The invigorating climate, surreal colouring and
pollution-free environment make this an unforgettable holiday.
Geologically unique, Iceland is a place of spectacular scenery, with volcanic
fires suddenly unleashed from beneath great glaciers. We stay at friendly
guesthouses, summer hotels and on farms.Godafoss, Gullfoss & Geysir
At Godafoss and Gullfoss are two of Iceland's most famous waterfalls.
Majestic Gullfoss, the 'Golden Waterfall', plunges into a 50m deep gorge.
We'll stop to see the Great Geysir, the world's largest 'gusher'. Its
eruptions have been unpredictable of late, but nearby Strokkur spouts
at regular 5-10 minute intervals.
Skaftafell & Lake Myvatn
The wild Skaftafell region is great walking country. You can follow marked
paths to Svartifoss (Black Waterfall), which cascades over pillars of
dark basalt. One highlight is an exhilarating boat trip on an ice-filled
glacial lagoon. Driving via the spectacular Dettifoss Falls to Lake Myvatn
- a paradise for birdwatchers - we explore the lake's environs on foot.
Rare birds, normally too shy to be seen, preen themselves right in front
of your camera. The astounding geology is like an open book on earth history!
