Vikings, Volcanoes and TrollsDate: 07-31 to 08-07 Company Name: Alyson Adventures, Inc. Location: Iceland Description: Iceland: Extreme watersports, eerie landscapes, and extraordinary fun! Few spots on earth offer the extremes of Iceland: The friendly blond people, descended directly from Viking explorers; an unspoiled landscape that ranges from lush wilderness to fuming volcanic craters to rainbow-shrouded waterfalls; and a rich history that includes the world's oldest parliament and some of folklore's strangest sagas. On our adventure week you'll enjoy an invigorating mix of hiking, mountain biking, whitewater rafting, and sea kayaking. Swim in a naturally-heated river deep in the countryside, and hike into the cone of a dormant volcano. Optional activities include horseback riding and whalewatching. And for the end of your holiday week, we've saved time to enjoy the nightlife of gay-friendly Reykjavik. |
