Jedi! JEDI! JEDI! ​ Day 4 - Hvar I'm on a boat Wake up and enjoy breakfast at the hotel. ​ We’ll then spend the day zooming around islands on private boat with your travel crew!

Its towering walls encircle the rocky strip of land, running for more than a mile uninterrupted. Follow along, and then the afternoon is yours. ​ Keep on exploring with the crew, grab a bite in a tiny alleyway, get lost in the twists and turns, and watch the sunset from a cliffside bar. play ​ Day 7 - Dubrovnik Blue Waters Wake up and enjoy breakfast at the hotel before heading out for a day on the crystal clear Adriatic. ​ We’re doing a little tandem kayaking in the glassy sea around the Old Town walls, so don’t forget your hat and shades.

We'll grab farewell cocktails at a beach club and then head out for one final dinner full of good food, good wine, and even better company. BOOK! ​ ​ Day 8 - Dubrovnik farewell Today is our last day in Croatia. We’ll share one final breakfast together before we all go our separate ways. ​ Check-out is at noon, but the hotel will be happy to store your bags should you take a later flight (which we recommend). ​ If you’ve got some more time in Europe, we can’t recommend cruising down to Crete or Sardinia enough for some more Mediterranean living.

If you get there early and you’re not in need of a nap, head out past traditional Finnish homes for a midday stroll through the charming city center. This is, of course, the home of jolly ole Saint Nick, so for some added magic, you can even check out Santa’s village and hop on a sleigh ride into the forest. In the evening, we’ll meet up for welcome drinks before our first taste of Lapland cuisine at our welcome dinner. Congrats, you’ve made it to the capital capital of Finnish Lapland and the entrance to the Arctic Circle! ​ *Please note that this trip now starts in Rovaniemi sled Day 2 - Rovaniemi join the pack Get up and get ready for some fun; today, we’re finding the Lapland spirit by heading out into the rugged wilderness on a husky ride for the ultimate cold weather thrill. Harness your pack of pups, wind through pine forests and over frozen lakes, and take in the winter wonderland with the best Lapland guides around. Afterward, we’ll return for some lingonberry juice and much-needed and much-appreciated puppy playtime. ​ In the evening, you’ll zip up in ridiculous (but warm!) dry suits to go ice floating beneath those endless Lapland stars, and if we're lucky, the Northern Lights will put on one of their spectacular shows. FLOAT Day 3 - Sinetta in glass houses ​ Get up early to check out Santa’s village if you haven’t seen it yet, or head out on a morning snowshoe for some final Rovaniemi views. After that, we’re hitting the road and winding north for the glass igloos of Sinettä. ​ Spend the afternoon sipping cocktails by the ice bar, then throw things back to a simpler time, head for the hills, pop on a sled, and set arctic-speed records. That evening, you can slow things down a notch and unwind in a private sauna, or, if you want more of that great outdoors, hop in one of the hot tubs to soak up Lapland’s beauty. ​ In the evening, we’ll all get together for a group dinner and a taste of the Arctic. When it’s time to hit the hay, take it all in through the glass roof of your igloo hotel; weather permitting, you may even get your own private aurora borealis dance overhead—not a bad way to round off the day. Gaze Day 4 - Kiruna ON TO SWEDEN Say goodbye to Finland, it’s time to make our way to Kiruna, a mining town and the northernmost city in all of Sweden. After we drop our bags, it’s time for a bit of authentic indigenous culture—we’re taking a deep dive into the life of the Sami people, discovering how they survived the Arctic, and eating a traditional lunch (reindeer steaks by the fire, anyone?). This entire region has great snowpack for more than seven months of the year and massive expanses of wilderness to enjoy, so it's no surprise it’s become one of Lapland's premier destinations. Grab a bite with friends in the evening, and then, if you're lucky, you'll spot those magical northern lights once more. cruise Day 5 - Kiruna SNOWMOBILING No Lapland adventure is complete with a fair share of winter sports, so suit up, it's time to roll out into the great outdoors for some snowmobiling fun with our favorite Viking guides. Head out into the Swedish wilderness and ride on until you reach a cabin in the middle of nowhere. With the crew, you'll try some local delicacies (reindeer tongue, anyone?) and warm up before you hop back on your trusty ride and wind back along a new route home. The afternoon and evening are free to try cross country skiing, catch the arctic sunset, or head to the one English pub in town to mingle with the locals. Connect Day 6 - Tromsø Velkommen We’ll be heading out on the road again today, this time toward Tromsø, Norway, one of Lapland's cultural hubs. Framed by snowy peaks, surrounded by arctic waterways, and filled with historic wooden homes, this is one magical Norwegian destination. That evening, we'll all head out for drinks and a tour of what just may be the northernmost brewery on the whole planet. With more than enough taps to choose from, it's one fine way to say hey to Norway. After a few pints, hit the town with the crew as you keep your eyes peeled for more of that green magic in the sky. RELAX Day 7 - Tromsø Sauna at Sea After a bite, we’re all going to roll out together and spend the morning checking out the town on a private tour. You’ll have some free time before we get back together later in the afternoon, so keep exploring if you’re up to it. Try some local Norwegian specialties (hello, whale meat!) and grab a drink with the locals. Head to the water for a floating sauna session before dinner and dive into those frigid Norwegian waters between sweats if you dare. After that, it’s time for our farewell dinner—so eat up and share some last laughs with your new friends. BOOK! Day 8 - Tromsø Heippa ​ And just like that, you’ve conquered Lapland. We hope you had one incredible time; this is a special place, and we really do love it. We recommend scheduling a later flight, so you have time to continue exploring the city of Tromsø. If you're one of the lucky ones and have got a few more days for adventuring, keep on going—Lapland and Scandinavia have tons to offer.

    The Kenya trip For the love of THE GREAT MIGRATION ​ ​ WARRIOR CULTURE ​ ​ UNTAMED SAVANNAHS ​ ​ NAIROBI NIGHTLIFE ​ GOLDEN COASTS ​ ​ SWAHILI SPICES ​ ​ THE MAASAI MARA ​ ​ SAILING PARADISE ​ ​ kenya DAY BY DAY TRIP NOTES REVIEWS LEARN MORE SEE DATES & BOOK WHAT TO EXPECT Our small group trip to Kenya caters to travelers in their 20s and 30s searching for the Big Five in the Maasai Mara, diverse street food flavors in Nairobi, and ivory coastlines full of vibrant Swahili culture in Lamu. ​ Kickstart the adventure of a lifetime with a crew you’ll never forget in the Kenyan capital, where tantalizing nyama choma sizzles along streets buzzing with colorful languages and ancient traditions. Eventually, concrete towers will give way to Acacia Trees as we head west past the Great Rift Valley toward the legendary wildlife of the Maasai Mara. Between heart-stopping safaris in rugged grasslands and close encounters with rhinos and lions, you’ll even forge connections with the local Maasai community. ​ After the excitement of Kenya’s savannah, round out your adventure on the relaxing, white sand beaches of tropical Lamu. Explore coral stone Swahili architecture, try spicy local cuisine, and shout out those magical words you’ve known for years: Hakuna Matata! 2024 2025 10 days/9 nights starting at $5,699 USD ​ Limited single room upgrades starting from $669 are available and can be added during booking, subject to availability.

With thundering herds of migrating wildebeests and infectious rhythms of Swahili tunes, Kenya is an experience like nothing else. ​ After touching down just outside of Nairobi, hop in a cab and make your way to our hotel in the center of the capital. More than 40 ethnic groups call this city home, and with Kikuyo, Luo, and Kalenjin influences (just to name a few!), this cultural melting pot is just as diverse as the nation’s wildlife. Settle in and soak up the scene over drinks with the crew before we head out to a nearby restaurant for a taste of local cuisine. ​ We know getting to Kenya isn’t exactly quick or easy, so we left the night free—you can grab some early shut eye or check out the Nairobi nightlife if you’re feeling up to it. learn Day 2 - Nairobi, Maasai Mara Tea Partay We’re getting up early and heading west for some of the most staggering scenes in Africa—Maasai Mara, here we come! ​ Don’t worry if you’re still a bit jet-lagged or if you had one too many Tuskers last night; we’ll be stopping at a working tea farm for a mid-morning pick-me-up. Fuel up on some much-needed caffeine in the rolling highlands as you learn the inner workings of one of the country’s most important industries, and then grab lunch with a view. That afternoon, we’ll hit the road again and ride toward endless golden savannahs pulsating with the promise of adventure. ​ Welcome to the legendary, magical, almost unspeakably moving Maasai Mara! We’ll spend the next three nights in a riverside camp near the Tanzanian border, so settle in, sit down for an early group dinner, and get ready for tomorrow’s adventure. witness Day 3 - Maasai Mara Wild Country Mornings in the Mara are something else. Imagine golden savannah light and crisp, clean air filled with the sounds of African wildlife. Don’t worry about setting an alarm—your new neighbors will let you know when it’s time to get up. ​ Today, we’re headed out on a full-day game drive in 4x4s, with safari guides leading the search for the Big Five (elephant, rhino, buffalo, lion, and leopard). Though these are the most iconic creatures in Africa’s most legendary land, they won’t fill the lion’s share of your day’s sightings. The Mara’s sprawling grasslands are also home to giraffes, cheetahs, and watering holes that sustain more than 32,000 zebras and 37,000 wildebeests! ​ As the sun begins to set, we’ll head to camp for dinner and fireside stories underneath clear African skies. safari Day 4 - Maasai Mara Natural Habitat Rise and shine, and get ready for another day of feeling blissfully inconsequential as we hit the park for round two. ​ Today, we're heading deeper into these wild plains, past termite mounds that litter the horizon like miniature apartment blocks. We’ll drive through groves of Acacia Trees shading sunny landscapes, where evocatively named plants like the African Bushman's Hat, Whistling Thorn, and Torch Lily are constant reminders that these untamed grasslands are far, far from home. ​ Just make sure you keep your camera ready, in the Mara, you never know what’s around the next bend. We'll head back toward camp for another group dinner followed up by a campfire where you can argue over who's got the best shot at a Nat Geo cover photo. immerse Day 5 - Maasai Mara Warrior Culture Today, we’re switching gears from epic wildlife to warriors who share a deep connection with these famous landscapes. ​ We’ll head to a nearby camp to spend the day and night with a local Maasai tribe, the semi-nomadic community who’ve roamed the Mara for centuries. Immerse yourselves in this self-sustaining society as you learn about traditional beadwork, the symbolic meaning behind facial scars, and a warrior way of life. You’ll even get the chance to visit a school and discover what it’s like to grow up in the Kenyan savannah. As thousands of Maasai men, women, and children still call this region home, the camp plays an integral role in society, actively supporting local communities through education and work projects. ​ That evening, at the foot of the lush, spiritual Loita Hills, you’ll forge connections that transcend language and culture as you discover the importance of these sacred lands. mesmerize Day 6 - Maasai Mara, Nairobi Cradle of Humanity Grab breakfast and say “ole sere” (goodbye) to your new Maasai friends before we hit the road back to the capital. ​ Along the way, we’ll stop off at the Great Rift Valley, a geological marvel that stretches 6,000 kilometers from the Middle East to Mozambique. Inhabited by humans for millions of years and home to countless archaeological sites and ancient settlements, this is one of the cradles of human civilization. After we get back to the capital, head out for lunch and a tour of the town with a local crew as you discover the city through the lens of these enterprising teens who raised themselves on Nairobi’s streets. ​ That night, sample the diverse cuisine that this place is known for—maize porridge Ugali and vegetable Sukuma Wiki—before you hit the bars in Westlands playing genge, Nairobi’s home-grown brand of hip hop. relax Day 7 - Nairobi, Lamu ISLAND TIME Today’s our last day in the capital, and your morning is free to check out the rest of Nairobi. If you’re after souvenirs, scour the local flea markets that pop up throughout the city every day of the week. ​ We’ll head east to Lamu Island, our final stop in Indian Ocean paradise that afternoon. A labyrinth of narrow winding streets, coral stone homes, and ancient mosques, the timeless little town at the center of it all is full of Swahili tradition. Beyond the village, pristine beaches with powdery white sand fringe the coastline and lush mangrove forests teem with wildlife. ​ We’ll kick off our balmy, breezy, beachy final leg in style at a group dinner as we feast on the freshest ingredients harvested by local farmers and fishermen. ROAM Day 8 - Lamu Swahili Cooking You're officially on island time, so spend your day relaxing with the Kenyan crew and soak up some rays any way you like. ​ If you're looking for sand between your toes and a tropical concoction or two, head out for Shela Beach's laid-back vibes and dreamy views. If you're into history, don't miss the old town; it's a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the oldest Swahili settlement along the East African coast. Between the two, just make sure you dive into Swahili cuisine at a seaside restaurant somewhere along the way (pro tip: there's even one floating on the water). That'll give you a head start on the evening's festivities. ​ That night, we’re headed into the kitchen for Swahili home cooking, with a Lamu island local leading the way. Learn how to make everything from samaki wa kupaka (fish-marinated coconut curry) to viazi karai (deep-fried spicy potato balls)! sail Day 9 - Lamu sET saIL Grab breakfast if you’ve got any space left over from last night’s Swahili spread, and then head for the sea; it’s time to feel the wind in your hair and experience true paradise. ​ Sail away with the amazing group of friends you’ve met on this wild adventure and soak up Indian Ocean vibes aboard our own private dhow (a traditional wooden sailboat). Cruise past thick mangroves and powdery white beaches, and, if you’re lucky, you’ll spot a sea turtle unwinding like the rest of us. We’ll make stops in Matondoni, a fishing community where dhows are built, and Kipungani, a tranquil, traditional coastal village for some more Swahili magic along the way. ​ That evening, it’s time for one last meal in turquoise paradise. Eat up, drink up, and raise a glass to Kenya. indulge Day 10 - Lamu, Nairobi Kwaheri! Share a final breakfast with friends at the hotel before we head to the airport and say goodbye. Today, we're flying back to the capital, where you can catch your connection or keep on traveling the Mother Continent. It is a long haul home, so we recommend the second option (if you've got time to spare)! Kenya's full of great parks; check out Lake Nakuru National Park and its flamingos or the rare species in Samburu National Reserve if you want more wildlife. If you're a culture tripper, head west toward Morocco for legends and stories beneath the Saharan sky. It's been one unreal adventure! We've seen landscapes and seascapes that most people only dream of, and we hope you've had the trip of a lifetime! Book!

Though there’s big game practically everywhere you look in Kenya, hunting is completely illegal across the country.

Book your arrival flight into Kansai International Airport , or Osaka International Airport , and take public transportation to Kyoto; Book your departure flight out of Tokyo from either the Narita International Airport or the Haneda International Airport . In Japan, you'll find everything from hotel rooms to portion sizes to be smaller. Public transportation: Japanese trains are very efficient, and traffic in the major cities is bad, so this whole trip is done on public transport. Try to pack lightly. When visiting Japan, we stay as close to historic city centers as possible. This means your accommodations will often be on the small side, quirky, and unique (we love this!). Cherry Blossom season usually falls between April and May. June is the rainy season, but it usually does not rain every day Seafood is a staple of Japanese cuisine and can be found in many dishes. If you are a selective eater, please be aware that meals will often include seafood. Note for vegetarians, vegans, and gluten-free: In Japanese culture, foods without the actual meat of an animal (such as beef broths) are considered vegetarian. This may present difficulties for travelers with dietary restrictions, as it is hard to adjust foods or find foods that don't use grains or fish. While your guide can help you understand what you're ordering, it will be up to you to do your research on foods that meet your dietary preferences. We cannot guarantee that you will be able to find meals that fit your needs during the group meals that are included. All activities are weather-dependent; in the unlikely event that we are unable to run an activity, we will have a suitable alternative in place. More information regarding visa requirements and Covid restrictions can be found here . ​ * The Japan Trip follows a 91-Day Cancellation Policy, different from other FTLO Trips about Japan Japan is home to a rich cultural heritage steeped in tradition. Its history, spanning millennia, melds ancient practices with modern innovations. The nation reveres traditions like tea ceremonies, sumo wrestling, and cherry blossom festivals while also placing huge importance on cutting-edge technology and urban sophistication. Major cities pulse with energy, housing futuristic skyscrapers alongside historic temples. GOod to know The national language is Japanese. The currency in Japan is the yen. Everything is very, very small. Though cleverly designed, expect small spaces for accommodation. Japan is one of the most expensive places to visit in the world, and therefore will not be a luxury trip, despite the higher costs. Japanese cuisine is delicious, creative, and stunning, but it will definitely challenge your palette’s comfort zone. Japanese culture is completely different from anything else you’ve experienced before; be ready to expand your horizons. This trip will offer a mix of ancient and modern, old and new. Manners are important in Japan and showing respect, as you would in any country. It is generally a quieter country, despite bustling cities and tourist-heavy areas.

With Medieval stone architecture around every bend, this gorgeous city is a surreal window into the past. ​ We’ll have a quick orientation; then we're heading back in time to check out the Royal Mile. Our local guide will lead us through the Old Town's cobbled streets, past neoclassical landmarks (keep a look out for the imposing fortress of Edinburgh Castle overhead). ​ If you've got an eye for history, architecture, or culture, this is one tough neighborhood to beat. After a day of exploration, it’s time for a welcome dinner with the crew. ARRIVE Day 2 - Edinburgh Scots& Scotch After breakfast at your hotel, step out into the city for a day of Scottish adventure with the crew and get ready to groove, because, in this rocky old town, the pipes, the pipes are calling. ​ That's right; it's bagpipe time. And you're not just listening; you're giving it a go. While we cannot guarantee you'll be any good, we can guarantee the entire experience will make for some fantastic videos. After that, your afternoon’s free, so consider checking out the city's literary legacy at the Writers' Museum, strolling up through imposing Edinburgh Castle, or venturing to the top of Arthur's Seat for panoramic views. ​ Then, it's time to get local and hit up a historic underground drinking hole for an intro lesson into all things whisky. In the evening, find a pub and some grub with the rest of the crew. Day by day DAY BY DAY *Itinerary is indicative and is subject to change SLAíNTE Day 3 - Scottish Highlands Open Country Get breakfast in you early; we've got quite the day ahead. We're leaving the big city behind, grabbing a van, and heading out to explore the vast Scottish Highlands. ​ The farther we travel, the more you'll get a sense of Scotland's untamed beauty. Near the charming town of Killin, we'll check out the Falls of Dochart, which tumble dramatically over ancient volcanic rocks.

Make sure you've got the camera ready; these endless landscapes seem to change constantly—they're raw, rugged, open, and sure to make you feel miniscule in comparison. After that, we'll stop for a stroll in picturesque Luss along the shore of Loch Lomond before moving on to Glasgow. ​ That night, we'll wind down from the highlands to Scotland's biggest city where we'll chow down on a local food tour (did someone say "haggis"?) and check out a blend of heritage and the modern world along the River Clyde.

We recommend hitting up Quay Street for dinner, drinks, and some Irish tunes. * explore Day 6 - Galway cliffs & country Have a bite with the group at the hotel before heading south for a day exploring Ireland’s staggering coastline. We’ll meet up with our guide and hit the Burren, the otherworldly rock formation that stretches for 100s of square kilometers across rolling terrain. ​ Grab lunch and a little Irish coffee pick-me-up before heading over toward the Cliffs of Moher. Formed some 300 million years ago, the towering ledges hang 500 feet over the windswept Atlantic. This is, without a doubt, one of the country’s most incredible sites. ​ After checking it out, head back to Galway, where the night is yours to grab dinner with friends, explore the lovely streets, and decide for yourself whether the Scots or the Irish have the more difficult accent to get a hold of. adventure Day 7 - Dublin Fair City Catch up with the crew over breakfast, and then we’ll start winding our way to the capital. It’s a bit of a ride, so before we pull in for Guinness fresh from the source, we’ll keep the good times rolling at a farm along the way to check out one epic sheepdog experience as we get the low down on how to herd with the best of them. ​ After getting to Dublin, grab a bite and then meet back up with the group in the city center for a night on the town—it’s time to go pub crawling through the famous streets of the capital. Pull up a seat and chat it up with gregarious Dubliners whose stories flow faster than the pints. taste Day 8 - Dublin Gaelic Games Get a good breakfast at the hotel; you’re going to need your energy today. We’re hitting the pitch and taking a shot at some Gaelic games. ​ From hurling to handball and football, sports are an integral part of the Irish experience. Of course, there’s no better way to learn than to dive in yourself, so get ready for some good old-fashioned fun with your new friends and teammates. ​ After a day at the field, explore the city before meeting up for a final meal. Then, the evening is yours to soak up the sights, sounds, and suds of the Irish capital. wander Day 9 - Dublin Mar Sin Leat Smile because it happened, don’t cry because it’s over. Unfortunately, the end is here, so eat up with your friends before saying goodbye and heading home or onward to your next adventure. If you’ve got a later flight, hit the streets for one last bit of sightseeing if you can. ​ If you're in the mood for more European fun, consider popping over to the Basque Country for some of the best food in the world or down to Sardinia for one beachy good time. behold "This is a city of shifting light, of changing skies, of sudden vistas. A city so beautiful it breaks the heart again and again.” - Alexander McCall Smith on Edinburgh FAST FACTS Fast facts Just for Fun Hurling is considered the fastest field sport in the world and the sliothar (ball) can travel 120km/hour! 10 million pints of Guinness are produced in Dublin every day!

SEE DATES & BOOK LEARN MORE About Ireland & Scotland ​ ​Ireland & Scotland are known for their breathtaking natural beauty, fun and welcoming environments and fascinating histories. Both countries are home to some of the most photogenic places on earth. ​ The Irish diaspora is an incredible thing. More than 80 million people worldwide claim some Irish heritage, while the country itself only has a population of 6 million. Scotland’s population comes in just a hair lower at 5.5 million, a figure overshadowed by the local sheep population by more than a million. ​ Good to know ​ Ireland’s official languages are Irish and English while Scotland’s is English. Accents in both countries can take quite a bit of getting used to. Ireland uses the Euro while Scotland is on the Pound sterling. Irish surnames that start in “Mac” mean “son of” while those that start in “O” mean “grandson of.” Weather (especially on the Atlantic coast) can be predictably unpredictable, so make sure to pack a waterproof jacket and some warm clothes. Though it rains a lot, it's also windy, so not many people carry around umbrellas. You are welcome to bring one, but a good jacket and covers for your backpack or luggage might be more practical. flights Flights Fly into Edinburgh (EDI) You'll need to be in Edinburgh Airport by 12pm and be at the hotel at 2:30pm on Day 1; however, we do recommend flying in earlier to have some time to explore the city on your own!

There’s outdoor fun, and then there’s outdoor fun Icelandic style. If you’re up for lounging in hot springs, conquering snow-covered lava fields, and trekking along volcanic beaches, head north with us for the ultimate winter adventure. First stop, Reykjavik—from colorful homes to street art, and oddly endearing hardcore metal shows, it’s a city full of surprises. It’s also the only place we know of with both fermented shark and world-renowned hot dogs on the menu. After exploring the capital, we’ll head south to wander iceberg-studded, obsidian beaches ripped from the pages of fantasy novels. So come along and slug down some Brennivin beneath the northern lights, find your footing in the mist of cascading falls, and reach out to blue ceilings of frozen rolling waves in glacial ice caves. 2024 2025 5 days/4 nights starting at $2,999 USD ​ ​ Limited single room upgrades starting from $659 are available and can be added during booking, subject to availability.

Check out the Church of Hallgrimskirkja or Laugavegur, the central shopping district, and come to terms with the fact that Duolingo didn’t adequately prepare you for Icelandic pronunciations. After that, consider popping over to the nearby Blue Lagoon and relaxing in the steamy lap of luxury. In the afternoon, we’ll meet up for a private food tour that just so happens to be the highest-rated culinary adventure in the entire city. Get a base layer of unique Icelandic eats in you, and then dabble in some Brennivin, the country’s iconic distilled beverage. Known lovingly as “Black Death,” it should get you going for a night on the town. Head out with new friends; the evening is yours to enjoy. ​ ARRIVE Day 2 – Reykjavik to Vik Glacial crossing After a bite with the team at the hotel, we’re headed south to vast, sparsely inhabited terrain. We’ll stop at Seljalandsfoss and hike into the gorge behind the 200-foot waterfall before continuing on and checking out the Dyrhólaey viewpoint. This arching rock formation juts into the sea, providing incredible views of the Mýrdalsjökull glacier, black volcanic beaches, and lava sea stacks off Reynisfjara. We’ll grab lunch together, surrounded by imposing rock walls in the tiny town of Vik, and then we’re off to Fjaðrárgljúfur canyon to step into soaring landscapes so surreal they’d make Tolkien jealous. Eventually, we’ll wind our way to our hotel beneath remote looming mountains, where we'll sit down for a traditional Icelandic dinner together and kick back beneath those endless Icelandic stars. Marvel Day 3 – Southern Iceland Blues & greens ​ Eat up; we’ve got a big day ahead. We’re moving on east to check out the towering, jagged icebergs floating through the Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon and then to Diamond Beach to stroll between the mammoth, sparkling chunks of ice that sprinkle black volcanic sands. We’ll grab some grub and refuel with the team, and then we’re off on a Jeep and walking tour of the ice caves in Breiðamerkurjökull and Vatnajokull (and no, we can’t pronounce those either). The undulating blues and greens of these sprawling caverns may only be outdone by the northern lights, which we should get a glimpse of tonight at our secluded accommodation near Vik. Grab dinner with friends; you’ve got another free night to take it all in. trek * Day 4 – Reykjavik Viking treasure ​ After breakfast at the hotel, we're northbound to Reykjavik once more. Along the way, we'll stop and check out the sprawling Skogafoss Falls, where, as the legend says, Vikings hid ancient treasure before sealing it off with magic. Take a look for yourself and see if the waters sparkle with gold or diamonds. ​ We’ll hit up the hot springs at Sky Lagoon for lunch and one last sizzling adventure before we arrive in Reykjavik, and then we’ll regroup in the city for a final dinner altogether. If you’re feeling up to it, head off on a pub crawl with friends to go out in style. unwind Say your goodbyes over breakfast with the group before you fly. If you've got a later flight, do some more Reykjavik exploring. The city's full of fascinating architecture, arts, and culture. Take a walk down to the waterfront to check out the Harpa, the glass building that plays host to concerts and shows throughout the year, explore the Old Harbor, or take in the views over by the Grotta Lighthouse. ​ Got more vacation time to spare? Grab a rental car and keep on driving the island or even consider heading out on a whale watching tour. ​ Day 5 – Reykjavik farewell "You cannot rob me of free nature’s grace. You cannot shut the windows of the sky through which Aurora shows her brightening face…” - James Thomson FAST FACTS Fast facts JUST FOR FUN Reykjavik is the northernmost capital in the world and home to more than one third of the Icelandic population. Storytelling, myth, and legend are hugely important in Icelandic culture and many people still believe in trolls and elves to this day. Brennivin is Iceland’s most famous distilled alcohol. It’s made from fermented grain mash, high-ph water, and caraway. TRIP NOTES While we can’t guarantee private rooms on your Iceland vacation, you sho uld book your trip earlier if you prefer one, as they usually fill up. We’ll have an excellent opportunity to see the northern lights, but they’re not always visible. Iceland is a small country, but the weather can change fast, so be prepared with your wardrobe. On European trips, we stay as close to historic city centers as possible. This means your accommodations will often be on the small side, quirky, and unique (we love this!). Due to the potential for inclement weather in the winter months, certain locations may be impassable and swapped out for different experiences. Travelers on the New Years Eve trip should budget an additional $300. The New Year’s trip includes an additional night in Reykjavik, an added group lunch, and a special New Year’s Eve dinner. Travelers on this trip will visit Sky Lagoon the day after they return to the capital instead of on the way back from southern Iceland. Please note the NYE trip has an extra night to celebrate New Years Eve and New Years Day. It's a 5 night / 6 day trip with a new price of $3,799. There are some long drives on this trip (5 hours) but filled with stunning views and broken up by interesting stops. Ensure your passport is valid for 3-months after your return date. All activities are weather dependent; in the unlikely event that we are unable to run an activity, we will have a suitable alternative in place.

The country sits atop the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, directly above several volcanoes. This, in turn, provides numerous benefits when it comes to an energy source, as more than 25% of the country can run on geothermal power. The rest of the country runs on hydropower, meaning the nation is on 100% renewable energy. GOOD TO KNOW Iceland’s official currency is the Icelandic Krona.

You'll ride through mossy mountains toward geysers and lava fields peeking out behind wildflowers. Twist through lava tunnels beneath the earth and soak up the sights in iconic hot springs.

This is an out-of-this-world destination where adventure’s found around every corner. In Reykjavik—the capital city—it all starts with the food. ​ After dropping your bags and getting to know the crew, you'll head out on our street eats tour to try eight distinctively Icelandic dishes. You’ll be surprised at what’s on the summer menu; even Iceland has its variation of warm weather classics like local hot dogs and homemade ice cream from secret family recipes. ​ Grab some drinks with your new friends and stay out a bit too late. In summertime, this place is alive and energetic, and because of the latitude, the sun might not set until midnight or later. Taste Day 2 - Golden Circle/Reykholt Golden View After a bit of rest (hopefully); today, we're leaving the capital to check out the world-famous Golden Circle. ​ From Thingvellir to Gullfoss and Geysir, it’s hard not to feel tiny compared to these endless landscapes. Kick off the day walking through Viking hillsides where rocky canyons, split by drifting tectonic plates, cut through the country. From there, we'll grab lunch together at a family-owned greenhouse and learn how the locals live off the land. ​ We’ll continue along the route to marvel at steaming geysers shooting a hundred feet up, tiered waterfalls crashing down, and raw landscapes torn open by thousands of years of earthquakes that'll leave you speechless.

Wander around Selfoss or unwind in the town's geothermal pool. trek Day 4 - Reykjavik Lava & Lagoons Today, we're heading underground for a whole new view of Iceland as we explore the inner workings of a lava tube. ​ After leaving Selfoss, we'll hike through an almost mile-long tunnel of basaltic rock, an otherworldly geological wonder sculpted by the lava flow of a 5,000-year-old eruption. We'll need some Icelandic sun after our subterranean journey, so up next, head to Reykjavik's sizzling Sky Lagoon for the most relaxing swim on the island. Rejuvenating springs, spas, and thermal pools are social hubs in Iceland that reflect the harmony between the people and the geothermal resources; this one, with its rocky grottos and deep-blue infinity pool, heats up to over 100 degrees! ​ The afternoon's free for you to check out some of the capital's cool street art before we all meet up for an Icelandic farewell dinner. Explore Day 5 - Reykjavik End of an Adventure Summer in Iceland is a treat of epic nature lit up by endless sun. The country is alive with wildlife, wildflowers, and the most mild weather you’ll see all year. After saying your goodbyes, head to the airport and start planning your next adventure.

Thanks for coming along to soak up the North Atlantic sun. That's a wrap! Here, where the wind writes poems on the waves, and the rocks whisper ancient sagas, lies Iceland, a land spun from fire and ice, forever etched in the memory of the world. - Bárður Snæbjörnsson Fast facts FAST FACTS Just for fun Iceland is home to the world’s oldest parliament, Alþingi.

At that point, you’ll really be reaching peek old-school cool levels, so it makes a lot of sense that we’ll finish off our day with dinner and one incredible dance show. cruise Day 3 - Havana locally grown Today, we’re heading toward Havana’s agricultural outskirts for an authentic farm-to-table experience. We’ll learn the ins and outs of island-style organic farming before we sit down for a bite, a bit of dancing and music, and some more of those spectacular Cuban cocktails.

Check out the massive stone mausoleums at the Cementerio de Cristóbal Colón and the impressive sites at the University of Havana. We’ll even see the oddly fascinating statues of John Lennon (Cubans loved his message of peace) and Don Quixote. Find a black bean and fried plantain lunch like a local with some friends, and then the afternoon is yours to explore the city. We’ll all meet up that night for one final dinner together before we say our farewells. ENJOY Day 5 - Havana HASTA PRONTO Find breakfast with the group at the hotel before you wrap things up. If you've got the time, we recommend booking for later in the day and extending your Havana vacation a few hours longer so you can head out for lunch with friends in search of ropa vieja—the Cuban national dish made of shredded beef mixed with veggies and spices.

SEE DATES & BOOK LEARN MORE about cuba Although the nation became more isolated from the west after the Cuban Revolution and the rise of Fidel Castro, it has slowly opened up again and has recently undergone something of a modern renaissance in terms of arts and culture. While Cuban music has long been widely renowned, today, dance and theater troupes also thrive. Performers take center stage at the Gran Teatro de La Habana, yet increasingly local troupes are traveling abroad, often to great acclaim. Within Cuba, Havana remains, by and large, the nation’s cultural mecca and plays host to a diverse group of music halls, museums, and centers of arts.
