The itinerary is carefully crafted to maximize your chances of encountering the captivating Northern Lights. We visit Friðheimar Geothermal Farm, explore greenhouses that use geothermal energy to grow tomatoes and cucumbers year-round. Guests can also visit the stables to meet Icelandic horses, renowned for their unique gaits. Day 1: The Golden Circle Begin your journey at Þingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its historical and geological significance. Next, visit the Geysir hot spring area, home to the original geyser and its active neighbor, Strokkur. Continue to Friðheimar Farm, where you'll see how tomatoes and other plants are grown year-round using sustainable energy. Guests can also visit the stables to meet Icelandic horses. Then, marvel at Gullfoss, the majestic golden waterfall, renowned for its breathtaking beauty and powerful cascades. Accommodation in Vík area, with the possibility of an evening Northern Lights hunt during your stay, weather permitting.‍ Day 2: White Glaciers & Black Sands Enjoy a scenic drive along the black volcanic sands, tracing the southern expanse of the majestic Vatnajökull Glacier, culminating at the breathtaking Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon. Located nearby, visit the Diamond Beach, renowned for its stunning black sand covered with sparkling icebergs that have washed ashore. These icebergs, originating from the glacier lagoon, create a breathtaking contrast against the dark volcanic sand. On the way back to our hotel, we visit Skaftafell, part of Vatnajökull National Park. Skaftafell is a nature lover’s paradise known for its stunning landscapes. It features a diverse array of natural wonders, including glaciers, waterfalls, and lush vegetation. Day 3: Volcanos and Waterfalls and the Blue Lagoon On this day, we will enjoy a ride back along the south coast of Iceland. This coastal road offers views of glacier tongues, waterfalls, rugged hills, black sand beaches, and its famous volcanoes. We visit the black sand beach at Reynisfjara to view the geological formation and the smashing waves. Next, stop and admire the majestic Skógafoss Waterfall before driving to Seljalandsfoss Waterfall. Here you can walk behind the waterfall. The final highlight before getting back to Reykjavik is the spectacular Blue Lagoon. Enjoy soaking in the mineral-rich water with its fine silica mud experience (bathing is an optional extra).
