Iceland Trip Information

Norfolk Public Library, Norfolk Council on Aging, and Norfolk Recreation are partnering with Collette Travel to offer an opportunity for a great trip to Iceland. Aidan from Collette Travel will join us to go over the trip, the cost, and other logistics. You are not required to sign up for the trip if you attend this information session.
Experience the “land of fire and ice” and chase the aurora borealis across an ethereal wonderland. In the dark of the night, search for the northern lights as you drift along on an evening starlit cruise. Travel the “Golden Circle,” home to renowned natural wonders, and spend time at Thingvellir National Park, gaze at Gullfoss waterfall, and see the explosive geothermal fields at Geysir. Explore Skógar Museum and see traditional turf-built homes. Walk on a black volcanic sand beach. See Jökulsárlón glacial lagoon filled with floating icebergs. Relax in the warm, mineral-rich water of the Blue Lagoon. Spend your days surrounded by natural wonders and your nights in search of the elusive dancing lights.
