Day description
Depart in the morning or afternoon. The flight to Iceland takes approximately three hours, and on arrival, a coach transfer will take you to your hotel in Reykjavík. You will have time to check in and settle in before the evening’s Northern Lights experience.
As darkness falls, you leave Reykjavík with a small group and an experienced guide to experience the Icelandic winter landscape beyond the city. Far from the city lights, you will learn more about the Northern Lights and enjoy the special feeling of being out in the dark winter landscape. During the evening, warm up with hot chocolate and a sweet treat while looking up at the sky. If the Northern Lights make an appearance, it will be a magical end to your first day in Iceland.
Highlights:
After breakfast at the hotel, you set off on a full-day tour of the Golden Circle lasting around seven hours. In the geothermal area around Geysir, Strokkur shoots a jet of hot water 15 to 20 metres into the air every few minutes.
You continue to Gullfoss waterfall, where the River Hvítá plunges 32 metres in two stages, roughly the height of a ten-storey building. In Þingvellir National Park, you can walk along the Almannagjá ravine. Here, the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates are slowly moving apart, and movement in the Earth’s crust has shaped the ravine and the large fissures in the ground.
On the way back to Reykjavík, you stop at Kerið, a crater lake surrounded by steep slopes of reddish-brown volcanic rock. The blue-green water stands out against the colours of the crater.
After a day of geysers, waterfalls and volcanic landscapes, you return to Reykjavík and have the evening to yourself.
Highlights:
After breakfast, you travel to Hvammsvík, a geothermal bathing area by the sea, with warm pools and views across the fjord. Here, you can relax in one of eight naturally heated pools, with temperatures ranging from around 35°C to over 40°C.
You can move between the different pools and, if you like, take a cold dip in the Atlantic right beside them. There is also a steam room. From the pools, you can look out across the Icelandic landscape.
After your bath, you return to Reykjavík and have time to explore the city at your own pace before the evening’s food tour. At 5 pm, you meet a local guide for a food tour around the city centre. You sample traditional Icelandic dishes and other local specialities while the guide tells you about the food and the places you pass.
Highlights:
For those on the three-night trip, it is time to travel home. A transfer picks you up from the hotel in time for your flight.
With an extra night, you have a full day in Reykjavík instead. You can enjoy a relaxed morning in the city, visit a museum, browse the shops and cafés or see more of the city’s sights.
Why not visit one of Reykjavík’s geothermal pools and experience Icelandic bathing culture? Another option is to go whale watching from the harbour or ride an Icelandic horse through the countryside just outside the city.
You can also take the day as it comes, with plenty of time to explore Reykjavík at your own pace.
Highlights:
After a final breakfast at the hotel, it is time to leave Reykjavík and travel home. You are picked up from the hotel in time for your flight and take the coach transfer to the airport.
You return home with memories of Icelandic landscapes, geothermal baths, local flavours and, if conditions were right, the Northern Lights over the dark winter landscape.
