Iceland 2.0: Pufflings and the Western Reaches
August 25 - September 4, 2026
An information session about this tour will be held on Zoom on Thursday, December 4 at 7:00pm.
The Iceland Ring Road Tour is a perennial Samantha Trips favorite, and so by popular demand we have created Iceland 2.0! This new adventure explores the wild, less-traveled beauty of Western Iceland, from gorgeous Snaefellsnes Peninsula to the uninhabited Icelandic Highlands and volcanic, puffin-filled Westman Islands. Featuring our same popular guide but all new activities and sights, travelers will get up close and personal with pufflings (baby puffins!), enjoy personal experiences with Icelandic farmers, fishermen, and craftspeople, experience dramatic coastlines by land and by sea, and walk, hike, and ride through unforgettable landscapes.
