The Land of Fire & Ice


The Land of Fire & Ice

April 13 - 18, 2023 | Maximum Group Size: 15 Participants | Availability: Open

Iceland, the Land of Fire and Ice is a country full of contrasts. From natural hot springs to top-notch spas, and spectacular scenery to art museums, this unique land is the perfect place to relax, recharge, and explore. Legends say that the ancient gods themselves guided Iceland’s first settler, Ingolfur Arnarson, to make his home in Reykjavik (“Smoky Bay”), named after the geothermal steam he saw. Today this geothermal energy heats homes and outdoor swimming pools throughout the city – a pollution-free energy source that leaves the air outstandingly fresh, clean, and clear.

On this exciting getaway, you will experience the best of both city life and the countryside. We will start in the capital city, Reykjavik, to sample the city’s vibrant culture and learn about the region’s Viking heritage. Reykjavik is also renowned as one of Europe’s hottest nightspots, where the action in the friendly pub and club scene lasts right through the long winter nights.

We then travel north, up the west coast, to spend two nights in the Icelandic countryside. Characterized by extinct (and sometimes active!) volcanoes and cascading waterfalls nearly everywhere you turn, the geological forces that created this extraordinary island are dramatically on display.

You will dine on Icelandic specialties, including delicious seafood, ocean-fresh from the morning’s catch, highland lamb, and unusual varieties of game. Bathe in the hot springs, and explore the natural wonders of Iceland on this adventure to the Land of Fire & Ice.
