Just a three-hour flight from the UK and you can be discovering some of the world’s greatest natural wonders, a buzzing culture and gastronomy scene, and sleek, contemporary hotels.
With so much to see and do, creating a holiday to Iceland for yourself can be seriously daunting. Which is where our Travel Specialists can assist; putting together a tailormade itinerary centred around your Iceland wishlist, or inspiring you with a suggested tour. They’ll ensure every detail is taken care of, so you can relax safe in the knowledge that your Iceland holiday has been packaged to perfection!
Although a year-round destination, we find that most of our Iceland holiday clients travel with us to the volcanic island between October and March, when its most famous attraction is most likely to dance in the skies…the Northern Lights.
But aside from the draw of the aurora borealis, there are many other natural wonders to recommend Iceland too, like its waterfalls, glaciers and mighty rivers. In fact, our most popular tours of the country take in its most iconic natural sites, including Southern Iceland’s Golden Circle, the Vatnajokull Glacier and Skaftafell National Park.
What’s more, as it’s surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean you’ll discover exceptional fresh seafood on the menu at Iceland’s many restaurants, and a boat trip to watch whales play in the waves in the wild is a ‘must-do’.
Your Travel Specialist can inspire you further, but for more information on our Iceland holidays, you can browse our selected destinations and hotels.
