Our 2020 and 2021 voyages of discovery continue to Ísafjörður via the country’s western fjords: keep binoculars at the ready for the thrilling tell-tale spout from a blowhole – these are prime whale-watching waters. A choice of excursions on your Iceland tour provides the opportunity to gain a valuable insight into the culture and history of this mountainous region. Visit the charming Flateyri fishing village (which became a major whaling center in the 19th century) where time seems to have paused, or explore the town of Ísafjörður itself and discover more about life through the centuries. At the open-air maritime museum of Osvor, a weathered fisherman will show guests the fascinating 19th-century fishing base within, while a chance to see the crystal-clear waters of the Buna River and Waterfall in Tunguskógur is not to be missed...

The world’s most northern capital city of Reykjavík makes a fascinating finale to your Iceland holiday. Here, you’ll be greeted by a mass of brightly coloured corrugated iron roofs – just one of the charming sights to enjoy here in the greenest of global cities – along with its vibrant shopping and culinary scene. On our breathtaking Golden Circle excursion, you can drink in the views of waterfalls and the spouting geysers along with a wealth of other natural beauty and geothermal wonders close by. These include the dramatic landscape of Thingvellir (Þingvellir) National Park – Iceland’s only UNESCO World Heritage Site – where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates meet; the majestic Gullfoss Waterfall; and not least, the geothermal area of Geysir where you can watch the spectacular geyser Strokkur shoot out a 75-foot-high column of hot water every few minutes.
