OFF THE BEATEN PATH ICELANDIC ADVENTURES

Sure, Iceland is known for the Northern Lights, the Blue Lagoon and the colorful capital of Reykjavik. But there’s also an abundance of off the beaten path Icelandic adventures just waiting to be explored. Here are the hottest under the radar spots for all you nature lovers…

Seljavallalaug Pool This place may not be as remote as it once was, but it’s still considered a gem amongst Iceland’s glistening green mountain ranges. Taking the title as the oldest pool in Iceland, Seljavallalaug pool is situated between the famous Sel- jalandsfoss waterfalls and Skógafoss, which you can reach by driving 2 hours east of Reykjavik for some incredible panorama poolside views.

Skaftafell National Park Skaftafell National Park comprises of 400-500 square kilometres of rugged landscape, glaciers, mountains and a whole load of fauna and flora. The magnetic mountains were established in 1967 and are now used as camping grounds and hiking hills. Standing as Europe’s second largest park this may not be a ‘hidden gem’ but you’re sure to find many secluded active volcanoes, mighty glaciers, powerful rivers and endless flat sandy plains.

Fjaðrárgljúfur Canyon This breathtakingly beautiful canyon is by far one of the country’s most picturesque places. Translated as the ‘Feather River Canyon’, the majestic scenery really doesn’t get the bucket list must attention it deserves, but this most definitely makes it a novelty to explore. The 100m deep, 2km long canyon is just a short trip off the iconic Ring Road in southeast Iceland, making it well worth the short detour.

Hofsós swimming Pool Arguably the most beautiful swimming pool set up in Iceland, Hofsós infinity pool is situated amongst some serious views. Located in the tiny town on the Tröllaskagi, a peninsula in the North of Iceland, the set up enables you to take a relaxing swim whilst admiring the fjord that surrounds it. Designed by the same architect responsible for the famous Blue Lagoon, Hofsós swimming pool is like it’s cooler, understated sibling.

Gljúfrabúi There’s no doubt you’ll come across a waterfall or two on your Icelandic escapades. But if you’re looking for a waterfall away from the tourist traps, Gljúfrabúi is your answer. The hidden treasure may be located right next to the popular waterfall Seljalandsfoss, however to geta to Gljúfrabúi you need to take a short walk back into the canyon. And there you will find a cave-like space which is said to be extremely peaceful.

Lake Thingvallavatn With a total of 150 types of plants and 50 kinds of invertebrates, the fertile lake is full of life and offers absolutely incredible views. Iceland’s largest lake stands at 84 sq. km and plays as an important refuelling stop for migrating birds. The lake lies partially within Þingvellir National Park in southwest Iceland. Siglufjordur The historical village full of candy colored houses was once the booming fishing capital of Iceland. Located on the northern coast, the town still has its fishing roots intact, but its charismatic charm and dramatic backdrop is what really makes it worth the visit.

Asbyrgi National Park Located far off Route 1, Asbyrgi National Park is pretty much off the scale in terms of its size and wow factor. The 100m high cliffs fall into a 3.5km long, 1km wide pool. Surrounding itself with a forested national park, Asbyrgi National Park is often described as one of the most magical places in Iceland.

Does immersing yourself in nature at its finest, reconnecting with the environment, or witnessing the jaw-dropping sights our Earth has to offer sound up your alley? All of these come in the form of the 7 Natural Wonders of the World...

THE NORTHERN LIGHTS The ‘Aurora Borealis’, or as it’s more commonly known ‘The Northern Lights’, is an incredible display of glowing colors that light up the night sky. Book a trip up north to the Scandinavian countries, Canada, Alaska or Scotland, to witness this magical sight of a lifetime.

MOUNT EVEREST While Mount Everest may be one of the most famous wonders, there is really no ‘wonder’ as to why it is perhaps the least visited of them all. The tallest peak on the planet is said to have over 200 bodies on it, from years of failed attempts to conquer under its harsh conditions at an altitude of over 8,800m. Call us today to find out how you can get get a glimpse of that magnificent mountain located in the Himalayas.

THE GRAND CANYON Reaching 18 miles wide and over 270 miles long, the canyon is truly a sight to behold – whether it be from above on a helicopter, below on a mule or riaver raft tour, or by exploring its outer rims by foot or the glass Skywalk platform.

THE GREAT BARRIER REEF There are a ton of reasons why Australia’s Great Barrier Reef makes the list. The reef is HUGE. One of the most popular tourist destinations ever, this wonder boasts over 900 tropical islands, beautiful beaches, scenic helicopter or boat trips, and some of the best snorkelling and diving in the world. With its crystal clear waters teeming with colorful coral and tropical sea life it’s not hard to see why.

PARÍCUTIN Another of Mother Earth’s creations making the list is the Paricutin Volcano located in Mexico. Paricutin erupted in 1943 where it then rose to four-fifths of its final 424m height in that first year alone. The volcano remained active for the following nine years before its death in 1952. This was the only occurrence in history where mankind was able to witness the birth and lifespan of a volcano, making Paricutin unique.

HARBOR OF RIO DE JANEIRO Rio de Janeiro means ‘River of January’ – a name given to it by the explorers who discovered it in the month of January. These explorers were astounded by the large, odd-shaped mountains that surrounded the balloon-shaped bay, and the great granite peak on the peninsula; what is now famously known as ‘Sugarloaf Mountain’ at the mouth of Guanabara Bay.

VICTORIA FALLS Victoria Falls is the largest waterfall or greatest curtain of falling water in the world. Located on the Zambezi River in Africa, the falls were once called ‘the Smoke that Thunders’ by local tribes and it’s not hard to understand why. The noise produced from the masses of falling water at a height of over 100m can be heard from a distance of 40km. What better display of beauty is there than the lush African rainforest surrounding the powerful majesty of Victoria Falls? CALL US TODAY TO CREATE YOUR BUCKET LIST VACATION!

Like the rare pink diamonds dug from the eastern Kimberley, an expedition cruise through one of the world’s last true wilderness areas is exclusive and intimate. The coastline is so pristine, dinosaur footprints still smatter the rocks. Its oceans are so untouched, whales nurse their young in its warm waters. The living indigenous culture is so ancient, no other can match it.

Discover small-group expedition cruising in the Kimberley!

Departure Dates: Available March 2019 through September 2019

*Valid for new bookings only made through September 30, 2018. Must quote M360Kimberley at time of booking.

DISCOVER THE BEAUTY OF JAPAN Japan is a study in contrasts: tranquil retreats of profound beauty lay just outside cities where skyscrapers soar over stunning temples and shrines. Neon-bright architecture and pink cherry blossoms vie for attention amid the colorful Harajuku district and traditional kimonos. As the No. 1 North American cruise line in Japan with the “Best Asia Itineraries,” you can be assured that Princess® will be your guide to the colors, cultures and flavors that define this exciting country.

UNIQUE EXPERIENCES Learn the ways of samurai warriors with a visit to Nagoya’s medieval castle. Enjoy an authentic “yakiniku” lunch in Sakaiminato. Observe as skilled artisans use native Tochigi bark, iron-rich mud and their own unique vision to create delicate pieces of pongee silk in Amami Oshima. Japan is a land of festivals, and on select sailings you can experience the mesmerizing spectacle known as the Awa Odori Dance Festival in Tokushima or get an up-close look at the exquisite parade floats used in Aomori’s annual Nebuta festival. ONBOARD ENRICHMENT The journey is as extraordinary as the destination when you travel to Japan with Princess® – awarded “Best Cruise Line in Asia.” From the time you step on board, you’ll be surrounded by a wide variety of Japanese sights, sounds and flavors. Delight in the 400-year-old tradition of comic storytelling known as “rakugo.” Join in an evening of karaoke and watch folkloric dancers bring Japanese culture to life. Watch Japanese-inspired films with Movies Under the Stars®. Indulge in delicious regional dishes from the Noodle Bar or freshly prepared sushi. Sample spirited drinks such as fine Japanese whiskeys, sake and shochu.
