Iceland's Classic Northern Lights

Pursue Mother Nature’s spectacular show of colour and light on this five-day winter adventure of Iceland’s Southern Coast. Experience the highlights of Iceland’s Golden Circle – soaking in the steamy geothermal waters of the Secret Lagoon and marvelling at the eruptions of the Strokkur Geysir. Strap on the crampons and hike across the Solheimajokull Glacier, feeling the mist of thunderous waterfalls on your face. As the sun falls, rug up in your finest thermals and search the night sky for dancing lights.

The northern lights are most visible during the colder months, when temperatures can reach -15 °C or below and snow is very likely. It's important to bring appropriate clothing such as a down jacket, thermals layers, gloves and suitable footwear., While there is a strong chance of seeing the northern lights in all their colourful glory (thanks to the high latitude, time of year and itinerary), nature makes no guarantees. On the rare occasion that your leader must alter the itinerary due to adverse weather, alternative activities will be offered., A remote location and high-performing currency are just two reasons Iceland can be an expensive destination. This affects things like museum entrance fees and outdoor activities but is especially noticeable when eating out. Your leader will be able to advise you on ways to get the best value during your visit.
