Your Included Excursions —
Northern Lights Tour
Our tour takes you to see a spectacular phenomenon. Viewing the glorious northern lights in Iceland is an absolutely unforgettable experience! Also known as the aurora borealis, the northern lights are caused by the interaction of particles from the sun with the upper atmosphere near the Magnetic Pole.
Please note: the northern lights can be seen from late August to mid-April.
Sky Lagoon Pass (13+, for stays of 7 nights or more)
A thermal spa inspired by nature and culture... Immerse yourself in warmth of an ocean side geothermal lagoon as the dramatic North Atlantic stretches out before you. Above, glowing sunsets and stormy skies dazzle, and sometimes the dancing Northern Lights put on a stunning all-natural show. Sky Lagoon is about that Icelandic feeling of warmth and wonder. Join us for rejuvenation and inspiration at the edge of the world.
Relax your mind, body and soul. Try something new. Step out of your comfort zone with the 7-step spa ritual. All of these are possible with Sky Lagoon's The Ritual, a truly unique journey that's at the heart of Iceland's newest geothermal experience.
Your Optional Excursions —
Optional Northern Lights Small Group Tour (01/02 TO 31/03 only)
This is a classic Northern Lights viewing tour but in a smaller group. This means you'll have more time with your expert guide to help you take photos and understand the facts.
The group size is 25 people.
The Northern Lights are caused by collisions between particles from the sun and the upper atmosphere near the North Pole. In Iceland, they are visible during the winter months, from late August to April, and appear in various shapes and colours, although light green and pink are the most common.
Optional Northern Lights Boat Tour (01/02 TO 31/03 only)
Seeing the Northern Lights at sea is an extraordinary experience; sailing away from the coast of Reykjavík and seeing the aurora over the North Atlantic with the lights of the city in the background is something you won't forget!
Our expert guide will help you search for the lights while explaining the science, legends, and myths surrounding this amazing natural phenomenon. There's a speaker system on board, so you can wait inside our cafeteria while you enjoy a hot drink or watch our video about the Northern Lights. When the guide spots the aurora, he'll announce it over the loudspeaker system so everyone knows to get out and look up!
South Shore adventure
This South Shore Adventure tour is ideal for nature lovers of all kinds. We take you along the south coast of Iceland, one of the country’s most scenic regions, as far as Vík, a charming village surrounded by high beautiful bird cliffs. Witness nature's showstoppers - Eyjafjallajökull, Seljalandsfoss, Skógafoss and more!
Among the stops on this tour are the gorgeous Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss waterfalls. What makes Seljalandsfoss so famous and interesting is that you can walk behind it. Skógafoss is something of a film star, having been used as a backdrop in films such as Thor: The Dark World and The Secret Life of Walter Mitty.
We will also stop at Reynisfjara black sand beach, with the Reynisdrangar rock formations and columnar basalt. Additionally, we stop by Sólheimajökull glacier and walk up to a small lake that has formed in front of the retreating glacier.

Magic Ice Bar experience in Reykjavik
Try the unusual experience of the famous ice bar and sculpture gallery in Reykjavik, with a drink included.
Lava tunnel tour
Visit the lava tunnel Raufarhólshellir and witness the inner workings of a volcanic eruption while you walk in the path of a lava that flowed thousands of years ago.
On this adventure, we visit the lava tunnel Raufarhólshellir located only 30 minutes from Reykjavík. The lava tunnel is one of the biggest in Iceland and gets up to 30 metres wide and 10 metres high. The lava tube ceiling has caved in near the entrance, which creates beautiful columns of light. The fantastic range of colours of the tunnel wall is caused by the different mineral types of the rock.
This is a tour for the senses. Experience a new world, hear the talk of the cave and sense the forces of nature like you have never done before. Learn new things and step out of your comfort zone. Scenes from the Hollywood movie Noah, with Anthony Hopkins, were shot in this lava cave. You walk around 350 metres into the lava tunnel and the temperature in the cave is around 4 degrees, although it can be warmer outside and usually water leaks from the ceiling when it rains and snows, so we recommend raincoats.
