Volcano Views
Witness the stunning landscapes while traversing southern Iceland's fertile farmlands and quaint villages. This region is steeped in Viking lore and history and overseen by the notorious Eyjafjallajökull and Hekla volcanoes. On days with clear skies, you can enjoy magnificent views of these iconic volcanoes and the Westman Islands along the coast.
Glacier Hike & Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach

Following the glacier adventure, proceed to Reynisfjara, where you can leisurely wander along the renowned black sand beach, famed for its distinctive basalt columns and caves. Observe the Reynisdrangar cliffs and basalt formations emerging from the sea, which, in Icelandic folklore, are said to be trolls petrified by the dawn's light.
Skogafoss Waterfall
The day tour concludes with a visit to the magnificent Skógafoss Waterfall. Approach the towering 60-meter waterfall closely and experience the mist on your face. Ascend the 527 steps for a panoramic view of the waterfall's cascade and the rainbows it creates.

Everything was amazing! The planning with Adventure Life went smoothly. The actual trip was fantastic! One of the best trips I have experienced. The cruise staff members were knowledgeable and attentive. I will be writing more about this on the blog!

We loved the experience of travelling on a small boat with 28 other passengers. The itinerary was excellent, usually including two stops per day at different Croatian islands and only 2-3 hours of sailing. Each of the stops were beautiful; the islands were all unique and memorable and no two stops were the same.

Amazing assistance! Kevin and his team were so helpful and really gave us great advice. They quickly understood exactly what we were looking for and within a matter of days we had booked our holiday of a lifetime. I would definitely recommend to others.

I was on a trip to the UK while arranging another trip for next year. Was able to work with email and a short call to secure our spot on a tall ship cruise. Good company to work with so far.

I think it was very helpful that Franny and I spoke on the phone. I think she had a better idea of what we were looking for, and she planned a great itinerary for us!
