahorn, the Eastfjords, Lake Myvatn, the mountains of the Tröllskagi Peninsula, the waters of Eyjafjörður, the Diamond Circle route, namely Goðafoss and Aldeyjarfoss waterfalls, and so much more.
