The journey through Iceland starts from Reykjavik, leading into breathtaking rural landscapes while sharing the tales of Iceland's first residents and their experiences with Viking invaders. Mythical icons, including Odin, Thor, and Loki, will also be discussed.

The initial notable site is Helgufoss, where a short hike unveils a beautiful waterfall. This is followed by an exploration of Icelandic culture, touching on Nobel laureates and traditional arts. The next destination, Vinaskógur, showcases one of the island’s last standing forests, before reaching Thingvellir, home to the world’s oldest parliament.

Thingvellir National Park comes next, renowned for its stunning hikes, fishing, snorkeling options, and the impressive Oxararfoss waterfall. Participants will also discover the phenomenon of the Aurora Borealis, along with the myths surrounding it, before encountering a legendary dwelling of a mythical being.

For those seeking relaxation, geothermal baths offer a serene retreat, providing an excellent way to unwind. Following this, participants will delve into one of Iceland’s most renowned sagas, filled with adventure and a blend of fact and fiction. A visit to a prominent geyser that is expected to erupt is also included, along with Gullfoss, a majestic waterfall over 100 feet tall.

Next, the tour continues to the Secret Lagoon, the oldest natural pool in Iceland, and features a distinctive restaurant located in a greenhouse.

The journey will also take travelers to Skálhol, a significant religious site established in 1106, and past Sólheimar Ecovillage, showcasing an innovative community model. The tour will conclude at the Kerid Crater, where guests will learn about Iceland’s fiery geological history.
