Head out on the famed Golden Circle, starting with the spectacular Thingvellir National Park, a meeting place of old Icelandic clans.

Savor lunch in the greenhouse of Fridheimar Tomato Farm. Then it's on to the Strokkur Geyser, which erupts every 10 minutes. Stop at Gullfoss Waterfall, one of Iceland's most popular sights; with two separate drops, it's the one of the most spectacular waterfalls in the world. Move on to your simple but beautifully-situated rural hotel below the Hekla volcano where you'll enjoy dinner with your group. (B, L, D)
Visit the LAVA Center to learn about Iceland's volcanoes, and how their eruptions and lava flows have shaped the country over time.

Despite the Weather

I loved the country. The people, the landscape, the waterfalls and volcanos. The history is interesting. The glaciers and black sand beaches are beautiful. The geothermal spas are a treat.

Have been in 40 countries, and Iceland is the differentest place I've seen.

4 of the 4½ days this trip lasted were top notch. Good itinerary, nice hotels and meals. Leader was a neat guy, but he made a couple of boo-boos at the end.
