Our conservation projects allow students to get hands-on experience working on a wildlife project.  We work with selected charity partners who are speciailists in their conservation field. Their expert guidance enables our teams to take part in impactful conservation projects.

We have a variety of conservation options that teams can get involved in during the expedition. This can include nature park maintenance, habitat renovation work, and specific species projects.

Our expeditions also include local interest visits, providing educational opportunities, as well as an insight into Iceland’s heritage, history and people.  These visits can include trips to:

• Westerman Islands – boat journey to the islands, with an ascent of a dormant volcano
• Gulfoss and Geysir – a vist to the beautiful falls and to see famous geyser
• Jökulsárlón – the opportunity to travel among the icebergs
• Þingvellir – a chance to stand astride a fault line that runs the length of the Atlantic
• Hot Springs visit – there are many hot springs to visit and a trip to Iceland is not complete with out this relaxing experience
• Reykjavik – experience the vibrant, hardy culture of Iceland’s capital city

There are two options for the trekking phase. Both routes will see teams camping  and self-sufficient for the duration of their time in the field.

The first is an exploration of the NW Peninsula and involves an amazing internal flight from Reykjavik to Isafjordur, and then a boat trip to the uninhabited peninsula.  Whilst on the peninsula the team will climb mountains, some still with snow and venture on to a glacier. If time and weather permits, they will journey to one of the isolated fiords and bathe in a natural hot pool beneath the backdrop of a towering ice capped mountain.

The second is to trek the Laugavegur Trail, a distance of 77km through the stunning and varied landscape of rhyolite mountains, gorges, wide valleys and glaciers.  It is considered one of the most spectacular treks in the world.
