Aurora Nights & Iceland's Natural Wonders

Fly direct to Keflavik from a choice of regional airports. Transfer on arrival and check-in to the Hotel Klettur. Acquaint yourself with the historic city centre and enjoy dinner in any number of local restaurants. Don’t forget to sign up for the Northern Lights wake-up alert before retiring.

 

After breakfast you will meet your qualified, local guide and like-minded travellers, before heading to see the trio of sites known as the Golden Circle. Thingvellir National Park was the location for Iceland’s first parliament and where you can see the dramatic rift valley caused the movement of the American and Eurasian tectonic plates. Stop at the Geysir area where, amongst the bubbling fumaroles and hot springs, Strokkur spouts impressively every 5-10 minutes. Onwards to Gullfoss, the waterfall that plummets 32m before twisting and tumbling on down a steep canyon, beofre arriving at your country accommodation, the Hotel Vik, your base for the next 2 nights.

Evening hunt for the northern lights on one of the nights while staying in Vik (subject to suitable weather conditions).

 

Today is a full day tour to the Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon, passing many iconic sights along the way. After breakfast you will drive further along the southeast coast across bridges fording dramatic outwash plains, interspersed with black sand beaches and lava fields, before arriving at Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon. The luminous blue icebergs float in the lagoon for several years, gradually sculpting themselves into varying shapes before finally working their way out to sea.

Return to Vik via Skaftafell National Park on the southern edge of the mighty Vatnajökull Glacier.

 

 

The last call of the day is the Blue Lagoon and a bathe in the soothing milky blue waters before bidding farewell to your travel companions. Overnight at the Hotel Klettur.

 

Time to browse Reykjavik and do some last minute shopping before taking the airport shuttle transfer in time for your flight home.
