The crystal clear waters off Iceland represents one of the richest marine habitats in the world, with whales and all manner of aquatic life providing some wonderful opportunities for wildlife watching.

Located just 100km from the Arctic Circle, Akureyri is one of the stops on a cruise of Iceland, famous for having some of the best summer weather in all of Iceland. The town boasts the most northerly 18-hole golf course and botanical gardens in the world, as well as some interesting museums and shopping opportunities.
However, Reykjavik is almost universally the highlight of a trip to Iceland. Its proximity to nature means that it too has a vast selection of outdoor activities to take advantage of, while the city itself is remarkably clean and friendly, with a peculiarly vibrant atmosphere that makes it a pleasure to explore.
