Hot springs and frozen plateaus. Mountain villages and sustainable living. The Eyjafjallajökull volcano and the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. The Golden Circle Tour gives an insight into man’s ability to harness nature, taking in Iceland’s most esteemed landmarks; the South Shore Tour embraces rural and village life, whilst appreciating Iceland’s most natural landscapes and stunning landforms.

Set off on the Golden Circle Tour to experience the Hellisheidi plateau and study sustainable energy at the second largest geothermal power station in the world. Walk through the hot springs at Hveragerdi and the Golden Waterfall at Gullfoss. Stand on the crest of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and discover the site of the world's oldest democratic parliament. Travel to the capital of Iceland and investigate how Reykjavik’s successful economy runs entirely on green energy.

Choose the South Shore Tour to drive over the Hellisheidi mountain pass and see how Hveragerdi harnesses the sun’s rays in its hundreds of greenhouses. Experience rural village life as you visit Icelandic farmlands, and contemplate the interaction of the human and natural worlds when you see the notorious Eyjafjallajökull volcano. Return to Reykjavik, passing plunging cliffs and sparking glaciers.

Two of Iceland’s best-loved adventures, whether you choose the South Shore Tour or the Golden Tour, students will be stunned by the country’s powerful landscapes and feats of human ingenuity. With a choice of hotels in either the centre or outskirts of Reykjavik, school groups have easy access to the wealth of curriculum opportunities here, as well as being at a convenient starting point for both tours.
