A geological giant, Iceland is where volcanoes rumble, glaciers groan and the scenery astounds

Tours in Iceland

Our Iceland trips conjure up images of huge waterfalls, glistening glaciers, spouting geysers and steaming hot pools. Reykjavik may be small but this beautiful city packs a punch and provides the perfect starting and end point for most of our Iceland tours. Outside the city lies a landscape that’s begging to be explored, with endless opportunities for trekking adventures.

Our trips to Iceland make for unforgettable holidays, with visits to the impressive Gullfoss and Godafoss waterfalls, Lake Myvatn and the Jokulsarlon Lagoon keeping you busy. In winter, you can experience snowshoeing through snow caked forests, ice climbing and an afternoon glacier exploration. Booking an Iceland trip is also one of the best chance for you to see the Northern Lights, and no holiday would be complete without immersing yourself in the steaming waters of the Blue Lagoon.

 Exodus’ Iceland tours also allow you to see glimpses of some of the most iconic Arctic wildlife, such as Musk ox and polar bears while hiking along the tundra, with opportunities for whale watching as we travel on small expedition vessels on our Under the Northern Lights trip. On our trips to Iceland, you can also see the continental drift at it’s best, in Thingvellir World Heritage Area, where you’ll find famous geysers, ice waterfalls and immense fissures around every corner on our Iceland Explorer.

If you’re keen to head on an epic exploration that encircles “The Land of the Midnight Sun”, our Circumnavigation of Iceland trip takes you around Iceland’s fabled golden circle where you’ll encounter vast colonies of seabirds including Atlantic puffins, kittiwakes, fulmars and more.

To experience endless summers, Exodus’ Iceland tours can also take you kayaking past towering ice floes and on an epic ATV tour that leads you towards an abandoned wreck of a US Navy plane nestled in black volcanic sand on our Eternal Summer in Iceland.

From its otherworldly geologic wonders to interesting arctic wildlife encounters our trips to Iceland don’t disappoint.

Iceland trips: Essential experiences


1. Explore the Big Country: While it’s not necessarily big in geographical terms, Iceland is massive when it comes to geological diversity and geographic features. The interior mainly consists of a plateau characterised by sand fields, mountains and glaciers, while many big glacial rivers stream to the sea through the lowlands. 

2. Bathe in the Blue Lagoon: After a hard day's mountaineering, there is no better place to relax and revitalise than in the warm mineral-rich hot springs of the Blue Lagoon. It's fed by heated seawater and surrounded by walls of black lava. 

3. Visit Skogafoss waterfall: At 60m high, Skogafoss is a white blanket of water cascading over the edge of the clifftop and crashing down to the river below. For an alternative view, you can walk right behind the waterfall – a compelling reminder of the power of the elements. 

4. Go whale watching: Trips to Iceland offer some amazing opportunities for whale watching, with the country's rich waters attracting a great diversity of species: killer whales, humpback whales, pilot whales and white-beaked dolphins, not to mention sperm, fin, minke and blue whales.
