We have put together an Iceland city break, with 3-nights staying in the vibrant capital Reykjavik including a special New Year’s Eve celebration.

Arrive into Keflavik where you will be transferred to your Reykjavik hotel. Get all checked in and settled before getting ready for a Northern Lights Hunt by Superjeep later in the evening.
After breakfast you’ll head out to see the famous Golden Circle and get a tour around this popular part of Iceland, journeying through Iceland’s history and natural wonders. Your adventure begins at Thingvellir National Park, the historic birthplace of the Icelandic parliament over a millennium ago. Witness the Earth’s slow tectonic dance as the North-American and Eurasian plates gradually pull apart. Stand where Viking settlers once gathered to enact national laws, connecting with ancient traditions.
Your next destination is the Geysir geothermal area in Haukadalur, a land of geysers, hot springs, steam vents, and intriguing blue algae. Strokkur, one of the largest and most powerful geysers, bursts to life every 5 minutes, offering a mesmerizing spectacle. Concluding your Golden Circle journey is a visit to the awe-inspiring Gullfoss waterfall, known as the queen of Icelandic waterfalls, with its impressive height and dramatic plunge into a deep gorge.
After a satisfying lunch at Gullfoss Café, the adventure continues with an off-road Superjeep expedition through the highlands and Langjökull glacier area, Iceland’s second-largest ice cap, spanning 953 square kilometers. Along the way, you’ll savor the breathtaking landscape and make occasional stops to soak in incredible vistas. Your tour wraps up with a visit to Faxi, a charming small waterfall, before returning to Reykjavik. Please note that the tour’s direction may be adjusted to avoid crowded areas, ensuring an optimal experience.
Spend the day at leisure to explore the city or if you would like to add in an extra excursion then just speak to one of the team who can organise someting for you such as whale watching, visiting the Lava Shows, or heading out again on a Superjeep!
Then get ready for an evening of fun seeing in the New Year. Once you have had dinner and a few drinks you can get ready to head out on the New Years Firework Cruise to get the best spot in witnessing all the firework activity around the city with a glass of champagne. After the 1.5 hour trip you can head back into the city to continue taking part in the festivities or head to bed (bring some earplugs just in case!)
Transfer back to the airport. However your trip doesn’t have to end there – if you want to extend your stay just let one of the team know and we tailor-make some fun and exciting additions to your trip.

We booked with Aurora for a short winter break to celebrate an event. We wanted something special and that’s what we got. Clear information was backed up with straightforward booking detail, and we had a super, holiday with no complications.
The holiday exceeded my expectations and I will use Aurora in the future. Thank you!
My wife and I had an awesome and memorable trip to Iceland thanks to Alex at Aurora Nights. Alex tailored the itinerary to exactly what we wanted to see and chose excellent hotels to stay at. We totally enjoyed the city of Reykjavik and the many beautiful waterfalls. He went above and beyond to not only recommend sights to see around the Golden Circle and Ring Road, but also mapped it out so we were prepared to drive through the country during unpredictable weather and road conditions. And we were especially pleased to see the Northern Lights on our visit. Alex was very flexible to make changes to our plans and choosing the wonderful Sky Lagoon to replace our tickets for the Blue Lagoon due to the closure from the volcanic activity. We highly recommend Alex and Aurora Nights.
An amazing trip and excellent service provided by all involved. Great value for money too. Food was excellent. Accommodation was wonderful and the trips booked were outstanding. An amazing trip
Cannot thank this company enough. Our break to Iceland was the second time we’ve let them organise everything for us and once again they didn’t disappoint. Everything ran seamlessly and the organised tours were wonderful. This company knows what they are doing. If you want to experience the geysers, the volcano, the northern lights and all the other exciting things that Iceland has to offer then this is the company to use.
