Iceland & The Faroe Islands Explorer
$3,350.00
- An amazing adventure to unique islands with a rich culture dating back to the Viking age. Explore the shops and restaurants of Reykjavik, see natural wonders on the Golden Circle Tour, and relax in the warm geothermal waters of the Blue Lagoon. You’ll see the highlights of Iceland before Arctic Island hopping to Torshavn and the Faroe Islands, the true highlight of this trip. Midway between Norway and Iceland the Faroe Islands rise out of the Atlantic Ocean like a hardy little flower. The islands offer thrilling experiences and a rugged environment: Steep cliffs rising from the open sea, narrow straits between the islands, small villages and a rich bird life. There may only be 50,000 inhabitants but the Faroese are a proud peo-ple whose culture and language can be traced back to the Viking age. In both Iceland and the Faroe Islands you’ll stay in comfortable accommodations right in the city center but also have time to do your own thing and choose what you want to do each day.
