AT A GLANCE

An Iceland adventure to ring in the new year! Iceland in the winter is one of the most unique environments in the world and the perfect place for our New Year’s Eve adventure. This trip is made for outdoor enthusiasts who not only like to dive head-first into outdoor adventures but who also want to be immersed in a foreign culture. Each activity you can (or cannot) find yourself doing is a hand-picked, one-of-a-kind experience only Iceland can offer.

Most people choose to visit Iceland in winter because of the high chance of seeing the Northern Lights. That’s not all we’re going there for. We plan on seeing the glacier lagoon, taking you on many hikes, bathing in the blue lagoon, potentially seeing the flowing lava of the active volcano, and of course exploring the city streets.
