Uncover the Beauty of Blue Lagoon’s Highland Base Kerlingarfjöll in Iceland

If past trips to Iceland have focused on Reykjavik and nearby sites such as the steamy waters of the Retreat at Blue Lagoon, you may not be familiar with this iconic destination’s other hotel address: Highland Base Kerlingarfjöll, centrally located in an isolated mountain range in the country’s mountain region.

How to Explore Niagara This Fall

Many travelers are unaware Niagara is more than just world-famous waterfalls — or that autumn is an excellent time to explore the region. Since the falls are the main attraction, start with a Voyage to the Falls Boat Tour, taking in Niagara Gorge, American Falls and Bridal Veil Falls, with dynamic views of legendary Canadian Horseshoe Falls. Boats depart from the Lower Landing in the Great Gorge. New Whirlpool Jet Boat Tours blend the best of whitewater rafting with sightseeing during splashy Wet Jet Boat Tours — or you can opt for the dry option in a boat protected by a glass dome. Whatever your choice, boats launch from Water Street in Lewiston (safety-regulated height and age limits apply to participants).
