Next Door to Nature: Iceland's Northern Lights City Break

Day 1 Welcome to Reykjavik!

Upon arrival at Keflavik Airport, you'll board the non-guided scheduled tour bus for a transfer to the Blue Lagoon, where you can choose to bathe in its rich mineral waters (bathing fee is included), or simply take a walk in the area. Soothed and relaxed, take the Flybus shuttle from the Blue Lagoon to Reykjavik city center, and check in at your hotel. The remainder of the day and evening are at leisure.

Those who are arriving with flights that do match the schedule for the transfer via the Blue Lagoon can use this transfer on their departure day instead.

Day 2 Reykjavik

Experience a day tour to remember, packed with action and nature's discoveries! Discover three of the most outstanding attractions in the South of Iceland on a fully guided 4x4 super jeep excursion, then ride a snowmobile on the country's second largest glacier. The first stop is Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, which is one of Iceland's most significant historical sites, because it was there that Iceland's first parliament was founded in the year 930 AD.

From Thingvellir we head along mountain tracks toward the world-renowned geothermal area around Geysir hot spring, the one spouting hot spring on Earth after which all other spouting hot springs are named. From there we continue on to Gullfoss (the Golden waterfall) where your proximity to its edge is so close you can feel the spray of the glacial water on your face. Next we kick the action into higher gear to get even closer to Iceland's nature and go for a one-hour snowmobiling tour on Langjokull, Iceland's second largest glacier.

Day 3 Reykjavik

Enjoy the day at leisure, exploring the vibrant city of Reykjavik. Although the city is a metropolis in every sense, it's been carefully developed and crafted around a number of easily accessible recreational areas and country parks. With an extensive network of well-maintained footpaths winding through the city's numerous parks and nature reserves, you won't have to travel far to take a quick break from city life and explore nature.

This evening, you'll join a coach tour out of the city's bright lights, to hunt for the natural wonder of the Northern Lights, also known as Aurora Borealis. These are often seen dancing around in fantastic colors across the Arctic sky.

Day 4 Depart Reykjavik

Your Iceland adventure break comes to an end today! If you did not have the time to visit the Blue Lagoon upon arrival, you can enjoy a visit with your departure transfer. You'll depart from Reykjavik Airport.
