Scenic Iceland & the Northern Lights

• Reykjavik: Witness nature's most spectacular light show, the Aurora Borealis.
• Skogafoss: Visit Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss, two south coast waterfalls shaped by rivers dropping from Iceland's interior. Each fall offers a different profile, with water plunging over former sea cliffs and cutting into the rock below, illustrating how glacial meltwater and changing coastlines have formed this section of the island.
• Hvolsvollur: See the magnificent volcanoes of Hekla and Eyjafjallajökull.  
• Hvolsvollur: Visit the Lava Centre, an interactive museum where you will learn about the geology and natural occurrences that have influenced and created Iceland's incredible landscapes.
• Gullfoss Falls: See Gullfoss, where the glacial-fed Hvítá River drops in two stages into a rugged canyon, sending spray into the air as the water cuts through layers of rock. The falls sit at the heart of the Golden Circle and show the force of Iceland's meltwater rivers, especially when seasonal flow increases.
• Geysir: Visit the famous spouting Geysir which has become synonymous with hot springs all around the world.
• Thingvellir National Park: The Parliamentary Plains are the most important historic site in the country, as the meeting place of the Althing, the world's oldest parliament that was founded in A.D. 930.
• Reykjavik: Enjoy views of the Hraunfossar and Barnafoss waterfalls as you drive through glorious landscapes.
• Reykjavik: Explore the city. See the old town centre, the parliament building, Höfði House, the colourful harbour and the Hallgrímskirkja.
• Fridheimar: Explore a local farm and sample their sweet-tasting, homegrown tomatoes. Meet the family to learn about Icelandic horticulture and growing the tastiest tomatoes, all the while respecting the surrounding nature.
• Borgarnes: Meet the lovable horses of Iceland - the original Viking horses and vital servants of the first Icelanders to arrive in this vast, wild county. Learn why they have two more gaits than most other breeds of horses, and how their double-layered coat enables them to withstand Iceland's tough winters.
