Of course, a day in Iceland is not complete without seeing some beautiful waterfalls. Enjoy the benefits of this activity in the most relaxing way possible, by soaking in the waters of Krauma baths (West Iceland’s answer to the Blue Lagoon) where you can also indulge in the sauna and hot tubs. Journey to the geothermally active area of Deilartunguhver, Europe’s largest and most powerful hot spring. It is a majestic setting and it will be evident why many Icelandic sagas were set here. Start off in the old fishing town of Borgarnes, the gateway to Snaefellsness.

You will then begin your Golden Circle tour at Geysir, the area which gave geysers their name. It’s no wonder the LAVA Centre is our most popular activity in all our destinations. There are many things to do and exhibits to interact with including earthquake simulators, innovative displays of tectonic plates and more.

You’ll learn about life in close proximity to volcanoes like Katla, and witness an incredible molten lava display as it rolls over a huge block of ice. Your next stop on this busy day is a visit to the black beaches of Reynishfjara where geology and geography students can marvel at the tall basalt columns formed after volcanic eruptions. You and your students will strap on your helmets and crampons and take to the ice to see the giant glacier up close as your experienced guides explain how the glacier is changing.

One of the trips most memorable activities will be the glacier walk at Solheimajokull. Students can even fill their water bottles with fresh water from the River Skoga after visiting the waterfall. The next waterfall you will visit is the famous Skogafoss which is a staple of any Iceland school trip. Students can follow the pathway behind the curtain of water (warning: you will get wet!) and have the opportunity to take some photos. You’ll then hop back aboard the coach for your next stop at Seljalandsfoss, one of Iceland’s most beautiful waterfalls. This town is a great geography case study of a changing place as the people of Hveragerdi take advantage of their geothermal setting for warmth and tourism. The second day of your trip will begin by seeing life outside of the city centre in the town of Hveragerdi.
