Northern Lights Quest of Iceland

Iceland is an island of dramatic contrast and a landscape forged by fire and ice. Streaming lava fields and hot pools reflect its volcanic nature. Massive glaciers sculpt the mountains and valleys leaving thundering waterfalls and plunging fjords. The Icelandic people combine a reverence for their Viking heritage and ancient language with an industrialized and progressive society. Discover the spectacular landscapes and proud people of this small island nation during this fascinating journey.

Reykjavik on a panoramic tour, experiencing its charming architecture

surroundings. Return to your hotel for a welcome drink and canapes

with your group, followed by free time for dinner on your own. Then

beautiful views of the city and surrounding mountains as you sail

away, watching for aurora borealis.

Enjoy lunch in the greenhouse of Fridheimar Tomato Farm. Then it's on to the Strokkur Geyser, which erupts every 10 minutes. Stop at Gullfoss Waterfall, one of the most photographed spots in all of Iceland. Move on to your hotel below the Hekla volcano and enjoy dinner with your group.
