Discover the Magic of Iceland's Northern Lights

Your adventure begins with the arrival at Keflavik Airport, where your private guide, a seasoned expert from our Arctic Face team, will welcome you. This journey has been thoughtfully designed to immerse you in the heart of Icelandic culture, while surrounding you in the enchanting Northern Lights.

We begin introducing you to our infamous bathing culture in Iceland with a relaxing start at the Sky Lagoon, a stunning oceanfront retreat just minutes from downtown Reykjavik. 

Indulge in the refreshing 7-Step Ritual, blending warm and cold water therapies, steam baths, and fresh ocean air. Feel the stresses of travel melt away as you take in the North Atlantic’s beauty.

Refreshed from your Sky Lagoon retreat, the next step is to take a guided stroll through Reykjavik’s vibrant city center, where our guide will share their local insights, from hidden art gems to the best café spots. 

In the evening, we get the first opportunity to witness the Northern Lights. We set sail on a  Northern Lights cruise from the charming Old Harbour, where the Icelandic seas stretch out before you. Enjoy the tranquility of starry skies as you sail along the Reykjavik coastline in search for the dancing Aurora Borealis, away from the city lights.

Today, we venture into the iconic Golden Circle. Discover Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site steeped in history and natural beauty. From the erupting Strokkur geyser to the thundering Gullfoss waterfall, you’ll see Iceland’s most cherished landmarks up close. Our guides, who know these sites like the back of their hand, will share the stories that bring these places to life.

Then for some adrenaline, it’s time for the ultimate snowmobile ride on Langjokull Glacier - a thrilling experience that captures the spirit of Iceland’s wilderness. 

After an exhilarating day our team takes you to Hotel Rangá, where you can enjoy a menu grounded in Nordic cuisine that celebrates predominantly local ingredients of the highest quality and freshness. Our team carefully chose this Hotel in the Icelandic countryside as it offers one of the most mesmerizing backdrops for chasing the Northern Lights. Far from light pollution, the hotel provides an exclusive viewing experience, complete with an in-house observatory led by a local astronomer, geothermal hot tubs under the stars, and a personal wake-up call should the auroras grace the sky. Plus, you’ll have expert guidance on capturing the perfect long-exposure photos, ensuring you bring home stunning memories of the night sky’s most magical display. 

For this part of our journey, we’ll take you down Iceland’s spectacular South Coast, where every stop feels like stepping into a postcard. An astonishing medley of waterfalls, glaciers & famous black sand beaches. Feel the mist of Skógafoss, experience the serene beauty of Seljalandsfoss, and walk along the otherworldly Reynisfjara beach.

The day’s highlight is an adventure into the ancient ice caves of Mýrdalsjokull Glacier. Our guide, who has explored these caves for years, will lead you safely through this incredible natural wonder. 

Then the night is yours to enjoy at the Rangá Hotel and hopefully get another glimpse of the Northern Lights.

After a leisurely breakfast at Hotel Rangá, we set off to explore the raw beauty of the Reykjanes Peninsula - home of the infamous Blue Lagoon and a region shaped by volcanic activity and shifting tectonic plates. This is a landscape that tells a thousand stories, and our guides know them all. In the afternoon, you’ll arrive at the Silica Hotel Blue Lagoon, where a relaxing spa experience awaits.

There is a variety of culinary treats for you to indulge in, be it for a family meal or a romantic dinner. Dine in your robe or fully clothed, the choice is yours. 

Spend the day soaking in the serene ambiance of the Retreat at Blue Lagoon. Whether you choose to unwind at the spa or explore the surrounding geothermal wonders, this day is all about you. Our team is on hand to make sure every moment is perfectly tailored to your desires.

Your last morning in Iceland is for reflecting on your adventure and enjoying one final soak at the Retreat Hotel. Before your private transfer to Keflavik Airport, why not squeeze in a helicopter ride over a volcano, an ATV adventure, or a visit to the enchanting lava tunnels? 

Whatever your choice, know that we’re here to make it happen.

As you depart, we hope you carry memories of Iceland that will last a lifetime. We can’t wait to welcome you back.
