Iceland
Amazing Landscapes Under the Midnight Sun
Summer in Iceland is a unique experience; from June until August the sun hardly sets. With constant daylight during these summer months, there is no better way to experience the wonders of Iceland than under the soft light of the Midnight Sun. Whether whale watching or touring the extraordinary landscape, the evening sun provides the perfect backdrop for a romantic getaway or a relaxing short break.
From erupting geysers to lazy lagoons, Iceland is crammed with natural wonders just waiting to be explored. Everywhere you go in this fascinating land there is colourful evidence of the constant turmoil beneath the surface, which has spawned one of the strangest yet most beautiful landscapes known to man.
Greenland offers another opportunity to experience a culture shaped by a unique landscape and can be combined with an Iceland break on our 'At the Edge of the World' tour. Rugged mountains and grand icebergs dominate breath-taking panoramas of the untouched Arctic. Despite being the largest island on earth, Greenland is home to just a few thousand Inuit who live at the edge of the habitable world.
Transun's Iceland Breaks
Whales and Wonders, from £779
3 Nights, 15 June - 15 August 2012
On this summer weekend break you can enjoy the charming experience of whale watching under the Midnight Sun. After setting out from the bay of Reykjavik under the pink sky, the boat's engines will close down so you can hear the soothing sounds of nature whilst in search of the ocean's greatest spectacle. As well as the whale watching experience, your weekend will include the Blue Lagoon excursion and the geysers, waterfalls and bubbling mud pools of the famous Golden Circle tour.
Scenery and Spectacle, from £889
4 Nights, 1 June - 20 August 2012
Take in the sights of the famous Golden Circle tour - with a twist. On this four-night break you can explore the geysers, bubbling mud pools, Gullfoss waterfall and Thingvellir National Park under the soft light of the Midnight Sun. These evening excursions attract fewer tourists, allowing you a peaceful tour of the most celebrated natural phenomena in Iceland. Also included in the Scenery and Spectacle itinerary is a whale watching excursion, the Blue Lagoon trip and a Reykjavik sightseeing tour.
At the Edge of the World, from £1,699
7 Nights, 3 June - 11 September 2012
This week-long break not only includes the favourite Iceland excursions (whale watching, Golden Circle, the Blue Lagoon, Reykjavik sightseeing), but also offers the chance of an overnight stay in Greenland. Kulusuk is a picturesque village situated on the eastern coast of Greenland; with rugged mountains, glistening fjords and drifting icebergs, you can view breath-taking scenery like nowhere on Earth. Home to just a few hundred Inuit, you really will be travelling to the edge of the habitable world.
