Your adventure takes you to three major sites, Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates collide, and where Iceland’s first parliament was born.
Next, you will visit the Geysir Geothermal Area, home to bubbling hot springs and the Strokkur geyser, which erupts every few minutes.

Day 3

In the evening, you will embark on a bus tour in search of the Northern Lights. With some luck, you may witness this stunning natural display illuminating the Icelandic skies during the winter months. The tour will take you to areas with the best chances of spotting the lights, and the locations visited will vary each day based on weather conditions.
Please note: The Northern Lights are a natural phenomenon and sightings cannot be guaranteed.
Day 4
Exploring the South of Iceland
Reykjavik - Seljalandfoss - Skogafoss - Vik - Reykjavik. After breakfast, you will embark on a full-day bus tour through South Iceland, a paradise for nature lovers. You will travel along the stunning south coast to Vík, a village nestled between dramatic bird cliffs. This region, one of the flattest on the island, is perfect for grain cultivation, with the surrounding mountains protecting it from harsh northern winds.
During the tour, you will have the chance to see landmarks like Seljalandsfoss and Skogafoss waterfalls. Seljalandsfoss, fed by the Seljalandsa River from the Eyjafjallajökull glacier, is renowned for the unique opportunity to walk behind the waterfall. Skogafoss, another iconic waterfall in Iceland, serves as the starting point for the Fimmvorduháls hike to Thorsmörk. Often called a "movie star" waterfall, Skogafoss has appeared in films such as Thor: The Dark World and The Secret Life of Walter Mitty.
Please note: We recommend bringing a raincoat if you would like to walk behind Seljalandsfoss waterfall.
