Greenland & Iceland - A Customised Combination

You do not have to be Bear Grylls to enjoy a thrilling combination of a land born out of fire and a country almost entirely covered in ice. It is the subject of much mirth as to how the countries two names could be so mismatched. Iceland is a geological wonder where volcanos, geysirs and waterfalls erupt out of the ground in a kaleidoscope of colour. On the other hand, just 20% of Greenland peeks out from under the ice-cap which, as another colossal force of nature, sculpts this land to equal and dramatic effect. 

DAY 1 - Reykjavik
Take one of many direct regional flights to Keflavik international airport in Iceland. On arrival, transfer via the airport shuttle bus to your chosen hotel in Reykjavik. The remainder of the day is at leisure to explore the capital, which celebrates the cultural diversity of Iceland’s small population with a plethora of museums, restaurants, monuments and galleries.
DAY 2 - Golden Circle & Blue Lagoon
Experience the best of Iceland with this package of two of the island's most popular tours in one day! The Golden Circle encompasses the must-see sights of Pingvellir National Park, the Gulfoss watefall, and the bubbling geothermal region of Geysir.  After touring these landmarks, soak in the milky blue waters of the Blue Lagoon.
DAY 3 - South Coast, Diamond Beach & Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon
Discover the stunning scenery of Iceland's sensational south coast tour from Reykjavik, including the Glacier Lagoon at Jokulsarlon and the fabulous Diamond Beach, visiting two thundering waterfalls along the way. 
DAY 4 - To Ilulissat, Greenland
Enjoy a leisurely breakfast before checking out. Take the shuttle bus to Keflavik airport for your direct flight to Ilulissat.  It is a 3.5hr flight to another world.  As you fly over Greenland admire the enormity of the ice-cap and catch your first glimpse of the glaciers and icebergs that reside in the fjords and open sea. On arrival, you will be met and transferred to your hotel.  Meet some of your like-minded fellow travellers before heading into town for a guided walk. Return to the hotel for a welcome dinner.
DAYS 5-6 - Ilulissat
Enjoy breakfast with the world’s biggest sculpture park as a backdrop. Then embark on your chosen excursions. There is a day trip to the Eqi Glacier, where you can witness first-hand the power that emanates from the mammoth ice cap, then lunch at a remote settlement. Walk to Sermermiut, where traces of old Inuit cultures can be seen, take a whale watching trip into Disko Bay or a flight over the Ice Fjord. Learn from the locals and visit the husky dogs that are part of every-day life, or visit a Greenlandic home and enjoy ‘Coffee-Mik’ and first-hand accounts of living in such a remote destination. We have to recommend an evening cruise, where you can enjoy the captivating sight of the midnight 
DAY 7 - Return to Reykjavik
This morning there is a last chance to absorb the surrounding scene. Transfer to the airport for the flight back to Iceland. On arrival at Keflavik airport take the shuttle bus to your hotel in Reykjavik for a night of reflection on your sojourn into another world you now can’t quite believe exists.
DAY 8 - UK
Enjoy breakfast and check-out. Then take the shuttle bus back to the airport in time for your flight to the UK.
