Day 1 – Travel to Iceland
On your way to Reykjavik and your hotel, enjoy a visit to the world famous Blue Lagoon, one of Iceland’s most popular attractions. A natural geothermic spa, the warm seawaters are rich in minerals and silica which gives the water its mesmerising bright blue appearance.

This morning, there will be a guided tour of Europe’s most northerly capital, Reykjavík. View the beautiful presidential residence on the outskirts of the city and the observatory known as The Pearl (from outside), plus the magnificent Hallgrímskirkja Church and many other attractions. The city centre is small and compact, making it easy and enjoyable to explore on foot. You will have the afternoon at leisure to further explore Reykjavik at your own pace. Stroll down the main shopping street, Laugavegur, with its pretty boutiques and buzzing bars and cafes.
After dark, you will travel north, away from the city lights, to hunt for the incredible Aurora Borealis. A stunning natural light display, seeing the Northern Lights is a truly unique experience.
