Cruise along the charming coastline and admire city lights while awaiting the breathtaking Northern Lights

The science fiction of Jules Verne changed the way people viewed the world in the late 19th century, stories like Journey to the Center of the Earth, were based on research notes of French explorers who had made their journey to the Snæfellsnes peninsula in Iceland.

Mysterious, breathtaking, and out of this world are just simple words to get started when you enter the Snæfellsnes National Park, which some believe to be one of seven magnetic energy centers of the Earth.

What we do know, is that it contains the widest variety of different volcanic systems in the world that can be found in a single area. In effect, this means that in any direction you look at, the landscape changes completely, and the world becomes another.

Today we explore the famous Golden Circle. This route encompasses many of Iceland’s most famous landmarks: Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and the location of the world's first parliament; Geysir geothermal area and Gullfoss waterfalls.

At Thingvellir National Park history and nature meets. This is the only place where the Mid-Atlantic Ridge comes to the surface and forms a rift valley between tectonic plates. Filled in the fissure created by the separation of the plates is glacial water that has been filtered underground for decades through hardened, porous lava rock. The filtering process of the glacial water makes Silfra one of the clearest bodies of water on earth with up to 120 meters of visibility.

• The history was made at Thingvellir when in 930AD was formed Althing, the oldest parliament still in operation. Therefore Thingvellir is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage for both, natural and cultural importance.

  At Geysir geothermal area Strokkur, "the butter churn”, erupts about every 4-8 minutes. The big Geyser, which gave name to all other geysers, has been in recent years inactive.

  Gullfoss is an iconic waterfall located in South Iceland on the Hvítá River which is fed by Iceland´s second biggest glacier, Langjökull. On a sunny day, the shimmering rainbow can be seen over the falls.

  Overnight at the South Coast

Today after exploring the Golden Circle,  you´ll enjoy the true winter experience and discover Langjökull Glacier on snowmobile.

The tour is a scenic drive and give you a unique opportunity to feel the arctic wilderness and it’s charming beauty.  The ride will take you from basecamp and up into no-man´s-land for once-in-a-lifetime thrill experience. Your guide will take care of every single aspect and provide you with necessarily equipment and safety briefing.

Once the adventure will end, you will continue your Golden Circle tour. 

Today after breakfast at 8am you will meet with your guide at hotel lobby and together, you will drive south, along the shore, with black sand beaches on one side and hills with many waterfalls on the land side.

We recommend starting with Seljalandsfoss, where water drops from 60m, then continue to Skógafoss, the best-shaped and arguably the most photographed waterfall.  Reynisfjaran black sand beach is one of the most southern points of mainland Iceland. Here you learn about how the basalt lava columns are formed - and don’t forget to collect some pebbles for souvenirs! Nearby admire the natural arch of Dyrhólaey, and other rock formations, like Reynisdrangar, that are tied to many folk tales and legends.

At the end visit the town of Vík í Mýrdal, which you will recognize by its iconic church up on the small hill. Here you can taste the local delicacies and learn about local culture.

South Coast tour will end in charming Vík town. Here you will have time to rest and have a lunch before your next adventure. At 2:30pm you will meet with local guide, who will show you the secrets of the Ice Cave. Your tour will begin with a scenic Super Jeep ride, then after a short 5-10 minutes hike, you will explore Katla Ice Cave.

Ice caves are constantly melting and reforming throughout the seasons, so this really is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to visit a cave before it disappears forever.  

Myrdalsjokull Glacier is one of the best-known in Iceland, from which the alluring Kötlujökull Glacier originates. Kötlujökull is named after the robust Volcano Katla, which is covered by the glacier. As the enormous mass of ice has been slowly crawling down from the glacier, it creates some of the most impressive natural ice caves in Iceland.

After the tour, your private driver will drive you to your accommodation, Hotel Skálakot. 

Today, after breakfast, you will meet again with your private guide, at the reception of your hotel. Together you will start a drive further South towards Vatnajökull National Park.

Begin with, The Glacier Lagoon, located in the southeastern part of Vatnajökull National Park, the largest national park in Europe .Glacier Lagoon is filled with floating icebergs that calve from the nearby glacier, Breiðamerkurjökull, a tongue of Vatnajökull glacier, the largest glacier in Europe.

The Lagoon flows through a short waterway into the Atlantic Ocean, leaving chunks of ice on a black sand beach. The beach is named Diamond Beach because the ice often glistens like diamonds in the sunlight. With a bit of luck, there will be icebergs offshore on the beach during your visit!. In winter, the fish-filled lagoon hosts hundreds of seals.

Follow an experienced and qualified guide through a frozen wonderland of different shades of glacier ice. Take a look at deep crevasses and water cauldrons along with other interesting features of the glacier.

• During the tour, the guide will share their wisdom about the ever-changing landscapes of the Icelandic glaciers, their formation and how they are connected with surrounding volcanoes and mountains. 
•  
• Overnight at the Retreat by the Blue Lagoon

The Retreat transports your mind and body to new dimensions of peace and rejuvenation. 

Imagine relaxing from your private accommodation over the moss or over the lagoon and looking up over the Northern Lights. Secluded from the light pollution of cities, the Retreat Blue Lagoon is the perfect location to enjoy the amenities of this unique resort and a unique chance of looking over the Northern Lights

The lagoon at the Retreat is sourced from the same volcanic aquifer of geothermal seawater as the Blue Lagoon. Its open spaces, plateaus, waterfall, and lava corridors invite discovery, enable serenity, and provide shelter from the wind and storms that move across Iceland.

It's time to say goodbye to this little island in the North.
