Student Trips to Iceland
If you’re looking for an educational visit where Mother Nature’s at its spectacular and awe-inspiring best, Iceland should be at the top of your wish-list. This country might be small, at about half the size of the UK, but it’s brimming with must-see visits and attractions, making it one of the best places for sixth form and college trips.
Why book educational student trips to Iceland?
Booking educational student trips to Iceland offers a unique opportunity to explore one of the world's most geologically and culturally fascinating destinations. Iceland, often referred to as the "Land of Fire and Ice," is a living classroom where geography, science, and history come to life in extraordinary ways. From the thundering waterfalls and erupting geysers to the expansive glaciers and volcanic landscapes, students can witness geothermal activity and glacial processes in real-time, providing unparalleled insights into Earth's dynamic systems.
The country's rich Viking history and vibrant modern culture add another layer of educational value. On student trips to Iceland, groups can delve into Norse mythology, explore historical sites, and engage with local traditions to gain a deeper understanding of how the country’s past shapes its present. Additionally, Iceland’s commitment to sustainability and renewable energy offers practical lessons in environmental science and conservation.
Highlights of Iceland student trips...
Iceland student trips allow classes to witness the power of nature, captivating your students as the skies come alive at night with the natural enigma that is the Northern Lights, otherwise known as Aurora Borealis. This elusive and unpredictable attraction will leave your students in wonder as the brilliantly dazzling display lights up the sky, providing a vivid and unforgettable educational experience.
No visit to Iceland would be complete without a visit to Strokkur Geysir, after which all geysers are named. This active hot spring shoots water up to 30 metres in the air and is a favourite stop-off point for anyone travelling along the Golden Circle. Another popular attraction to visit on Iceland student trips is the impressive Gulfoss Waterfall where river from Hvita river plummets 32 metres, in two stages, down into the rugged canyon below.
In Iceland’s capital city Reykjavík, there’s a selection of eateries, museums and the stunning Sun Voyager steel sculpture. It’s the ideal place to stay to experience Icelandic culture and learn more about the country’s fascinating history.
