Iceland is the ultimate playground for adventurers, and it’s a scenic wonderland for more casual travellers, too. Steaming thermal fields, jaw-dropping waterfalls, and monstrous glaciers are only some of the natural spectacles you’ll find there—not to mention the culture, cuisine, communities, and capital city that all contribute to Iceland’s allure.
With its vast wilderness, rich heritage, and endless opportunities for exploration, Iceland can be someone’s perfect destination for a small group tour. At Collette, this means travelling with no more than 24 travellers and enjoying a number of benefits along the way.
Picture this: boundless expanses of untamed land without a town in sight, framed by glaciers and mountain peaks in the distance. It sounds wondrous (and it is), but these more remote areas might be intimidating to navigate on your own. When you go to Iceland with a small group, transportation is taken care of for you, so you can relax and admire the view. Plus, you won’t have to worry about the sneaky speed cameras dotting the roads!
When you go on tour with a smaller group of people, it’s easier to feel a sense of camaraderie and connect with like-minded travellers—not to mention there’s always someone around to snap a photo of you. And while Collette tours offer shared experiences, strategic windows of free time also give travellers the opportunity to set out solo and feed their own adventurous spirit.
Just a glance at Iceland’s natural marvels can impress a visitor. Add stories and insider information to the mix, and those great sights can become wow experiences. Collette’s Tour Managers are the knowledgeable experts who add that depth to moments on tour. They’re also prepared to handle unpredictable conditions or unforeseen circumstances so travellers don’t have to.
A guided tour takes care of the itinerary planning for you, saving you time and stress. However, with Collette, the benefits extend beyond that. Our small group itineraries are crafted by passionate experts who know these destinations, which means you’re treated to popular highlights and the lesser-known gems that are hard to come by on your own. Climb a glacier in a super truck. Search for whales in RIB Zodiac boats. Spend time at a local goat farm, and more.
Take in Iceland’s magic on an expedition from Reykjavik and the Golden Circle to the island’s north coast and the Snæfellsnes Peninsula. Witness the raw power of nature at massive waterfalls, walk between two tectonic plates, and ascend the country’s second-largest ice cap by truck. Taste the Icelandic bread that’s cooked using geothermal energy, indulge in the geothermal bathing tradition, search for whales in Skjálfandi Bay—and that’s only the tip of the iceberg (or rather, glacier).
