Guides holidays and girlguiding tours to Iceland - Venture Abroad

Iceland has become one of Europe’s hottest destinations. A short plane journey lands you in Reykjavik where your journey of a lifetime will begin. Stunning scenery awaits you and you cannot help but be mesmerised by the thundering rivers, lava flows and spectacular glaciers.

Take a dip in the warm waters of the Blue Lagoon, watch the whales off the Icelandic Coast (seasonal), go pony trekking through the spectacular countryside and be in awe of Mother Earth on The Golden Circle Tour when you can see where the world is split into two. Experience the powerful cascading waterfalls and standby as geysers erupt before your very eyes.
