One Day Geography Programmes (Countryside Based)

There is a very wide variety of Day Itineraries that we can offer. The following list is by no means exhaustive, but it gives an idea of how wonderfully varied each day can be.
Of course, by talking directly with us, we can suggest many other terrific day itineraries; please just make contact.
By locating your group in a more rural area, away from Reykjavík city, a more Icelandic experience can be obtained. The accommodations offer more outside space for informal evening recreation and, in the late autumn, winter and early spring seasons, where better to see the Northern Lights (just outside your door!).
