The perfect school trip

Request information

A class trip to Iceland is both educational and exciting. The class can experience the power and effect of nature. Iceland lies between two tectonic plates which can be seen in multiple places on the island. On this volcanic island, the students can feel the warmth from the volcanoes through hot springs, geysers, and boiling mud. Iceland is a great country to visit for school groups where you can combine learning opportunities and fun.
