Land of the Northern Lights

Day 1: Arrival Day

Individual transfer by Flybus shuttle bus from Keflavik airport to your accommodation in Reykjavik. You may explore Iceland’s capital city on your own if time allows.

Day 2: Reykjavik City Tour, Blue Lagoon & Reykjanes Peninsula

At 09:00, meet your tour guide, who will show the group the highlights of Iceland’s exciting capital. Then we head out to the Reykjanes Peninsula with its hot springs, mountains, moon-like landscape, bird cliffs, lighthouses and fishing villages. In the afternoon, we bathe in the Blue Lagoon.

Drive along the south coast to arrive in the village of Hella, where we stay for two nights in simple cottages. There is an option to upgrade to studio rooms at the Stracta Hotel in Hella.
We hear about the Northern Lights from our tour guide in the evening. So, naturally, you are out in the garden waiting for the Northern Lights once darkness falls.

Day 3: South Iceland with optional Glacier Hike

Today we travel along the south coast and reach the area beneath the Eyjafjallajökull volcano and glacier. Our first stop is at Seljalandsfoss waterfall, and we visit the Skógar folk museum of early Modern Iceland with its turf houses. At noon, we see the Skógarfoss waterfall.

You can book and pay for an optional glacier walk on the Sólheimajökull glacier tongue when booking the tour here on site or by sending us an email. The price per person is 110 EUR (subject to availability). The duration of the tour is 3 hours, the time on the ice is 1-1,5 hours.

Suppose you book a trip without the glacier hike. In that case, the tour continues further south, where you walk on the famous Black Lava Beach at Reynisfjara and observe the Cap of Dyrhólaey and the Reynisdrangar Sea Cliffs before visiting the charming village of Vík.
In the evening there is another presentation about the Northern Lights. If the night is clear, you might see the Northern Lights swirling in a wild and carefree dance across the heavens in dramatic shapes, colours, patterns and sizes.

Day 4: Golden Circle & Visit Icelandic Horses

We learn about the Icelandic horse, its unique qualities and history, and visit a geothermal greenhouse in the morning. Then we travel the Golden Circle route, see steam rising from the Geysir geothermal fields and admire the double waterfall of Gullfoss. Finally, we end the afternoon at Þingvellir National Park, the location of the ancient Viking Parliament and UNESCO World Heritage Site.

An optional Northern Lights evening cruise can be booked for this day if the weather conditions are right.
