Adventure Tours in Iceland

I truly went inside Iceland, I did not just do the superficial or touristy stuff, I felt that I truly went inside and deep into Iceland. I went from the most common city, to some truly unique places. I truly lived Iceland.

This trip was amazing for many reasons, though I think the best part about it was that I didn’t feel like anything was left out. I feel as though every day was full of things today and there was rarely any time when I was bored or dissatisfied!

This trip was breathtaking, it not only helped me to create lifelong friends, but helped me to create memories I’ll cherish my whole life. Going into this trip I was quite nervous to be traveling alone. Luckily, the staff and my fellow travelers helped more than I can put into words

My trip to Iceland was the first time being away from home for that amount of time, and was definitely way out of my comfort zone. Meeting the counselors and other teens was really easy to do and didn’t feel forced or awkward. As for the activities, everything was really fun to do and despite some of them being out of my comfort zone as well, such as horseback riding and glacier hiking.

My Putney Iceland trip was an amazing experience I will never forget. I made many great friends and memories I will never forget. Through Putney’s guidance I was also able to see great personal growth in myself.

I had the most amazing experience on my trip with TFT. Any problems or issues we faced the team members from TFT fixed it right away. They were extremely flexible, listened and extremely funny. This experience made me realize how much I truly love travel! I loved all the different excursions and experiences that TFT offered!

I went on the “Europe for Older Teens: Iceland Adventure”. This was my second trip with TFT and I am so glad that I picked this one. Iceland has always been on my bucket list (of course the blue lagoon more specifically). But I never thought I could get so much out of a trip. I was able to learn so much about Iceland that I never knew about and I don’t think I ever would have known. What I liked so much about this trip is that I didn’t feel like just a tourist going around and looking at cool places and exhibits but I was able to actually experience it. I was able to experience the main town of Reykjavik but also the small little towns that I think get forgotten about a lot of the time, most times these are the cutest. This was the summer before I left for college and while I have been on a TFT trip before I still get very nervous with new people, but just like before I was worrying about nothing. I had four amazing counselors that always made sure we had everything we needed and were always there for me to talk, they never made me feel like I didn’t matter and it made me trust them so much more and made me see them not only as people to tell me rules but as my friends and people I could count on. Of course the teens were amazing and again I had nothing to worry about, I made amazing friends most I still keep in contact with today and this made the trip so much more fun because not only was I experiencing amazing sites but I was doing it with amazing people beside me. I absolutely loved this trip and cannot recommend it enough. You are able to see so many different parts of Iceland and also be able to learn lessons and have experiences that you will never forget (I certainly didn’t).

My name is Kenzie and I went on the Iceland Photography Trip in 2022. It's safe to say that it was one of the best experiences of my life. The big thing that impacted my trip was the two adults Simon and Tilda because they taught me so many things about photography and their humor and jokes and way of running the trip made it so special. I also met some lifelong friends on the trip. I am not a very extroverted person but by day 3 of the trip, we were all like a family. We shared so many amazing experiences and some tough ones on the trip that really bonded us. The itinerary for the trip was phenomenal. There was not a day that I didn't enjoy or that I was bored. We went to so many spectacular places that immersed us in Icelandic culture and made us appreciate the beauty of our Earth. Overall the Icelandic Photography Trip changed my life for the better and I met some of the most amazing people and saw the most breathtaking places!

I loved my trip to Iceland with TFT. It’s an intensely beautiful country and it was great to travel by bus. I could watch mountains, shoreline, and mossy lava fields go by out the window while hanging out with my friends and queuing up music for the speaker. Plus everyone loved our bus driver. I thought the trip was organized with a nice balance of planned activities, like the glacier hike or horseback riding, and free time where my friends and I could wander around a town, watch the sunset from a hill, or lose to some Icelandic school kids in basketball. My counselors were great, the kind of people you could trust to lead the trip but could also paint their nails or challenge to arm wrestling. It was an adventure and I feel lucky to have gone.

The Travel for Teen’s Iceland Trip was truly one of the coolest experiences of my whole life. The schedule of activities are thoroughly planned out and really gave me the true Icelandic experience. From swimming in the blue lagoon, to hiking Europe’s biggest glacier (Vatnajokull), to riding native Icelandic horses through the countryside, I really do think I did everything Iceland had to offer. Along with a wonderful itinerary, the counselors were awesome and were very good at supporting my fellow campers and I throughout the trip. I strongly suggest TFT to any teen who craves adventure and a different perspective of the world because that is exactly what they provide you with.

I was lucky enough to travel to Iceland with TFT the first summer they ran the program (summer 2017), and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Traveling the ring road of Iceland proved to be the best way to see all of Iceland and what it has to offer. Though I was unable to pronounce half of the places we visited, it was extremely special to travel to small towns like Seydisfjordur and Stykkisholmur that most tourists to Iceland don’t get to see. Iceland is a truly unique and special country, and this trip provided me with the opportunity to see all of the famous, breathtaking waterfalls, while also allowing me to kayak in the fjords, from a town of less than 500 people. Whether it was hiking on glaciers or swimming in between continental plates in the Silfra fissure, this trip never failed to amaze me.

Iceland is such a beautiful country, it was almost like another world. This trip was action packed and we got to see a lot of what this gorgeous country has to offer. We got to drive around the entire ring road, which not even a lot of locals have done. It was always exciting to see the changing scenery day after day. From its spectacular waterfalls, to its glistening glaciers and toasty hot springs, Iceland has something for everyone! I enjoyed every day while on the trip and every activity we did was exhilarating. Iceland is defiantly a one of a kind country and I recommend everyone to visit it at least once in their life!

I went to Iceland in the summer on 2017 and had an amazing experience!! From visiting beautiful waterfalls to playing soccer with locals, the trip was action packed. A few of my favorite memories are horseback riding under the midnight sun and snorkeling between the tectonic plates. The fourth of July happened to fall while we were abroad and our group celebrated by going to a nearby waterfall, eating cake and playing frisbee. Everyone on the trip became super close, which made the vibe even better!! My counselors were great and always looking out for our best interest. I highly recommend this trip if you're looking to see some extraordinary views and immerse yourself in a new culture.

This was my first time traveling abroad alone without my family. I have always wanted to travel to Iceland. Travel for Teens had a great itinerary and covered all of the most iconic destinations and waterfalls that Iceland has to offer. Along with traveling to all of the best locations they included a variety of super fun activities that I wouldn’t have found out about by myself. Before the trip I was worried about meeting new people and how the counselors would handle the teens and the trip as a whole. The counselors exceeded my expectations they made everything fun and made sure nobody was left out. They always made sure everyone and everything was accounted for. On travel days everything went smoothly, even though one of the teens suitcase was left by the airline in the USA the counselors talked to the airline and made sure he got his bag the next day. They handled everything so well. It was amazing to be able to meet teens from all around the world and to be able to experience a new country with them. It is a trip I will never forget and I am so excited to go on another trip next summer!
