Iceland Winter Escape – Golden Circle, South Coast, Snæfellsnes & Northern Lights

Day 1: Arrival in Reykjavik

Welcome to Iceland. On arrival at Keflavik International Airport, our friendly representatives will meet you and transfer you directly to your hotel in the capital city, Reykjavik. Your accommodation will be in a 3-star hotel, conveniently located within easy reach of Reykjavik’s shops, restaurants and attractions. All rooms feature a private en-suite bathroom, satellite TV, and breakfast is included each morning.

After check-in, the rest of the day is yours to enjoy. Whether you take a gentle walk along the harbour, grab a bite in one of Reykjavik’s cosy cafés, or explore local highlights such as Hallgrímskirkja Church or the Sun Voyager sculpture, it’s a great opportunity to settle into the Icelandic atmosphere.

Day 2: The Golden Circle & Northern Lights Tour

After breakfast, you’ll head out on the classic Golden Circle Tour, one of Iceland’s best-loved routes, showcasing three of the country’s most remarkable natural sights.

Þingvellir National Park

A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Þingvellir is steeped in history and natural wonder. It’s where the world’s first parliament was formed in 930 AD, and where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates are slowly drifting apart. The dramatic rift valley and clear spring-fed waters make for a memorable start to the day.

Geysir Hot Springs

Next, you’ll visit the geothermal area of Geysir, home to bubbling mud pots and hot springs. The famous Strokkur geyser erupts regularly, shooting steaming water up to 30 metres into the air. The nearby Geysir Centre is a great place to stop for lunch or refreshments.

Gullfoss Waterfall

Your final Golden Circle stop is the powerful Gullfoss, a stunning glacial waterfall that plunges in two tiers into a rugged canyon. On sunny days, rainbows often form in the mist, and the nearby Langjökull Glacier can often be seen on the horizon.

After the tour, you'll return to Reykjavik with some time to rest, have dinner, or simply relax before setting off once again—this time in search of the Northern Lights.

Northern Lights Tour

There’s something magical about hunting the Aurora Borealis. These glowing waves of light—green, pink and sometimes purple—dance across the Arctic sky, creating a spectacle like no other. Our Northern Lights tours are led by expert guides trained to track and interpret forecasts. We’ll only go out if conditions look promising, and if you don’t see the lights the first night, you can join again on another night free of charge.

Day 3: South Coast & Black Sand Beaches

Today you’ll experience the beauty of Iceland’s South Coast, an area known for its dramatic landscapes, black sand beaches, glaciers and waterfalls.

Sólheimajökull Glacier

The tour begins with a drive past steaming geothermal fields and moss-covered lava as you head toward Sólheimajökull, a glacier tongue extending from the mighty Mýrdalsjökull ice cap. On clear days, you’ll enjoy views of Hekla and Eyjafjallajökull, two of Iceland’s most famous volcanoes. Your first stop will be at the glacier, where you’ll have time to take in its raw beauty and unique ice formations.

Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach

Next, explore Reynisfjara, one of Iceland’s most striking beaches. The black sand is set against basalt column cliffs, sea stacks, and roaring Atlantic waves. This is one of the country’s most photographed locations for good reason.

Vík Village

You’ll then continue to the small coastal village of Vík, the southernmost settlement in Iceland. There's time here to grab lunch, explore the town or do a bit of souvenir shopping at Icewear’s outlet.

Skógafoss Waterfall

On the journey back, stop at the iconic Skógafoss, a wide and powerful 60-metre waterfall. If you’re feeling energetic, climb the staircase to the top for sweeping views of the surrounding landscape.

Seljalandsfoss Waterfall

Your final stop is at Seljalandsfoss, famous for the path that leads behind the waterfall curtain—a rare and wonderful experience. On a sunny day, rainbows often dance across the mist.

Day 4: Snæfellsnes Peninsula – Iceland in Miniature

After a good night’s rest, your next adventure takes you west to the Snæfellsnes Peninsula, often called "Iceland in Miniature" because it features so many of the landscapes Iceland is known for—glaciers, volcanoes, cliffs, beaches and charming fishing villages.

Berserkjahraun Lava Field

The drive takes you through the Berserkjahraun lava fields, a moss-covered expanse with a fascinating name tied to Icelandic sagas.

Grundarfjörður & Kirkjufell

Stop at the fishing town of Grundarfjörður, where the distinctive Kirkjufell Mountain rises sharply above the landscape. It’s one of Iceland’s most iconic photo spots and a popular location for film and TV.

Djúpalónssandur Beach

Next is Djúpalónssandur, a beautiful black pebble beach with sea-sculpted lava formations and dramatic views over the ocean.

Arnarstapi & Snæfellsjökull

Visit Arnarstapi, a lovely coastal village with views of the Snæfellsjökull Glacier, famously featured in Jules Verne’s Journey to the Centre of the Earth. You’ll have time here to walk the clifftop paths or simply take in the stunning scenery. To round off the day, enjoy a home-cooked Icelandic meal in a local setting.

Day 5: Departure

Today is departure day. After breakfast and check-out, we’ll transfer you back to Keflavik Airport in time for your return flight to the UK. Hopefully, you’re heading home with incredible memories and some stunning photographs to match.
