Iceland: Under Aurora Skies

Highlight:

This unforgettable journey leads you through Reykjavík’s colorful charm and into Iceland’s raw natural beauty, from erupting geysers and black sand beaches to glaciers and steaming volcanic landscapes. You’ll chase the northern lights under crisp Arctic skies, soak in soothing geothermal waters, and walk on ground shaped by the Earth’s most powerful forces.

Itinerary

A mystical land of fire and ice, where glowing skies dance above lava fields and waterfalls whisper secrets from ancient times.

Arrive at Keflavík International Airport and transfer to Reykjavík, Iceland’s quirky and cozy capital. After settling into your hotel, explore the city center—check out Hallgrímskirkja Church, grab a coffee on Laugavegur Street, and enjoy a warm Icelandic meal. If the skies are clear, take a guided tour in the evening to search for your first glimpse of the aurora borealis.

Set out on the famous Golden Circle route. Visit Þingvellir National Park, where you can stand between two tectonic plates. Continue to the powerful Gullfoss waterfall and the erupting Strokkur geyser at the Geysir geothermal area. Return to Reykjavík for dinner and maybe another shot at seeing the northern lights.

Take a day trip along Iceland’s dramatic south coast. Stop at the majestic Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss waterfalls, walk along the haunting black sands of Reynisfjara beach, and see views of the famous Eyjafjallajökull volcano. Watch the ocean crash against basalt cliffs before heading back to the capital.

Head to the Reykjanes Peninsula, a geothermal hotspot filled with volcanic craters and steaming vents. Visit the Fagradalsfjall volcano site—where recent eruptions have reshaped the land—and walk across fresh lava fields. End the day with a relaxing soak in the Blue Lagoon, surrounded by steaming blue water and black lava rock.

Choose an adventure: take a super jeep tour to explore a glacier or descend into a shimmering blue ice cave (seasonal). Both options offer jaw-dropping views and unforgettable photo ops. Return to Reykjavík and warm up with lamb stew or a hot dog from the city’s most famous stand, Bæjarins Beztu.

Spend the day exploring Reykjavík at your own pace—visit the Harpa Concert Hall, the whale museum, or browse local art and wool shops. In the evening, join a final guided northern lights tour, heading far from city lights for the best chance at witnessing the magical green glow.

After breakfast, enjoy a final stroll through Reykjavík’s colorful streets before transferring to the airport. Take one last breath of icy air, and leave with your heart full of volcanic power and aurora dreams.
