Iceland’s natural beauty is unparalleled. Here are the best trips for the intrepid explorer.
Iceland’s landscapes are some of the most stunning in the world, and with the right guide (not to mention vehicle), the country is an explorer’s paradise. Perhaps the most popular adventure is a tour of the Golden Circle, a 186-mile loop in southern Iceland. The Pearl Tour ($450), led by Mountaineers of Iceland, takes you to the standard stops on the Golden Circle— Thingvellir National Park, the thermal waters at Geysir Hot Springs, and Gullfoss Waterfall—and includes a snowmobile journey across Langjökull Glacier, the second-largest glacier in the world. The company also offers a number of seasonal outings to catch the northern lights. The Top of the World tour ($655) also travels to Langjökull, where visitors ride snowmobiles through the dark, guided only by headlights—and the aurora borealis.
