Itinerary
Day 1
Reykjavik
Welcome to Iceland! Your adventure begins. Once you're transferred from the airport to your hotel via Flybus transfer, the rest of the day is yours to explore!
Day 2
Heading to Hella & the Blue Lagoon
Reykjavik - Reykjanes Peninsula - Blue Lagoon - Hella. Our morning starts with a tour of Reykjavik, Iceland's charming capital. From there, we'll head out of the city to the breath-taking Reykjanes Peninsula. Think quaint fishing villages, hot springs, and striking mountains. Now, we're headed for Hella, but not without a rejuvenating stop at the Blue Lagoon.
Don't worry, we'll reach our accommodation before darkness falls. And once it does, we'll head out to the garden and wait for the Northern Lights to appear.
Day 3
Grumbling glaciers and roaring falls
Hella - Eyjafjallajokull - Skogafoss - Hella. Today is about the sheer force of nature's power - what makes Iceland, Iceland. The rumbling volcano of the Eyjafjallajökull glacier. The plunging Seljalandsfoss and thundering Skógafoss waterfalls. Later, there's an optional hike on the shimmering Solheimajokull glacier where you can take in the enchanting icy scenery. Please note: this optional hike must be booked in advance. Contact us to book. If you didn’t book the glacier hike, the tour continues further south where we can stroll on the black lava beach and see the amazing bird cliffs at Reynisfjara near Vík.
We'll be back in Hella before it gets dark. It's our second chance to catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights - keep your eyes peeled!
Day 4
Geysers and Gullfoss on the Golden Circle
Hella - Golden Circle - Reykjavik. This morning, we'll start the journey back to Reykjavik via the breath-taking Golden Circle. Along the way, you'll see bubbling hot springs and geysers at the Geysir geothermal greenhouse. Its famous Strokkur geyser erupts every 10 minutes - don't miss it!
Further inland, we'll pass the mighty Gullfoss waterfall and through the rugged Thingvellir National Park.
This once-in-a-lifetime drive ends in Reykjavik. Once you're checked in, your final evening is free for you to explore or join an optional evening cruise to spot the Northern Lights one final time.
Day 5
Reykjavik to home
And just like that, our tour comes to an end. Enjoy your final morning in Iceland however you wish, before your Flybus transfer to the airport. We're sure you'll be back soon.

Customer reviews & ratings
The Land of Northern Lights tour was a triumph! My tour of Southern Iceland was absolutely wonderful. The venues chosen, the timing allotted at each venue and the variety of things to experience was nearly perfect. Our guide, "Thor", was smart, amusing, full of history and anecdotal stories as well as being incredibly hospitable and helpful. This small group experience was my first, but not my last thanks to On the Go.
Norma Sullivan Sep, 2021 VerifiedI would rate this Iceland tour highly. The guide, Eyrun was brilliant and the accommodation and breakfasts were wonderful. The itinerary was great and the guide always did her best for us, even if roads were closed and there were necessary itinerary changes. She always kept us informed of what was going on and gave excellent information. We were so lucky to see the Northern lights and loved the chalet accommodation in the South of Iceland. My only gripe would be the Flybus coach from the airport to the hotel - we had to wait 2 hours and nobody was sure what was happening
