Iceland at a Glance: Aurora, Golden Circle & the Blue Lagoon

Reykjavik

Explore Iceland’s defining geological landscapes over six well-paced days. Begin in Reykjavík before bathing in the Blue Lagoon and heading beyond the city for an evening aurora hunt. A locally guided Golden Circle journey covers Þingvellir’s tectonic rift, Geysir, Gullfoss, Fridheimar greenhouse and Kerið crater, while the South Shore brings the LAVA Centre, Seljalandsfoss, Skógafoss and Skógar Museum. A free day leaves time to discover compact Reykjavík independently. Flights are arranged separately; accommodation, breakfasts, selected dinners, transfers, touring and tipping are included. Northern Lights sightings depend on darkness, solar activity and cloud cover, with late autumn and winter departures generally offering the strongest conditions.
