Company : G Adventures
Duration: 1 week to 1 week
Approx Costs: 2000 to 2500 £ Pound (UK)

There are few places on this planet as inspiring as the volcanic and temperamental landscape of Iceland – why restrict yourself to only one or two ways to see it when you could hike, bike, and kayak all over it?

How about a kayaking trip in central Iceland, cycling past geysers, and walking across volcanic rock? Once the adventure's done for the day, relax and let the adrenaline ease out of your system. Iceland is a geographical playground, and we take you on all the best rides.
