City Break Northern Lights & the Golden Circle

From Keflavik Airport, a shuttle transfer will take you into the city and to your hotel. Depending on your flight schedule, we can arrange an exciting whale-watching tour or a guided food walk. The food walk is a fantastic way to sample delicious Icelandic delicacies while also exploring the city, getting a feel for its layout, and familiarizing yourself with key landmarks.

In the evening, you will be picked up for a tour outside of Reykjavik. Far from the glow of the city lights, we hunt for the elusive Aurora Borealis – known as the Northern Lights. Together, we will search for these magnificent auroras. On a clear night, we may be lucky enough to see the Northern Lights swirling in a wild and carefree dance across the sky in dramatic shapes, colours, patterns and sizes. (We cannot guarantee sightings even if the tour is operated. In these cases, we offer our customers a second tour free of charge).

Accommodation in Reykjavik for 4 nights

Explore the Golden Circle, highlighting the country’s natural wonders. Start with a visit to Fridheimar Greenhouse, a sustainable farm powered by geothermal energy, where you’ll learn about eco-friendly farming and taste locally-grown tomatoes.

Next, witness the power of Strokkur geyser in the Geysir Geothermal Area, erupting every few minutes amidst bubbling hot springs and steaming vents. Then, marvel at the beauty of Gullfoss waterfall as water cascades dramatically into a deep canyon, often creating stunning rainbows.

Finally, explore Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where you can walk through the rift valley created by the drifting North American and Eurasian tectonic plates while learning about Iceland’s cultural heritage as the birthplace of the world’s first democratic parliament.

Take a bus tour with City Sightseeing and explore Reykjavík at your leisure, with the opportunity to hop on and off at conveniently located bus stops. With the best of both worlds, a modern, trendy and forward-looking city whilst at the same time being close to its unspoiled nature, Reykjavik truly is a magical place to behold.

Today, you are free to spend the day as you wish. We offer a wide selection of excursions

and day tours, which you can explore here. We recommend joining a Snaefellsnes day tour for a breathtaking experience or embarking on a South Coast day tour, where you’ll journey through Iceland’s diverse landscapes and witness stunning waterfalls.

After an impressive and memorable trip to Iceland, it is time to leave. Shuttle transfer from your hotel in Reykjavik to Keflavik airport for your flight home! Depending on your flight you might visit the Blue Lagoon on your way to the airport.
