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
The subsequent leg of your journey marks a significant milestone for those unfamiliar with glacier exploration. Experience the resounding crack of ancient ice as you go on a secure glacier hike led by a certified guide. 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.

The trip might have been the absolute best of our lifetime (thus far). We particularly want to commend our guide Peter in the Guilin area-he was so incredibly attentive, energetic, enthusiastic-and absolutely dedicated to ensuring that our meals were 100% vegetarian.

Our travel was flawless! The rider pickup (airport, hotel, ship) was seamless. Jane's recommendation for Emerald Cruise Sakara was everything I wanted but the experience was soooo much more. Adventure Life took care of each and every detail and this was the easiest of all my travels.

I spoke with at least a half dozen other travel companies, looking for a Galapagos cruise that fit our schedule and budget. Some companies could manage one or the other, but Erin was the only one who could do both. She found us the perfect cruise, at a fantastic price! And she has been quick and patient with responses to my many questions. So far, Adventure Life has been a fantastic company to work with!
