WHY CHOOSE ICELAND? Iceland’s rich culture, Viking heritage, incredible landscapes, and completely unique geography make it a prime location for groups seeking more out of their trip. USTOA and SYTA list Iceland in their top 10 destinations for students. Here is why our educators choose Iceland: • Safety – according to the Global Peace Index, Iceland is the safest country in the world.

• Equality – Iceland ranks number 1 in the world for gender equality according to the World Economic Forum's Global Gender Gap Index, making it a global leader in civil rights.

• Exceptional learning opportunities - volcanos, glaciers, geysers, geothermal energy and other green technology implementations make for incredible learning discoveries for STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) students.

• Culture – Iceland’s rich heritage and world-renowned arts and music scene make it an incredible choice for students and performers alike.

WHAT OUR GUESTS SAY “History, culture, food, geology, people - all aspects of Iceland our guide covered.

Hulda was the best we could have hoped for. Personable, knowledgeable, excited, all you wanted in a guide. One day we had a student who was off the tour for the day and so was I. Hulda suggested things we could do to still have an "Iceland" day.

The bus and driver were wonderful. I would absolutely ask for this driver again if possible. Quiet when needed but he interacted with the students well , told stories, answered questions, etc.

Most mornings began early, but that was needed for all that was packed into the day. Our Icelandic guide and bus driver were excellent.”

Julie Fontana, Group Leader “Outstanding! A unique destination that everyone truly loved! Everything was organized and ran very smoothly.

The tour guides were friendly, knowledgeable, and very helpful. The activities kept us busy - it was just the right amount for a full day without being overwhelmed.”
