Iceland is an amazing country filled with glaciers, waterfalls, and the beautiful North Atlantic.

We will be introduced to Iceland’s rich cultural history filled with the Saga’s, folklore (think trolls and elves), and tradition. Travelers will tour wool shops, eat Icelandic delicacies, including Skyr, lamb and, of course, delicious seafood.
