Iceland & the Northern Lights

Iceland, the newest country on earth, is raw nature at its very best.
Join us to discover the fascinating capital of Reykjavík before heading into the great wilderness and remoteness of natural Iceland. See where the European and American Tectonic plates are slowly moving apart. Marvel at the spectacular Gullfoss Waterfall and experience the bubbling muds and spectacle of the exploding Geyser on this fascinating and once-in-a-lifetime experience.
As if this is not enough, Iceland is also perfectly placed to witness the spectacular Northern Lights and, unlike tours based in more light-polluted areas, we have the opportunity of watching out for them from the comfort of our spectacular hotel that’s surrounded by gorgeous Icelandic nature including rivers, fields, animals, mountains and glaciers.
For those wishing to learn more about the Northern Lights and the night sky or master the art of taking impressive photos of them, Pete Lawrence from the BBC’s The Sky at Night will be travelling with us to offer a helping hand.
