What you'll do

Overview

Enjoy an unforgettable experience in Iceland. Relax in the Blue Lagoon and see the natural phenomenon that is the Northern Lights at sea. On top of this, you will visit some of the hidden gems in Reykjavik and try the local cuisine.

Your trip will start with a relaxing soak in the Blue Lagoon, considered one of the New Wonders of the World. Bathe in the warm and therapeutic mineral water, de-stress and get in the holiday mood, ready for your Icelandic short break.

In the evening you will have chance to search for the Northern Lights by cruising off the coast, we will take you out into the dark blue yonder of Faxaflói bay in search for the mystical phenomenon of the Aurora Borealis, leaving behind the bright city lights of the capital,Reykjavík.

The next day, you will enjoy a relaxed food walk of the city joining a small group led by an entertaining local guide who will show you all the ‘must visit’ eateries and some local secret food stops giving you the chance to try delicious local produce of the island washed down with some local drinks. You will learn all about the history of the Icelanders, some myths, legends and anecdotes as you get to know this lovely city.

 

Blue Lagoon & Northern Lights Cruise

On arrival you will be met by your driver and driven to one of the ‘New Wonders of the World’ the Blue Lagoon. Just a short drive from the airport the turquoise pools and the warm mineral water are nestled in the endless lava landscape.  Here you will be able to relax and swim in the soothing geothermal pools. Relax and rejuvenate for a couple of hours, enjoy a drink from the swim up bar and a silica face mask, leaving your skin silky smooth.

In the evening your Northern Lights cruise departs from the old harbour. You will cruise out into the dark blue yonder of Faxaflói bay in search for the mystical phenomenon we call the Aurora Borealis or Northern Lights, leaving behind the bright city lights of the capital Reykjavík. The open top viewing decks provide the perfect platform for witnessing the dazzling spectacle while the heated indoor lounge is a great place to take a break and warm up in between sightings. Your guide will be on hand to answer your questions while you enjoy Mother Nature’s light show and starry skies wrapped up in one of  the warm overalls provided on board. The indoor lounge also has toilet facilities and café where you can buy light refreshments.

We will stroll around the city and visit 5-6 wonderful local restaurants with a fun & knowledgeable guide by your side.

You will visit everything from well-known ‘must visit restaurants’ to small family run businesses and secret local hangouts. While everything we will have on the tour is traditional Icelandic, we have not included  traditional delicacies such as fermented shark, rams testicles and sheep head, which are definitely an acquired taste!  Instead we explore why we Icelanders are justifiably proud of our locally grown and harvested food, focusing on the most delicious dishes such as fresh local fish , Icelandic lamb and local vegetables, finishing off with a yummy dessert and some Icelandic drinks to accompany it all.
