Iceland's stark, pristine scenery has been shaped by fire and ice. More than 200 volcanoes and numerous glaciers form the country's landscape. It's a frozen land that's always letting off steam. Its U-shaped valleys, jagged lava fields, monstrous icecaps, hot springs and geysers have carved a rugged, bizarre landscape you won't see anywhere else on Earth.

About 80% of Iceland’s land is lava desert, glaciers or lakes – the only arable areas are on the coast. Despite its relative isolation and uncultivable terrain, Iceland has one of the highest standards of living in the world, with sky-high prices to match. Icelanders, like many islanders, are self-confident and reserved, but once you break the ice, so to speak, they are among the friendliest in the world.

This tour offers the scenic highlights of both south and north Iceland, with sightseeing excursions by motor coach to the island's most popular destinations. Optional excursions by Super Jeep are also available at an additional charge.
