Adventure Canada: Wonders of Europe

February 17, 2022

Adventure Canada allows its guests to discover some of Europe’s best kept secrets, thanks to European expeditions scheduled for 2023 that will explore rich cultures and mystical landscapes across North Atlantic Europe.

An immersion in history among the Standing Stones, the Brochs, the ruins and castles of Scotland, mighty volcanoes, caves, cliffs and fjords in Iceland’s geological paradise.
Some of the most beautiful places to visit in Scotland and Iceland include:

A zodiac cruise to Fingal’s cave on the island of Staffa.

There is a small island in the heart of the Inner Hebrides that possesses almost all of the Scottish things you could ever hope to see. That island is called Staffa and you will find it en route to the much more famous islands of Iona and Mull. Although initially humble in appearance, Staffa is steeped in geology, history, archeology, mythology and music. And if that wasn’t enough, it is home to many seabirds, including a small colony of puffins.

Callanish Standing Stones

The Isle of Lewis in Scotland is home to the Callanish Standing Stones, one of the best preserved and most complete Neolithic monuments in Europe. The purpose, construction and significance of these megaliths may be a mystery, but one thing is certain: they are a must see on a Scotland Slowly expedition!
