A cinematic landscape (think Narnia) with massive glaciers, bubbling mud holes, and rainbow-laden waterfalls coupled with supreme bird life and a sun that never sets for six weeks of the year are but a few of the reasons to join Odysseys Unlimited’s 11-day Exploring Iceland small group tour.
Odysseys Unlimited is inviting travelers to discover the Nordic Nirvana on its popular tour that visits sophisticated Reykjavik and unpronounceable, under-visited beauty spots including the Snaefellsnes Peninsula, Lake Myvatn, and Glacial River Canyon National Park.
Adding to the drama and allure of Iceland’s raw beauty are its world-renowned waterfalls. Odysseys Unlimited guests can stand in the glory and the spray of Godafoss, “waterfall of the gods;” Dettifoss, Europe’s most powerful waterfall and Iceland’s “Niagara;” Gullfoss, the “golden waterfall;” Seljalandfoss, Iceland’s most visited; and Skogafoss, known for its rainbows on sunny days.
Other small group tour highlights include a visit to the Icelandic breed horse farm and a bird-watching cruise to Puffin Island where guests can expect to see thousands of seasonal seabirds including puffins, black guillemots, fulmars and Arctic terns.
Limited to 12 to 24 guests, Odysseys Unlimited’s 11-day Exploring Iceland is priced from $3,798 total price from Boston, New York and Washington, DC. ($3,395 air and land inclusive plus $403 airline taxes and departure fees). Air is offered from many other US cities for a slightly higher price.
