Frontiers presents an exciting self-drive tour of Iceland behind the wheel of a Land Rover Discovery 4. This five-day experience blends expert-led off-road driving with comfortable boutique accommodations and carefully prepared cuisine. The program includes two Land Rover Experience instructors, a dedicated tour director, and multiple departure dates in February and March 2016. Pricing starts at $7,159 per person.
The itinerary showcases Iceland’s dramatic landscapes and guided activities: traverse glaciers and lava fields, visit geysers and waterfalls in the Golden Circle, drive on snow and ice with professional instruction, access black volcanic sand beaches under permit, take a snowmobile ride on Langjökull Glacier, and seek the Northern Lights when conditions allow.
