City Breaks Winter Escape - Nature and Wellness

Where you can reconnect with nature, soak in the scenic beauty, and breathe in the fresh, clean air while relaxing in the warm geothermal seawater. After your rejuvenating experience, your driver will take you to your hotel in Reykjavik. 

In the evening, your private driver will pick you up for a memorable Northern Lights tour. You will be taken out of the city and into the quiet countryside, where the darkness offers the best view of this incredible natural phenomenon. While it's possible to catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights from Reykjavik, the city lights can interfere with the display. To fully appreciate the beauty of the lights, the best experience is to venture far from the urban glow and into the pristine wilderness.

Beyond these highlights, you will have time to uncover more of the city - stroll along the tranquil Tjornin Pond, a peaceful retreat surrounded by nature, or explore the lively Old Harbour, rich in maritime history, charming shops, and cosy cafés. After a day of exploration, relax and unwind at the hotel's spa facilities.

Your private driver guide will take you to explore the stunning Golden Circle, beginning with the historic Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site where Iceland’s first parliament was established, and the visible continental drift marks the separation of the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates.

Then, marvel at the stunning Gullfoss waterfall, which cascades in two stages into a 115-foot-deep canyon.
