Reykjavik, the vibrant capital and largest city of Iceland, traces its roots back to Ingolfur Arnarson, the first Icelandic settler, who established his farm on the very peninsula where the city now stands. The name “Bay of Smoke” was bestowed upon the city due to the mesmerizing steam jets that emerged from the hot springs in the surrounding area, which undoubtedly left a lasting impression on the first European settlers.
After enjoying a delicious breakfast at your hotel, the entire day is yours to freely explore the captivating region surrounding Reykjavik. You have the flexibility to continue your own adventure or choose from a range of optional tours ($) available, offering a variety of traditional sightseeing and soft adventure activities to enhance your experience. (Breakfast included)
In the evening, embark on an extraordinary guided tour, dedicated to hunting down the mesmerizing Northern Lights. Departing from Reykjavik, this excursion takes you far away from the city’s luminous glow, increasing your chances of witnessing the ethereal dance of the Aurora Borealis. From autumn through spring, during clear and chilly nights, nature puts on a breathtaking display as the Northern Lights gracefully swirl and dance across the sky, constantly changing in color, shape, and size.
In the event that the Northern Lights remain elusive on the scheduled evening, a second opportunity will be provided the following day at no extra cost. Please note that the Northern Lights hunt tour is exclusively available from September to mid-April. From mid-April to the end of August, this tour will be replaced by a Hop-on Hop-off sightseeing tour of Reykjavik, allowing you to discover the city’s highlights at your own pace.
Start your day with a delicious breakfast at the hotel before embarking on an incredible adventure through Iceland’s breathtaking landscapes. Visit the Fridheimar Geothermal Tomato Farm, where innovative techniques recreate Mediterranean conditions. Witness the bubbling mud pools and the powerful Strokkur geyser at the Geysir geothermal fields. Experience the awe-inspiring Gullfoss waterfall as tons of icy water cascade into a deep canyon. Explore Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where the ancient parliament once met and walk between two continents at the tectonic plate boundary. Return to Reykjavik at the end of the day, cherishing the memories of these natural wonders. (Breakfast included)
Indulge in a scrumptious breakfast at the hotel, and seize the entire day to freely explore the captivating region surrounding Reykjavik.
