Our special winter tour takes you off to this beautiful north Atlantic country’s vibrant capital, Reykjavik with one very special evening at the Northern Lights Inn at the Blue Lagoon. You will have plenty of time while in Reykjavik to take advantage of its cultural life, or one of many easily accessible activities – super jeeps in the mountains, horseback riding, skiing or simply exploring in your own 4WD vehicle. Iceland, the Aurora Borealis and the Blue Lagoon all add together to make an unforgettable winter vacation.
Arrive early this morning at Keflavik International Airport in Iceland. A Flybus transfer is included to your accommodation in Reykjavik, where you will stay for the next two nights. This evening set off on a Northern Lights tour, in search of the aurora. This tour may be upgraded to a 4X4 tour or to include a lobster dinner in the countryside.
Today is free to explore. Take a city tour of Reykjavik or venture further afield on a Golden Circle tour, a glacier walk or a horseback riding tour. There are many optional activities available from the capital city. This evening indulge with a delicious meal at one of the many restaurants in the city. This evening make your way to the harbour to join the Northern Lights cruise and hunt for the aurora from the water. Should weather conditions not allow the boat to sail a bus tour will be substituted.
Enjoy a leisurely morning, then transfer from Reykjavik to the Blue Lagoon and Northern Lights Inn, located on the Reykjanes Peninsula, in the countryside near the town of Keflavik. Relax at the Blue Lagoon and treat yourself to an optional massage or spa treatment before checking in to the nearby hotel this afternoon. Chances of seeing the Northern Lights are excellent from this location without the city lights detracting from your view of the night sky.
