Admire the imposing hilltop Hallgrimskirkja church, inspired by Iceland's natural beauty. Weather permitting, this evening could see you venture out on a Northern Lights drive to catch a glimpse of the ethereal display of motion and colour.

15 Oct 2019 : Reykjavik - Golden Circle Excursion - Hella (2 Nights)
We visit the Golden Circle and Thingvellir National Park to trace the gigantic cracks in the earth's crust, formed over millennia as the tectonic plates of North America and Eurasia slowly drift apart. Iceland's natural wonders continue to astound as we watch the bubbling mud pits and Strokkur geyser erupt, spouting a spectacular column of boiling water and steam 30 metres into the air. Next up are the glistening frozen waves of majestic Gullfoss, the 'Golden Waterfall', before we journey to the Fridheimar Greenhouse for a fascinating introduction into Icelandic horticulture and a taste of the juicy tomatoes grown there. This evening, dine at your hotel and, if conditions permit, join your Travel Director for a walk in search of the dazzling heavenly display.
Hotel: Stracta

Embark on an epic journey through Iceland's extraordinary south coast, a land of Viking legends and mystical natural beauty. Encounter the spectacular waterfalls of Seljalandsfoss and Skogafoss and the volcanic midst of Eyjafjallajokull, today completely covered in ice. Visit the Skogar Folk Museum where you will 'Dive Into Culture' and learn about Icelandic heritage, then travel to Vik to view the black sand beach. Tonight, we dine at our hotel.

17 Oct 2019: Hella - Blue Lagoon - Keflavik
The extraordinary geothermal feats of Iceland are explored today as we 'Dive Into Culture' and understand the way in which this island harnesses geothermal energy.
