Northern Lights

On a dark winter night in Iceland, join a mysterious tour looking for the Aurora Borealis. Far from the glow of Reykjavik city, we hunt for the elusive Northern Lights.

From autumn until spring, during clear and cold dark nights, it's possible to witness one of nature's most incredible displays: the Northern Lights, also known as Aurora Borealis. On this evening tour we may be lucky enough to see them swirling and dancing across the sky changing endlessly colour, shape and size.


Golden Circle

One of the highlights of Iceland’s spectacular geography is the Golden Circle. We have arranged a full day tour where you will visit Thingvellir National Park, a remarkable historical and geological site, which is located by Lake Thingvallavatn, the largest lake in Iceland. The beautiful canyon running through the park is actually the meeting point of two of the earth's tectonic plates. Furthermore, it is in this area the oldest form of parliament had met since 930.

Gullfoss waterfall is where you will see thousands of tons of icy water thunder majestically down in double falls into a deep canyon.

The Geysir geothermal area is where bubbling hot springs and geysers are abundant. Here you'll also find Strokkur, the most active geyser in the area, spouting up to 25-30 meters into the sky.


Blue Lagoon

Enjoy a relaxing morning or afternoon at Iceland’s famous Blue Lagoon. The Blue Lagoon is known for its special properties and its beneficial effects on the skin, and attracts visitors from all over the world in search of health, relaxation and an exotic experience. The Blue Lagoon's warm water and natural active ingredients; mineral salts, silica and blue green algae help you relax and unwind while the lagoon's distinctive white silica mud gently cleanses and exfoliates the skin. The mineral salts balance and relax body and soul.

In addition to bathing in the lagoon, guests have access to a sauna with a view of the lagoon, a steam-bath with white walls that resemble silica-mud and a cosy steam-bath carved into a lava cave. Guests can also stand beneath a small waterfall for an energizing massage. Of course, guests bathing in the milky waters of the Blue Lagoon have easy access to the famous white silica-mud, an essential part of the spa experience.
