Overview

Combine snowmobiling with the highlights of Iceland's south coast from a unique, local perspective. Explore ice caves, glaciers, black sand beaches, geothermally heated lagoons and geysers with expert local guides and leave the country having not just visited Iceland, but experienced it.

Arrive into Keflavik Airport, and embark on the adventure around southern Iceland. You’ll be taken to your chosen accommodation in Reykjavik, the buzzing capital of the country. After settling in meet your guide down town for an introduction to Icelandic cuisine as you stroll around the capital visiting some amazing local eateries and getting an insight into this city that is bursting with character.

In the evening you will be setting off for a cruise to search for the Northern Lights around the Faxaflói bay, far from the lights of the city.

Drink in the inky dark wilderness and, if you’re lucky, catch a glimpse of the otherworldly Aurora Borealis flashing across the sky.

Spend time exploring the famous Golden Circle, visiting mighty geysers, including the world-renowned ‘Geysir’, and the jaw-dropping Gulfoss waterfall. A rush of water cascading into a mighty gorge, this is a serious sight to remember on your south Iceland adventure.

You’ll walk in the footsteps of the Vikings at Þingvellir National Park, and visit the lesser-known Secret Lagoon, a beautiful place where you can soak in geothermally warmed waters, surrounded by dramatic scenery.

Visit the Sky Lagoon, a wonderful outdoor lagoon overlooking the Atlantic ocean. A totally different experience from the Blue lagoon – the water here is clear, not Blue and the Lagoon though large feels more intimate, enclosed in the black volcanic rocks. There is a swim up bar so you can enjoy a holiday toast and a ritual room to experience the seven steps to relaxation – including an awe-inspiring glass-walled sauna overlooking the sea.

On top of this, snowmobile to some of Iceland’s most stunning corners, explore magical ice caves with expert guides, recognise film sets on black sand beaches, and fill your camera’s memory card with countless pictures of cascading waterfalls.

Arrival and Northern Lights

Upon arrival meet your driver and transfer to Reykjavik for check-in.

Search for northern lights on this thrilling winter cruise where you maximise your chances of sightings! Search for Aurora Borealis away from the city lights, on this thrilling winter cruise.

Watching the lights constantly change in intensity, colour and movement in the vast starry space with the gentle lull of the ocean beneath is a thrilling, unique experience.

Hunting the aurora by boat provides you with more comfort as there are heated inside areas, an onboard café and great 360° viewing platform for panoramic views. Your expert aurora guides help you enjoy the lights and cruise to the fullest by giving you information about the auroras as well as answering any questions you may have.

They even take pictures on the tour which you can request by email when you get back home! You can borrow overalls to keep you warm, just remember to bring a hat and gloves.

Venture out into the dark blue yonder of Faxaflói bay in search for the mystical phenomenon that are the northern lights; leaving behind the bright city lights of the northernmost capital in the world, Reykjavík.

As the northern lights are a natural phenomenon we cannot guarantee that you will see them, but you are with professional aurora hunters with years of experience searching for the lights around Reykjavík.

If the lights fail to make an appearance you can try again another day. You are free to go as many times as needed (within two years) to catch the show – at no extra cost!

Sky Lagoon

Immerse yourself in warmth at an oceanside geothermal lagoon, as the dramatic North Atlantic Ocean stretches out before you.

Feel yourself relax and unwind as you take in the dazzling sunsets and moody skies and, if you’re lucky, the dancing Northern Lights will put on a stunning show. Then, take your relaxation deeper with the Ritual, a unique seven-step experience.

Step 1: Welcome! It’s time to settle in. Relax in the lagoon, breathe in the refreshing air. The first stop on this journey is the healing warm geothermal waters of the Lagoon. Take it all in.

Step 2: Boost your happiness with cold therapy. Wander in the fresh Icelandic air. Or if you’re brave, take a quick dip in the cold plunge. It’ll stimulate your immune system, decrease blood flow in the body and tighten skin. A natural high!

Step 3: After a cold awakening, visit the sauna for 5 to 10 minutes. Allow the heat to open pores, remove toxins and cleanse your skin. While the heat works its magic, enjoy breathtaking views through the largest single window in Iceland and the sensory treat of coastal aromas and acoustics.

Step 4: Next, balance the heat by stepping slowly through our cold fog-mist space. It’s stimulating and rejuvenating for mind, body and soul. Take a deep breath and refresh your senses!

Step 5: It’s time for re-invigoration. By applying our signature Sky Body Scrub, your skin will be exfoliated and glowing. Slowly and gently, feel the Sky Body Scrub improve how you feel, inside and out. This is the highlight of The Ritual. Feel the glow!

Step 6: Steam will once more open your skin, allowing it to absorb the key therapeutic elements of The Ritual and maximizing the hydrating benefits of the Sky Body Scrub. Moist warmth eases your breathing and improves overall body function. Open up and feel clean and clear.

Step 7: Finally, close your eyes, feel the results and enjoy the moment! From head to toe, inside and out, you’ll feel relaxed, rejuvenated and energized. Slow down and enjoy it!
