Trip Highlights

Why you'll love this trip

  • Make the most of Iceland’s long winter nights by tracking down the shimmering lights of the Aurora Borealis.

  • Revel in an I’m-so-far-from-home moment as you explore one of Europe’s largest ice caps on an adventurous walk over the Solheimajokull Glacier, and bask in the spray of the spectacular Skogafoss and Seljalandsfoss falls.

  • Visit a local art workshop and chat with the artists in a rugged, off-the-beaten-track harbour town.

  • See the sights that make Iceland’s famous Golden Circle so celebrated, from Gulfoss Waterfall to Strokkur Geysir and Thingvellir National Park.

  • Soak in a geothermal pool at the lesser-known Secret Lagoon – is there anything more quintessentially Icelandic?
