Arrival in Reykjavík
Touch down in Iceland and make your way to your hotel in the capital for your first overnight stay. Airport transfers are available as an optional add-on during booking. Use the evening to get acquainted with Reykjavík — explore its lively downtown, dine in cosy restaurants, or browse local boutiques and galleries.
Golden Circle Day Tour & Optional Evening Northern Lights Excursion
Set out on Iceland’s famous Golden Circle, one of the country’s most iconic sightseeing routes. This full-day guided tour takes you through the rift valley at Þingvellir National Park, the bubbling geothermal area of Geysir — where Strokkur erupts every few minutes — and the spectacular Gullfoss waterfall, a highlight in every season and especially striking when framed by winter ice.

For those visiting in the darker months, you can add an optional Northern Lights evening tour. Expert guides monitor aurora and weather conditions, leading you away from city lights to the best possible viewing spots. The excursion is usually planned for your second night, with flexibility to reschedule if conditions are unfavourable.

Note: The Golden Circle Tour operates on Tuesdays and Saturdays. Therefore, it may not always take place on day 2 of your trip — the exact day will depend on which weekday you book. This will also determine the order of any optional tours you choose to include in your itinerary.
Optional Blue Lagoon Visit
Today you have the chance to unwind in the world-renowned Blue Lagoon. Surrounded by lava fields, its warm, mineral-rich waters offer a truly soothing and unique experience. This visit is available as an optional upgrade and can be booked in advance. Included is return transfer, mud mask, rented towel and 1 drink.
Optional South Shore Adventure
Free day in Reykjavík or venture along Iceland’s dramatic southern coast on an optional full-day guided tour. Highlights include the cascading Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss waterfalls, the striking black sands of Reynisfjara beach, and breathtaking views of glaciers and volcanoes as you travel past farmlands and rugged cliffs.
