Iceland & the Northern Lights - 4 Nights

Our Icelandic adventure begins as we arrive in Iceland. On our way to Reykjavík, we visit the world-famous Blue Lagoon:

• One of Iceland's most iconic attractions
• Surrounded by dramatic volcanic landscapes, this natural geothermal spa is renowned for its mineral-rich waters
• Its striking blue colour is created by silica and other naturally occurring minerals

After our visit, we continue to our hotel in Reykjavík to settle in and prepare for the exciting days ahead.

This morning, we explore Reykjavík, Europe's northernmost capital, on a guided sightseeing tour.

We'll see many of the city's best-known landmarks, including:

• The official presidential residence
• Perlan (viewed from the outside)
• The striking Hallgrímskirkja Church
• Many more of Reykjavík's highlights

The afternoon is free for you to explore at your own pace.

Why not stroll along Laugavegur, Reykjavík's lively shopping street, browse its independent boutiques, or relax in one of the city's welcoming cafés and restaurants?

After dark, we leave the city lights behind and travel into the Icelandic countryside in search of the spectacular Northern Lights.

Also known as the Aurora Borealis, this remarkable natural phenomenon is one of the world's most unforgettable sights and a true highlight of our holiday.

Please note: Sightings of the Northern Lights are dependent on weather and atmospheric conditions and therefore cannot be guaranteed.

Today we experience Iceland's famous Golden Circle, home to some of the country's most spectacular natural wonders.

• Our journey begins at Þingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site
• This is where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates meet, creating a dramatic rift valley and beautiful landscapes
• We continue to the magnificent Gullfoss Waterfall, where glacial waters plunge into a rugged canyon
• Then, we visit the geothermal area of Haukadalur, where steaming vents and famous geysers showcase Iceland's extraordinary volcanic activity

Today is free for you to enjoy Reykjavík at your own pace. You may wish to:

• Take the lift to the top of Hallgrímskirkja Church for panoramic views across the city
• Visit one of Reykjavík's fascinating museums
• Relax while soaking up the atmosphere of Iceland's vibrant capital

Our guide will be happy to recommend places to visit and activities to suit our interests.

Today we bid farewell to Iceland after an unforgettable escape filled with extraordinary landscapes and natural wonders.

We transfer to the airport with guide assistance for our return flight home, taking with us wonderful memories of the Blue Lagoon, the Golden Circle, Reykjavík, and, hopefully, the magical Northern Lights.
