About Iceland Adventure School Trip Program
Experience Iceland like never before on this 10-day immersive school trip designed to transform your students into true travelers. You'll circumnavigate the entire country on a perfectly-paced road trip, starting in the vibrant capital of Reykjavik and venturing to remote villages, glaciers, and geothermal hotspots. This program is ideal for geography and photography classes, but appeals to students of any discipline with a sense of adventure.
Your journey showcases Iceland's unique geology and culture through hands-on experiences. Explore the Golden Circle's iconic landmarks—Gulfoss Waterfall, Strokkur Geyser, and Thingvellir National Park, where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates meet. You'll have the option to snorkel in the brilliant turquoise waters of Silfra Fissure (14+), where visibility extends 300 feet, or hike through the park. Visit black sand beaches with basalt columns, see where puffins roost, hike to hidden ice caves on Vatnajokull Glacier, and ride gentle Icelandic horses at twilight on a local family farm. Other highlights include the Eastfjords' dramatic cliffs, Myvatn's volcanic craters, the iconic Kirkjufell Mountain (perfect for photography), and a refreshing soak at the world-famous Blue Lagoon.
Authenticity is central to the Travel For Teens philosophy: "teaching teens to be travelers, not tourists." You'll stay in locally-owned guesthouses in city centers, dine at charming authentic restaurants, and interact with local guides and families. A Viking Sushi tour introduces you to Iceland's freshest seafood, while meals feature genuine Icelandic cuisine. Your full-time trip director and expert local guides help students step outside their comfort zones, appreciate different cultures, and discover the joys of meaningful travel.
Comprehensive support removes planning stress. Travel For Teens never combines groups—your bus, your itinerary, your experience. A dedicated team member guides you from planning through departure, providing 24/7 support during the trip to handle any surprises. You'll receive frequent email updates and hundreds of professional photos shared with families, creating a living record of the adventure. Teachers travel free and can earn $1,000 through the Travel Rewards Program.
This trip creates lifelong memories and personal growth. Past participants report breaking out of their shells, discovering confidence, building incredible friendships, and returning home transformed. Whether your students are budding geographers, photography enthusiasts, or adventure seekers, Iceland's otherworldly landscapes, Scandinavian culture, and hands-on experiences will leave them with stories and perspectives they'll carry forever.
