There are plenty of educational and cultural things to do in Iceland’s capital city including visits to: a Viking heritage museum, the national art and sculpture galleries and an open-air folk exhibition.

Recreational excursions are in abundance too; evening and daytime trips to bowling alleys, ice skating rinks and shopping are all easily arranged.

Blue Lagoon Spa
The mineral deposits within Iceland’s geothermal pools heat up the water to make a scientific study became a warm and relaxing bath. Spas are everywhere and we recommend the Blue lagoon as a great venue due to its proximity to the airport.

The Golden Circle Tour
The southern shore of Iceland contains a number of water falls, geysers and glacial valleys that can be explored on the back of super jeep and snow tractor. Hellidheidi Plateau and Langjökull Glacier provide some fantastic examples of glacial features and geography students will be in their element.

The unique power of Iceland’s natural environment has been harnessed to generate sustainable energy. This power plant has guided tours to introduce your students to production methods.
