FOR TRAVEL LOVERS ONLY!!!
ICELAND Packages to
4 all seasons
GREAT HOLIDAY GIFT!!! idyllic • indulging intrepid • invigorating Inviting • iridescent Iceland is not easily defined. It is a country canvassed with dramatic landscapes, thus naming it the “Land of Fire & Ice,” the “Land of the Midnight Sun” and the “Land of the Northern Lights.” Ecotourism is offered in abundance as are culturally refined offerings of its capital city of “Reykjavik.” A European country of such sharp contrasts can thus offer a seasoned or non- seasoned traveler the best of both worlds. Describe your dream and we will craft it to fulfill that sojourn. From the capital of Reykjavik, you are well within easy reach of a myraid of versatile landscapes. From rich green volcanic lava fields, glistening glaciers, geysers, waterfalls and sparkling Atlantic coastline, we can “architect”a package to meet your specifications.
