Additional Information

We initiate this exclusive expedition with a rare feature - the Bridge Between Continents, a landmark that spans the geological gap between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates. Iceland is the sole global location where one can clearly observe this divide between the plates.

After transitioning between continents, our journey proceeds to the geothermal hot mud springs, Gunnuhver - an enchanting wonder of nature. Situated nearby is Icelandā€™s oldest beacon, which weā€™ll have the pleasure to view up close during our cliffside trek, truly engaging with the oceanā€™s formidable strength.

Our subsequent destination is the community of GrindavĆ­k. Here, a meal of either lobster or lamb soup will be served, and weā€™ll take a brief excursion to the neighbouring Blue Lagoon for some photographic memories. Next, we navigate the southern coastline, marvelling at the stunning landscapes en route. Our return to Reykjavik includes passing through the township of HafnarfjƶrĆ°ur, notable for its Viking and elfin folklore.
