Westfjords, Iceland, © Natural Habitat Adventures
For such a small country, Iceland is big when it comes to natural wonders. Glaciers and geysers, hot springs and waterfalls, basalt pillars and black sand beaches, frigid fjords and flowing lava … Iceland has all these and more.
Natural Habitat Adventures has created an 11-day tour of this small country that straddles the Artic Circle. On the most sparsely populated country in Europe, you’ll be outnumbered by whales, seals, and puffins while you are on private boat excursions. Inland, you’ll walk atop raw terrain born of fiery volcanoes and sculpted by ice.
Natural Habitat Adventures is offering this unique tour of Iceland on two different departure dates in both 2016 and 2017.
