On arrival at Keflavik International airport, you will meet our representatives and they will transfer you to your hotel in the Capital Reykjavik. Your 3* Hotel will be within easy reach of the cities attractions and have facilities like Satellite TV. All rooms have a private en-suite bathroom and breakfast is served each morning. After check-in the rest of the day is free for you to start discover beautiful Reykjavik.
For many, seeing the Northern Lights is the reason to travel to our northern island in winter. They are mesmerising, and a sight that will not be forgotten. It is simple, nothing says “Icelandic Winter” like the idea of hunting for the Aurora Borealis. Created by solar storms originating from the sun, the Northern Lights need clear winter skies to be seen.
Our expert operational team has decades of experience analysing weather patterns. We will review, each and every day, the cloud forecast and the northern lights forecast in detail. We will not venture out in search of them unless we think we have good chance. This means we have a high success ratio.
All our northern lights tours are guided by one of our specially trained northern lights guides, they are both knowledgeable and helpful and will even give you tips on how to take photos of the night sky and of aurora. We offer free use of camera tripods (a must to take northern lights photos), we only have a few so if you own a tripod be sure to bring it along.
Depending on your flight arrival time, we will book your Northern Lights on your first nights. If that’s not possible then we will book it for your second night.
The next morning we journey along the Golden Circle with its outstanding sights of Þingvellir National Park, where the first parliament was held in Iceland and the continental drift is visible. Continue to the Geysir geothermal area, where the spouting hot spring 'Strokkur' erupts every 5 - 7 minutes, and marvel at the Gullfoss waterfall cascading in two steps into a 35m deep canyon.
From Gullfoss, start your ultimate Glacier and Natural Ice Cave adventure in one of the Largest Glacier Trucks! The enthusiastic and knowledgeable guides will lead you through Langjökull Glacier's awe-inspiring landscape.
What’s fascinating is that natural ice caves form during the summer months and vary in form and appearance each year; simply speaking - they are unique in every sense of the word! The crystal-clear ice is often lined with black volcanic ash from eruptions long ago that are embedded in the glacier.
The first stop is Þingvellir National Park and UNESCO World Heritage site. Here the parliament of Iceland was established in the year 930 and continued to meet until 1798, when it was moved to Reykjavik. The area shows its geological importance with the huge rift valley, created by the drift of the mid-Atlantic ridge.
Continue to Geysir geothermal area with its colourful deposits of yellow sulphur, the red oxidized iron rocks, and light grey deposits of Silica. While the original Geysir remains dormant, witness Strokkur erupting every 4-8 minutes, shooting water up to 40 meters into the air. This dramatic display of nature's power is a sight you won't forget.
Then marvel at Gullfoss, the 'Golden Falls', that cascades into a deep gorge. Hear the roaring sound of the waterfall and feel the mist on your face. Sometimes you can see rainbows in the water spray.
Now it is time for the Sleipnir ICE cave and Glacier Adventure! We take the transfer bus from the upper Gullfoss parking area to meet the Gigantic Red Monster Glacier Truck and we course to Langjökull, known as the 'Long Glacier'. With every turn, a fresh, mesmerizing sight emerges. While this majestic location was inaccessible in the past, our Gigantic Red Monster Glacier Truck now provides a smooth and safe journey.
Listen to the knowledgeable guides and their interesting facts about glaciers, local stories, and folklore.
The truck will take you to a natural ice cave. Every ice cave is unique. Each season reveals a new and amazing ice wonder. Natural ice caves are sculpted by the ever-changing glacier. Due to Iceland's volcanic activity, the glaciers often contain black volcanic ash from eruptions centuries ago, frozen within the ice. Marvel at the glittering facets of the crystal-clear ice, black ash frozen in time, and the subtle blue hues of the denser ice.
It is a photographer's paradise, inside the ice cave, glittering walls and a calm atmosphere greet you. Outside, the large glacier and nearby views are just as stunning. We then will head back to Gullfoss waterfall to meet the bus that will bring you back to Reykjavik.
The next day,after breakfast we head south and traveling through lush farmlands with views of powerful volcanoes, glaciers and thundering waterfalls. Walk on a spellbinding glacier landscape on Sólheimajökull glacier. You will find a combination of expansive views, jagged peaks, blue glaciers, and wide-open sky provide a steady stream of awesome photographic opportunities.
First in a series of natural landmarks is Skógafoss waterfall, arguably the country‘s most iconic waterfall and one of south Iceland‘s star attractions. Viking legends tell of a treasure buried in a cave behind the waterfall.
From Skógafoss you travel east to Sólheimajökull glacier for a 1-hour walk in a spellbinding glacier landscape. Heading back to Reykjavik from Sólheimajökull your last but by no means the last is the iconic Seljalandsfoss waterfall where you can walk behind a curtain of water which is certainly a moment you’ll want to capture on camera.
The next day after check out from the hotel we transfer you back to the airport to catch your flight back to the UK. If you’re staying longer the day is yours to explore the city or why not book another tour, maybe after 2 action packed long days a rewarding soak in the Blue Lagoon or the Sky Lagoon could be just the thing.
Prices are based on 2 sharing and are based on London departures but we can offer this tour from the regional airports that serve Iceland. We can also offer this deal staying in your hotel of choice and upgrade to a 4* or we can offer apartments if you prefer. Please enquire.
