Winter in Iceland: Waterfalls & Aurora Nights

• Trip code: 433X025
• Dauer: 5
• Stil: The Geluxe Collection

Welcome to Iceland — where glaciers and volcanoes collide in the most jaw-dropping ways. On this five-day escape, you’ll soak in natural hot springs, chase waterfalls (yes, really), and walk between continents at the edge of tectonic plates. With a local CEO guiding the way, you’ll learn the stories behind the landscapes, meet charming Icelandic horses, and stay up late hoping to catch the Northern Lights dancing overhead. It’s a short trip that makes a big impression — one that will leave you awed, refreshed, and ready for more.

Itinerary

Day 1 Reykjavik: A Northern Metropolis

Nestled in the middle of the wild North Atlantic, Iceland's dramatic natural features stand in contrast to Reykjavik's colourful, modern buildings and vibrant culture. We welcome you to Iceland, and invite you to prepare for a winter adventure like no other, with stunning natural landscapes, elven folklore and shimmering northern lights in the overhead sky

Day 2 Hella: Your OMG Day

Head away from the city today as you immerse yourself headfirst into Iceland's dramatic natural landscapes. Visit majestic waterfalls and and even get the opportunity to walk behind one of them, feeling the power of the thundering water cascade from the heights. Witness the mighty Sólheimajökull Glacier and have the opportunity to hike on it or delve deeper into the Iceland's heritage at the Skógar Museum. In the evening set off on the first of hopefully many opportunities to see the Northern Lights dancing in the sky

Day 3 Hella: The Golden Circle

Keep your camera handy today as you visit the highlights along the famed Golden Circle route where you'll visit Thingvellir National Park and a geyser that spouts water high up into the sky. Savour scrumptious lunch at a local greenhouse surrounded by tomato vines then stand in awe at the power of Gulfoss Waterfall, where the water cascades down two tiers before falling into the churning waters below. Next, slip into the thermal waters at the Secret Lagoon to cap off the day of exploration. With the stars as your companion, set off again in the evening in search of the glorious Northern Lights in the sky

Day 4 Reykjavik: Traditional and Cosmopolitan

Icelandic horses are completely unique; forged by centuries of isolation and the dramatic local climate. They're resilient, independent, and are known to possess a gentle spirit, and you'll have the opportunity to meet them today at a working farm. Then, back in Reykjavik choose to pass the afternoon as you like; perhaps visit the iconic Hallgrímskirkja Church or explore the National Museum of Iceland where you can better connect with the culture and understand how Iceland became the haven it is today. Regroup in the evening for a dinner out on the town

Day 5 Reykjavik

The adventure finishes today, and you can depart at any time
