One of the biggest swimming pools in Reykjavík. There are hot tubs, waterslides and much more. The pool was built in 1968 and designed by city architect Einar Sveinsson.
A UNESCO Geopark, our tour of this fascinating Pennisula will drive you past the Presidential residence of Bessastadir and the town of Hafnarfjörður. It will then take a coastal road to Lake Kleifarvatn, which is set in fascinating, stark, moon-like surroundings. You will see Krísuvík with its powerful jets of sulphurous steam escaping from deep below the earth’s crust and innumerable small hot springs, mud pots and boiling pools. At the end of the tour you will visit Grindavik, a bustling town with a large fishing fleet.
This starts with a drive to Þingvellir, a remarkable geological site located by Lake Þingvallavatn, the largest lake on the island. There is a beautiful canyon running through the park, which is actually the meeting point of two of the earth’s tectonic plates. Next see the infamous Geysir area, where you’ll see one of the most active geysers in the area, Strokkur, which spouts up to 30 meters in the air every 5 to 7 minutes. The tour culminates with a visit to Gullfoss (Golden Waterfall), where you can see thousands of tons of icy water thunder majestically down into a deep gorge.
This tour introduces you to the world’s northernmost capital. You will visit the old town centre, the Parliament, Domkirkja Cathedral and Hallgrímskirkja Church (whose steeple is a Reykjavík landmark).
A unique lake with pleasantly warm mineral-rich geothermal water in the middle of a black lava field where you can enjoy a sauna, steam baths and a massage waterfall.

You will be based at Hotel Cabin in Borgartún whose 250 rooms are all en-suite and have satellite TV. Though many of the rooms offer excellent scenic views, 27 of them have windows facing directly onto the hotel corridor. These have proved a welcome option for sleeping during the brightness of Reykjavík’s long summer nights. There is a swimming pool next door and the city’s main shopping area is nearby.

Once your tour is booked, it is safely in our hands. We will only ask for you assistance in understanding your concert requirements and you will be responsible for ensuring that the dates on our checklist are adhered to. Until your departure, you simply need to prepare your musicians musically and compile the tour repertoire.
We understand that school music tours are considered as a reward or holiday for many groups and that where you stay is really important. All hotels and hostels we use are suitable for young music ensembles with many offering rehearsal space and instrument storage. Rooms are normally multi-bedded for students and twins, sometimes singles, for adults. Generally, rooms are en-suite.
The most pleasant times of year to come to Europe are May to September, therefore you may wish to consider this when planning your tour. Summer temperatures across Europe range from 18-35 degrees Celsius. European cities in winter can also offer many interesting cultural experiences that you may enjoy.
