Rotterdam

The Blue Lagoon is located southeast of Reykjavík, near the fishing village of Grindavík, on the Reykjanes peninsula. A high-temperature geothermal field supplies the Reykjanes district with hot water and steam to run a power plant, and it is the mineral-rich overflow water from this operation that fills the bathing lagoon. The geothermal water is pumped up from 6,000 feet below the earth's surface. High levels of silica, minerals and algae give the Blue Lagoon its rich, blue color and also form a light natural sediment on the bottom.

From Reykjavík you will drive over the Mosfellsheidi Heath to beautiful Thingvellir National Park -- a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a primary site of Iceland's geological and historic heritage.

From Reykjavík, you will drive across the Mosfellsheidi Heath to beautiful Thingvellir National Park -- a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a primary site of Iceland's geological and historic heritage. Walk through a massive geological fault to the place where Europe's oldest national legislative assembly, the Icelandic Althing, was established in AD 930. Astonishingly, it convened here in grandiose surroundings every summer for nearly eight centuries.

The Reykjavík capital area consists of seven municipalities with approximately 190,000 inhabitants. With plenty of space, clean air and natural green energy, Reykjavík clearly revels in its reputation as being one of the most modern, forward-thinking societies in Europe. The city's 'Pure Energy' slogan says it all.

This is a predominantly green-focused tour that circles the active 2,635-foot Hengill Volcano, located just a couple of miles from Reykjavík. Hengill last erupted approximately 2,000 years ago, but its numerous natural hot springs, colorful steam vents and fumaroles still dot the surrounding landscape. Hengill produces hydro and geothermal power, which provide the capital with plentiful hot water and electricity.

This is an excellent opportunity for horse experts and novices alike to enjoy horseback riding in the Icelandic countryside on the famous breed of Icelandic pony. It is a purebred descendent of the horses brought to Iceland by the Vikings more than 1,000 years ago. Hardy, sure-footed and friendly by nature, Icelandic horses are extremely pleasant to ride.

Surrounded by beautiful mountains on one side and gently rolling hills on the other, it's hard to imagine that Reyðarfjörður was home to Iceland's second largest Allied base during World War II and filled with British military personnel. Remnants of the old camp can still be seen above the town.

Board a motor coach for the 30-minute drive to Egilsstaðir. Continue to the trailhead, passing Lagarfljot, Iceland's third-largest lake which lies 330 feet below sea level and is home to a legendary creature along the same lines as the Loch Ness monster. Once you reach Hengifoss Waterfall -- Iceland's third-highest fall at 394 feet -- the path ascends 1½ miles to the base of the falls, traveling through a basalt gorge.

With your guide you will hike up to a part of the Vestdalur Valley near Seyðisfjörður. The valley is a protected nature reserve due to its remarkable flora. Eventually you’ll reach the abandoned buildings of the former town of Vestdalseyri. The town was inhabited for roughly a century (1851-1963). Originally there was a whaling station and it was home to one of the largest cooperatives in the country. Despite its beautiful and sunny location, the town declined steadily, with the last inhabitant leaving in 1963.

Leaving Seyðisfjörður, your coach follows the winding road uphill and over the impressive Fjarðarheiði mountain pass to Egilsstaðir -- a town of about 2,000 inhabitants and the commercial center of eastern Iceland.

The Borgarfjörður Estuary lies in an isolated valley and you'll reach it by way of a panoramic drive across the Fljotsdalsherad Plain. The high point of the road is at Vatnsskard Pass, some 1,200 feet above sea level. From here, there is a splendid view down into the neighboring Njardvik Bay.

Your journey begins with a drive to Þórarinsstaðir for a look at an important archeological site complete with artifacts from the earliest years of Iceland's settlement.

Ålesund is one of the few Art Nouveau towns left in the world. This lovely and unique coastal city can best be enjoyed on foot.

The coastal city of Ålesund, with a population of 41,000, is the commercial capital of the More-Romsdal District. The city boasts one of Norway's largest fishing harbors, with a rich and lively history behind it, including a devastating fire in 1904 which gave rise to a popular expression of surprise in Norway, "I haven't heard anything like that since Ålesund burned down." The fire left 10,000 people homeless and destroyed the whole city center. Ålesund was rebuilt in Art Nouveau style with building materials from all over Europe. It is now one of very few Art Nouveau towns in the world, and inhabitants and visitors alike value its atmosphere and distinctive character.

Then, head out of town to the Atlantic Sea Park situated along the oceanfront at Tueneset. The park occupies 1½ acres of coastal scenery with fishing spots, hiking trails, swimming sites and outstanding diving venues. The Atlantic Sea Park contains exhibition space and is the largest aquarium in Scandinavia. It is uniquely built into coastal surroundings and adapted to modern exhibition principles. Large landscape aquariums teem with life direct from the ocean, with an emphasis on the western regions. you can see what the marine life is like under the ferry quay, in the ocean current, between islets and skerries, and in the depths of Storfjord. Enjoy watching the huge fish and discover the 'silver of the sea'.

A Dutch-speaking guide leads this tour (or a guide with a Dutch interpreter). A limited number of Dutch guides and interpreters are available in this port; book early to avoid disappointment. This is not a bilingual tour; please see Romsdal & the Troll Path for the same tour guided in English.

The island of Giske is known as the birthplace of the famous Viking King Gangerolv, or Rollo, who conquered Normandy in AD 911 and was the antecedent of William the Conqueror. With its powerful families, the island was a seat of power in the Viking Age. Watch for the Giske Chapel -- a very simple and starkly beautiful Roman marble church dating from 1135. The church was built as a private place of worship for the famous Giske Viking family and its interior was restored in 1756. It is surrounded by old headstones and a manicured lawn.

Your day begins with a visit to the Norwegian Mountaineering Center -- a living activity center opened in 2016. Once a pursuit of the wealthy elite, climbing is now a popular activity for a broad spectrum of Norwegians. The diverse interpretive installations here chart the sport's development. Watch a 15-minute movie showcasing extreme outdoor activities in the spectacular Romsdal Mountains.

Woldstad Farm is beautifully situated on Isfjord and has been owned and operated by the Woldstad family since 1654. The farm consists of 12 buildings, ranging from a boathouse to the summer barn, set high in the mountains. Some of the buildings date back to the 1500s.

This spectacular scenic drive takes you along Romsdalsfjord which melds into Innfjord. The road follows the shoreline through several villages to Tresfjord for a photo stop.

Your destination today is the great Atlantic Ocean Road -- a five-mile series of bridges and causeways zigzagging from island to island, right out to where the mainland ends and the great ocean begins. The overwhelming might and majesty of the ocean is brought home to you here, and it's quite an unforgettable vista and easily one of the most scenic drives in the world.

Setting off from the beautifully-situated village of Åndalsnes, you'll head along the Rauma River as mountains rise up dramatically on both sides. Mount Romsdalshorn, at 5,000 feet is on one side, with Trolltindane at 5,100 feet on the other. You'll drive close to the famous Troll Wall, with its vertical, overhanging wall.

A Dutch-speaking guide leads this tour (or a guide with a Dutch interpreter). A limited number of Dutch guides and interpreters are available in this port; book early to avoid disappointment. This is not a bilingual tour; please see Waterfalls & Nature for the same tour guided in English.

Kayaking is a wonderful way to immerse yourself in nature. A fun and easy activity that offers breathtaking scenery with gentle exercise. A short walk with your instructor will bring you to a small beach where your adventure begins. After a safety briefing, board your kayak and glide into the calm waters with your paddle in hand.

Your tour starts with a drive through the spectacular and steep Måbødalen Valley. The road leads to the huge Hardanger Mountain Plateau -- actually the largest mountain plateau in Northern Europe. It is also part of Norway's largest National Park.

Drive through the village of Eidfjord before you continue up the steep Måbødalen Valley. The old road to the top was once only four miles, made up of an alarming series of hairpin bends carved precariously into the mountainside. Today there is a new route -- appreciably safer, albeit less thrilling. It leads to the enormous Hardanger Mountain Plateau -- the largest mountain plateau in Northern Europe and one of the few places in Norway where wild reindeer herds still live untended. Keep your eyes peeled; but they are elusive creatures -- brilliantly camouflaged and thus seldom seen.

From Reykjavík you will drive over the Mosfellsheidi Heath to beautiful Thingvellir National Park -- a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a primary site of Iceland's geological and historic heritage. It was here in AD 930 that the Vikings formed the Althingi -- the oldest parliament in the world still in existence today.

Your yellow 'bus' starts out on land and takes you on a panoramic drive through the Netherlands' second city. Watch for the highlights, including the modern architecture of the Weena building situated in the business district. This is a splendid example of art-meets-commerce -- a common theme in Rotterdam. View the Café Rotterdam, Schouwburgplein, Kop van Zuid, and Coolsingel with the Town Hall and central Post Office,

Head out on a scenic journey along the IJssel and enjoy the typical Dutch landscape. Your first stop will be as a 17th century Cheese farm in the countryside. Here you will see firsthand how cheese is made and how you can recognize a 'real Gouda cheese'. You will also have an opportunity to sample some of the cheeses.

Discover Rotterdam's cultural and culinary delights on a guided tour of the city by bicycle.

The tulip has become a revered symbol of the Netherlands. Keukenhof town is the middle of the most important bulb-growing area in Holland. Originally, the area surrounding Keukenhof was used for hunting and for collecting herbs for the castle -- hence the name Keukenhof, meaning 'the kitchen garden'.

The windmills of Kinderdijk, built in the 1700s, are collectively a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The 19 windmills that remain intact today are lined up along the riverfront, and were used to pump rising water to the canal and thus keep the village dry. Incidentally, the name of this charming village comes from the time of the St Elisabeth flood in 1421, when the villagers found a baby (kind) on the dike (dijk).

Your excursion starts from the pier in Eidfjord -- a charming village at the head of the fjord built on sand and gravel moraines from the last major Ice Age, some 8,000 years ago. Your coach follows the road along the River Eid, well known for excellent trout and salmon fishing.

Starting off from the pier in Eidfjord, a scenic drive will take you along the fjord with a short stop at the viewpoint in Bu for photos. On your way to the village of Ulvik, you will drive over the new Hardanger Bridge -- the longest suspension bridge in Norway and one of the longest suspension bridges in the world. Ulvik is a small community with around 650 inhabitants, famous for its cultivation of various fruits, including apples and is the second most important fruit-growing municipality in Norway.

The village of Eidfjord has only about 1,000 inhabitants; however, due to its production of hydroelectric power, it is one of Norway's wealthiest communities.

Departing Exmouth by coach, your first stop will be at the communication towers at the Harold Holt Naval Base. Here, you’ll also see a replica of the one-man submarine used during World War II. Continue to the lighthouse, complete with an air raid warning tower, for magnificent views over the ocean and Exmouth. Next, visit the Jurabi Turtle Centre to learn about these age-old creatures and hopefully you’ll see them on the beach. After a quick stop at Bundegi Beach to snap some photos, return to Exmouth township where your guide will provide a commentary about the history of the town and the points of interest you pass on a brief panoramic drive. Proceed to Charles Knife Gorge where you will see a beautiful limestone plateau, compressed sand and the remnants of a shallow sea.

Cape Range National Park, on the west coast of Australia's North West Cape, includes a number of gorges and limestone ridges. The most spectacular of these is Yardie Creek Gorge -- your destination today.

Ningaloo Reef is known as one of the world's most desirable snorkel destinations. Step aboard a boat for dazzling views into the depths of a limpid sea as you cruise the crystal-clear waters of Ningaloo.

Drive out to Tantabiddi Boat Ramp and collect some snorkel gear for the day. Board a boat here for a ride out to the first snorkel site. Enjoy the warm waters of the Indian Ocean as you swim among the local sea life.
