Iceland
It's the power of Icelandic nature to turn the ordinary into the extraordinary. A dip in a pool becomes a soak in a geothermal lagoon; a casual stroll can transform into a trek across a glittering glacier; and a quiet night may mean front-row seats to the Aurora Borealis curtains of light, or the soft, pinkish hue of the midnight sun. No place on Earth seems so alien, but perhaps no place is as pure a showcase for our planet’s most raw and active geological features as Iceland. It’s indescribably beautiful.
Northern Lights & Star Gazing
You are about to embark on a mission to see the Northern Lights, which are undoubtedly one of the most beautiful celestial displays found in nature. But up there, there are many other cosmic wonders waiting to be discovered. All you need to do is gaze skywards into the Arctic night canopy to explore the magic of countless stars and the moon itself. The tour not only sets out to find the legendary Northern Lights, we also use the opportunity to pinpoint some of the stars & constellations in the sky.
*Northern Lights are only available August 15-April 25. An alternate experience can be reserved for you if traveling outside of this time.
Blue Lagoon
Take a dip in the famous Blue Lagoon geothermal spa, truly one of the wonders of the world! Surrounded by immense lava fields, the seawater in the Blue Lagoon provides an oasis of relaxation. The sauna and steam rooms, carved into the lava rock, reflect the stunning landscape around the Blue Lagoon. The man-made waterfall works wonders on sore shoulders and stiff muscles. Includes access to the bathing area, silica mud mask, use of towel, and first drink of your choice.
Golden Circle Tour
Golden Circle tour is one of the most popular attractions in Iceland, see Strokkur erupting boiling water skywards at Geysir, feel the power of Gullfoss waterfall and discover the unique geology and history at Þingvellir.
