Discover Iceland's wonders
Make your Iceland stay an experience to remember with excursions designed to show you the best of the country, including its incredible natural sights, beautiful landscapes, and unforgettable landmarks.
• Northern Lights tour by bus •
This tour will take you on a search for the beautiful Northern Lights. Led by an expert guide, you'll travel far from the glow of the city's bright lights and onwards towards a perfect viewpoint for catching sight of the elusive Northern Lights. Don't forget to pack warm layers, winter boots, and your camera, as you journey towards a once-in-a-lifetime experience that'll linger in your memory long after you've left.
Optional upgrades: You can choose to upgrade to a Northern Lights cruise in the booking process. You’ll travel beyond the city lights to see the darkest skies from the water on this unforgettable cruise, to hunt the captivating aurora above the waves. Alternatively, you can also upgrade to a smaller group tour for a more intimate, curated experience, or to a Super Jeep tour that will take you to remote, off-the-beaten-path locations inaccessible to larger tour buses.
• Blue Lagoon entry with transport (premium admission) •
The utterly unique Blue Lagoon is a must-see destination for those visiting Iceland. Rest and recharge in the soothing geothermal waters, surrounded by a truly breathtaking volcanic landscape. The waters here stay between 38 and 40 degrees Celsius all year round, the optimum temperature to relax your body. With this tour, you'll get premium admission, return transfers, your own towel and bathrobe to use, two drinks at the in-water bar and three different mud masks to try, ensuring an all-round memorable experience.
• Golden Circle •
See some of Iceland’s most iconic sights, with a trip to the stunning Golden Circle. You’ll take a scenic tour of three of Iceland’s natural wonders. Walk in the footsteps of the Vikings at the UNESCO listed site, Thingvellir National Park, listen to the roaring Gullfoss waterfall, and see the thrilling Geysir erupt with steam into the sky.
• Whale Watching Cruise •
Take an enthralling journey into Faxaflói Bay for a glimpse of Iceland’s oceanic inhabitants - the majestic humpback whale, minke whales, dolphins, porpoises and other species. The surrounding land and air is also packed with a variety of native birds, including puffins, guillemots and others, making this special tour a must for any animal lovers. Alongside the tour, you can also visit a floating wildlife exhibition, to learn more about the creatures you’ll get to see.
• South Coast wonders •
Follow the North Atlantic coastline from Reykjavík into the volcanic and glacier-covered wonderland that is Iceland's south coast. On this carbon-neutral tour, watch as the country's breathtaking scenery transforms from moss-covered lava fields to rugged mountains, glacier-capped volcanoes, and more. You'll get to visit the surreal Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss waterfalls, wiggle your toes in the black sands of Reynisfjara beach and discover the undeniable charm of Vík on this eco-friendly journey.
• Glacier snowmobiling and Secret Lagoon •
This once-in-a-lifetime tour is the ultimate Iceland experience, and will see you set off from Reykjavik in a super truck through the Geysir Hot Spring area, ready for thrilling snowmobile tour of the majestic Langjökull glacier. After a whirlwind ride framed by vast icy stretches and the soaring Icelandic highlands, you'll head to the small village of Flúðir to defrost with a relaxing dip in the secluded Secret Lagoon, whose mineral-rich natural hot springs are a balmy 38-40 °C all year round.
• South Coast, Jökulsárlón Glacial Lagoon & Diamond Beach •
Embark on a scenic tour of the volcanic and glacier-covered wonderland that is Iceland's south coast. Marvel at the unforgettable grandeur of the Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon - featured in iconic films such as James Bond, Batman Begins, and more - and then visit the famous Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss waterfalls. Round off the tour with a visit to Vík í Mýrdal where you can see the dramatic Reynisdrangar rock formations from the black-sand beach.
