Breathtaking Iceland - Seeking the Northern Lights
We love...
Relaxing at the famous Blue Lagoon. Slather on a mineral-rich silica mud mask and soak in the geothermal waters with a complimentary drink.
How many otherworldly sights can you see in five days? On this introduction to the ‘Land of Fire and Ice’ we keep a nightly watch for the magical Northern Lights, while seeing snow-capped volcanoes, crashing waterfalls and magnificent glaciers by day. We marvel at the Strokkur fountain geyser, sometimes 30m high. We relax in the silky waters of the Blue Lagoon. And in the capital, Reykjavík, we witness the enormous Hallgrímskirkja (Church of Hallgrímur), a unique landmark in a country brimming with surprises. Our Iceland short breaks are fantastic for first-time visitors to this beautiful island.

Excursions & visits: Tour in search of Northern Lights and Eldhestar horse park (afternoon)
Day 2 - Hella - Vík - Skógar
Today we travel through the farmlands and mountains of southern Iceland, the region where one of the best-known of the 13th-century heroic prose, Njál’s Saga, is set. Pass the snow-capped volcanoes of Hekla and Eyjafjallajökull on our way. The Seljalandsfoss and Skógarfoss waterfalls, tumbling over high rock escarpments and the little village of Vík, with its black sand beach are among the highlights. Just off the coast you’ll see the dramatic Reynisdrangar sea-stacks, which legend says are petrified trolls. We'll stop at Skógar to visit the Skógar Folk Museum, with its collection of restored turf-roofed houses, and pass the Sólheimajökull glacier. Before returning to Hella, we'll stop at the fascinating LAVA Centre to learn all about the earthquakes and volcanoes that have made Iceland what it is.

Day 3 - Hella - Gullfoss - Thingvellir - Reykjavík
We enjoy a tour of Iceland’s ‘Golden Circle’ today, taking in some of the country’s most impressive natural wonders and historic sites. We see the magnificent two-tiered Golden Falls at Gullfoss and the thermal area of Great Geysir with its numerous hot springs, fumaroles and geysers. Strokkur geyser erupts every 10 minutes or so, reaching up to 30 metres in height. We also visit Thingvellir, site of the world’s first democratic parliament, the Althing, which first met here in 930. Thingvellir National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the dramatic canyon running through the park is the dividing fault line between two of Earth’s tectonic plates. Later, we continue to Reykjavík.
