Day by Day Itinerary

Day 1

Fly to Reykjavik and transfer into city centre

Fly to Reykjavik and meet your transfer who will take you to your hotel. Reykjavik is spoilt with excellent fish restaurants and we would recommend you try one tonight.

Overnight in Reykjavik.

Day 2

Golden Circle SuperJeep Tour with Snowmobiling, Pingvellir Rift Valley, Gullfoss waterfall and Strokur Geyser

This guided SuperJeep Tour is a must for anyone that has not been to Iceland before. You will walk in a dramatic mini rift valley created by Tectonic plate movement, gaze at the thundering Gullfoss waterfall which can totally freeze in winter, and marvel at the Strokkur Geyser which erupts every 5 mins.

To finish off the day you will be taken on a 1 hour snowmobile thrilling ride over the Langjokull Glacier before returning early evening to Reykjavik.

Please note the maximum number of passengers in the SuperJeep is 6 in order to give you a very personal and individual tour. This is in sharp contrast to the coach tours that are available through other companies, or the very large SuperJeep Tours with 12 people in.

Evening at leisure and overnight in Reykjavik.

Day 3

SuperJeep Northern Lights Hunt

Day at leisure to enjoy Reykjavik. Reykjavik has many excellent museums and is a lovely city situated on the sea. There are plenty of culturally interesting places as well as relaxing places to chill. For ideas of things to do in Reykjavik.

This evening you will be taken out from Reykjavik in a Super-jeep into the wilderness for a final search of the Northern Lights. Given cloudless skies sightings can occur from autumn to early spring. The elders say that the colder the nights the more vibrant & intense the colours will be. Swirling and swaying overhead, displays are usually greenish yellow but white, red and pink lights also frequently appear.

Please note the maximum number of passengers in the SuperJeep is 6 in order to give you a very personal and individual tour. This is in sharp contrast to the coach tours that are available through other companies, or the very large SuperJeep Tours with 12 people in.

For those looking for an extended evening this trip can be extended to include a visit to the black volcanic beaches and a Lobster Feast as an optional extra. (Please see below)

Overnight at Reykjavik.

Day 4

Visit Blue Lagoon, Transfer Airport for flight home

After breakfast check out before a flybus transfer to the Blue Lagoon, one of Icelands most famous sites whose geothermal waters are particularly good for your skin. Here you can bathe in the warm bright blue waters, put Silica mud on your face or try out the Sauna and Steam rooms which are carved into the lava.

You can easily while away a couple of hours away and there is also a choice of restaurants with lovely views of the Lagoon. We would also recommend the in-water massage treatments which are just heaven!

Afterwards your flybus transfer will take you to the airport for your flight home.
