Young Traveller Tour Packages in Iceland

If you’ve ever wanted to walk between tectonic plates, head to the amazing rift valley at Thingvellir, the only place in the world where you can do this. It’s also the place where the Vikings set up one of the oldest European parliaments as far back as 930. Thingvellir is part of the Golden Circle tour, which also includes the magnificent Gullfoss waterfall and the jaw-dropping geyser area, presenting dramatic evidence of volcanic forces that are elsewhere manifested in steam vents, boiling mud pools and lava formations, as well as the geothermal baths where Icelanders gather to socialise.

Iceland Guided Trips for Young Adults

Iceland is all about experiencing nature in many different guises. Guided active trips in Iceland take you trekking along fjords, across lava fields and over multi-coloured mountains, taking in spellbinding scenery all the way. There are kayaking opportunities in the spectacular Westfjords, plus options to take to the sea on whale-watching expeditions.

There’s plenty to enjoy in Reykjavik, too. Climb the tower of the central Hallgrimskirkja Church for incredible views over the city and beyond. Head to the city pond of Tjörnin, surrounded by elegant buildings, which becomes a skating rink in the winter. And when night falls, amble over to Laugavegur street, the centre of the city’s legendary nightlife.
