The Golden Circle and Northern Lights
Begin your day with a journey to the Geysir geothermal area to witness Strokkur shoot boiling water skyward, before admiring the dramatic abyss of Gullfoss waterfall and the tectonic rift at Þingvellir National Park. After returning to the city for a brief pause, head out under the dark Arctic sky for a three-hour hunt to spot the dancing green ribbons of the aurora borealis.
Please note that the Northern Lights are a natural phenomenon that are difficult to predict and depend on natural conditions. As such, sightings cannot be guaranteed.
Reykjaböð Hot Springs – Classic admission & Transfer from Reykjavík
Escape the capital with a seamless return transfer to the geothermal pools of Reykjaböð Hot Springs, nestled in dramatic volcanic terrain. Embrace Nordic wellness traditions by moving between the event sauna, cold plunge and Kneipp pool to stimulate circulation and reset your body. Sink into the warm, mineral-rich waters as you soak up the tranquil countryside views.
Optional upgrades to Signature admission or a South Coast Wonders with Reykjaböð Hot Springs tour available.
Please note, Reykjaböð Hot Springs is a brand-new lagoon and therefore the imagery shown features CGI representations to give you an accurate preview of what to expect.
Whale Watching cruise (for stays of 4 nights or more)
Set sail into Faxaflói Bay from Reykjavik’s Old Harbour to encounter Iceland’s magnificent marine life in its natural habitat. Keep your eyes peeled for minke whales, humpbacks, harbour porpoises and white-beaked dolphins leaping through the crisp ocean waters. Expert onboard guides share fascinating wildlife insights while you marvel at the snow-capped mountain backdrop.
Blue Lagoon comfort including transfers (for stays of 4 nights or more)
Journey into a striking, moss-covered lava field to submerge yourself in the milky-blue, silica-rich waters of Iceland's most iconic geothermal spa. Apply smooth mineral masks to nourish your skin while floating through the mineral-rich pools surrounded by steaming volcanic rocks. Modern facilities and state-of-the-art comforts ensure a completely restorative thermal bathing experience.
Optional upgrade to Premium admission available.
