Transfer to Hotel Ranga and Back

We are conscious that some people do not want to self drive. If this is the case we can organise a transfer for you to and from Reykjavik and the Airport, though you would need to also add an extra tour at £220 per person if you also wanted to see the Golden Circle as part of the transfer up to Reykjavik, and this is not included in this transfer cost below.

Price Per Person: From £525

DAY 2
Choice of Full Day 4WD Super Jeep Tours

DAY 2
Choice of Full Day 4WD Super Jeep Tours

After breakfast adventure out into the unique landscapes of South Iceland – probably the most dramatic Geography field trip you will ever experience!

We work only with local guides who are both passionate about their country and want to share their insights with you but who are also trained as part of the mountain rescue team. They will have fascinating stories to share about the volcanic eruption that occurred in 2010.

We continually receive fabulous feedback on this day from satisfied clients who enjoy this personalised, relaxed guided day experience from enthusiastic local guides who are keen you have an extra special experience.

SuperJeeps take up to 8 people but the norm is for 4 people for a very personal tour. Note, this is in sharp contrast to the coach tours that are available through other companies, who also cannot access many of the areas we take you to.

Choose between the following adventures: EITHER Eyjafjallajökull’s Volcano Tour This tour will take you as close as is possible to the new large crater in Eyjafjallajökull Volcano from the 2010 eruption and to places where no hire car can go. We drive up the slopes of the glacier in a highly equipped SuperJeep and on our way take in the astonishing view over the whole South coast of Iceland with it’s glaciers, and back across the Atlantic including the Westman-Islands.

This tour gives you the perfect glacier experience; an exciting SuperJeep drive in the snow, walk on the glacier and the magnificent view over the south. This is real adventure! OR Þórsmörk Valley Tour . Your guide will take you up between the three glaciers; Myrdalsjokull, Eyjafjallojokull and Tindfjallojokull. In your specially adapted SuperJeeps you will have the thrilling drive of fjording glacial rivers and driving across the flood plain to see the lasting effects and landscape changes following Eyjafjallajökull’s 2010 eruption.

You will be surrounded by an imposing mountain ridge and see spectacular landscapes. Stop at the stunning Seljalandsfoss Waterfall, which you can walk behind and be mesmerised looking back through the falling water. If you wanted to see the “Raw Iceland” this is hard to beat!

Tonight be sure to use one of the outdoor hot tubs if the Northern Lights are out. Lying back in the warm waters, taking in South Iceland’s unique ambience whilst having the Aurora flash above you is one of life’s great experiences! Alternatively, Hotel Ranga have built their own first observatory a short stroll from the hotel in order to minimize light pollution, and they have an expert in there every cloud-free night with two high quality 11 inch computerized telescopes who can teach you about the stars and the Northern Lights if they are out.

View amazing detail on Jupiter, see the rings of Saturn, and details on Mars. During the day you can observe the Sun, including sunspots in great detail and activity such as prominences and filaments. Overnight at Hotel Ranga.

DAY 3
Explore South Coast and Self drive to Reykjavik

DAY 3
Explore South Coast and Self drive to Reykjavik

Today you have at leisure to explore the south coast before your drive to Reykjavik.

Head off in your car along the South coast with the dramatic Glaciers and Volcanoes of Hekla and Eyjafjallajökull to your left and the Atlantic Ocean on your right.

Continue to the charming small village of Vik to visit the Black Beaches and dramatic rock formations of Reynisdrangar with its famous archway. Visit Seljalandsfoss, one of the most famous waterfalls in Iceland, where you will be mesmerised as you walk behind it and stare out through the falling water across the flat landscape towards the South Beaches.

Also visit the dramatic and thundering Skogar Waterfall – one of the highest in Iceland at 60m and certainly worth a few photos! Time allowing, stop at the Skogar Folk Museum which shares one man’s lifetime collection of Icelandic artefacts gathered since 1949.

The slightly eccentric Thordur Tomasson still runs the museum and is as much of an attraction as the museum itself! We would also recommend a stop at Eyjafjallajokull Visitor Centre, which has a 20 minute film depicting the personal experience of a farmer on the recent eruption which will give you a more intimate insight as to how the Icelanders coped with the eruption.

Onwards drive to Reykjavik to overnight. Alternatively you can drive straight to Reykjavik and explore this quirky town with its unusual shops and museums. For ideas of things to do in Reykjavik.

See the newest part of the planet at the 2021 eruption site

The Reykjanes Peninsula provides a beautiful landscape with volcanic and geothermal wonders and a surf-pounded coast, as well as the opportunity to see the newest part of the planet created by the 2021 Volcanic eruption.

The driver guide will pick you up from your hotel in Reykjavik and take you to the hiking route towards the recent volcanic eruption in Geldingadalur. You will spend about 1 hour at the eruption site and the hike there and back is 45 min-1 hr each way (2k). We focus on spending time at the hardened lava flow itself .

Afterwards you will explore the Reykjanes Peninsula in south-west Iceland. This is a volcanic area, renowned for its mountains, craters, hot springs, and lava fields. The eruption at Geldingadalir, however, is the first in the region for 800 years.

You will spend about 2 hours exploring the highlights of the Reykjanes Peninsula: Seltún, Lake Kleifarvatn, Gunnuhver geyser, Brimketill Lava Pool, Grindavik Fishing Village, Reykjanes, Krysuvík, and the Bridge between the continents.

The Bridge between the continents is a spot where guests can walk from the Eurasian tectonic plate to the North American one, all the while learning about the rift valley that intersects Iceland. Brimketill is a dramatic lava coastal rock pool on the Reykjanes Peninsula, renowned for its photogenic sunset shots and folklore. Krysuvik and Seltùn is like stepping into another dimension. At Seltún you will see both solfataras and fumaroles which are bubbling mud pools and steaming hot springs.

The mud pools all around you are simmering and boiling, hissing through vents in the mud.

The colours in this area range from different nuances of red, grey, brown, silver, blue, and yellow to white – all in one area!

Gunnhuver Geyser is 65 feet across and is constantly spewing dense cloudy steam which is unique in Iceland as it is entirely seawater due to the proximity to the sea. Lake Kleifarvatn is an interesting lake that is entirely fed from a source underground. After a 2000 earthquake the level has dropped by 20%.

Lunch is included at a restaurant and the tour is about 8 hours. Return transfer to overnight in Reykjavik.

Please note this tour is a full day tour to and from Reykjavik .

Price per person: From £285. Please note for many of the trips you will also need to add an extra night in Reykjavik and associated extended car-hire (if using carhire) which would also be extra.

DAY 5
Blue Lagoon and Flight Home

DAY 5
Blue Lagoon and Flight Home

This morning drive to the Blue Lagoon, one of Iceland’s most famous sites.

Here you can bathe in the warm bright geothermal waters which are particularly good for your skin. Put Silica mud on your face or try out the Sauna and Steam rooms which are carved into the lava.

Relax for a couple of hours and perhaps have a meal in one of the restaurants with lovely views of the Lagoon. We would also recommend the in-water massage treatments which are just heavenly!

Afterwards drive the 20 minutes to the airport for your flight home. If this wasn’t quite perfect for you why not consider the Northern Lights Paradise break

We have an extensive Northern Lights Information Hub if you need further information on anything from What are the Northern Lights? to Where can I see the Northern Lights? and When is the best time to see the Northern Lights?

Reviews & Feedback

Hotel Ranga was amazing in terms of comfort, food and friendliness of the staff. We were treated to some brilliant views of the Northern Lights on our first night there. The excursions were well organised and very enjoyable. Hotel Centrum in Reykjavik was different in style to Hotel Ranga but none the less impressive and comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed the short break you arranged.

Saeli and Magnus took us on an amazing trip and it was just one new and amazing experience after another for the rest of our holiday. Iceland was such a wonderful surprise and the locals were so friendly. The food was without doubt some of the best in the world!
