Northern Lights

Northern Lights

The Northern Lights can be dramatic, eruptive, fleeting and enigmatic. Never guaranteed, sightings rely on minimal light pollution, solar activity and clear skies. The key to any Aurora trip is enjoying the whole experience, regardless of what happens in the night sky. This is where this Iceland Northern Lights tour comes into its own. Roaring waterfalls, icebergs littered on black volcanic sand and mighty volcanoes dotting the horizon. With a local guide keen to show you their Iceland – and alert to the likelihood of a light show – you will be well placed, both literally and metaphorically, to see all that Iceland offers.

    Halló

    Reykjavík!

    Our tour begins at our hotel in Reykjavik in the late afternoon. The compact capital city of Iceland is well worth exploring, and we strongly recommend a couple of extra days before or after your tour. Two of the most striking attractions are the Hallgrímskirkja Church, a fine example of expansionist architecture with great views from the tower, and the beautiful Harpa Concert Hall. The nearby old harbour is a great starting point to explore the narrow streets of the old town.We also have a welcome briefing this evening, usually around 6.30pm.

    Accommodation: Hotel Klettur or Hotel Cabin

    DAY 02: REYKJAVÍK

    Seljalandsfoss

    & Skógafoss

    We leave Reykjavik, driving east along the scenic southern highway. Our first stop is Seljalandsfoss waterfall that offers the unique opportunity to walk behind the cascade, with ice grips available for safer footing. We continue on through starkly beautiful countryside to an area badly affected by the 2010 eruption of the Eyjafjallajökull volcano. We journey along the coast visiting the Skógafoss waterfall. If there is time, we drive to Dyrhólaey peninsula, to enjoy coastal views north to Mýrdalsjökull glacier and south to the Reynisdrangar black lava sea stacks. If time and conditions allow, we see the sea stacks at a closer proximity from Reynisfjara black beach. The final part of our journey takes us across the black expanse of the Myrdalssandur floodplains, created by the river formed after the eruption of a volcano.

  • DAY 03: KIRKJUBAEJARKLAUSTUR

    Skeidararsandur

    & Jökulsárlón

    We set out today across the massive Skeidararsandur floodplains, created in a similar fashion to those at Mydalssandur. We head to Falljokull, then walk to an accessible part of the glacier where we strap on crampons and grab ice axes to walk on the glacier. The glacier offers fantastic photo opportunities with walls of brilliant blue ice thousands of years in the making.After the return hike, we travel to the beautiful Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon, created in the 1950s as the glacier retreated from the coastline, leaving a 985ft (300m) deep, 8sqmi (20sqkm) lake studded by icebergs. On Diamond Beach, we walk among large chunks of ice washed up on the black volcanic sand, creating beautiful shapes and formations.

    Accommodation: Hotel Laki Meals included: Breakfast

    DAY 04: REYKJAVÍK

    Gullfoss Waterfall

    & National Park

    We return along the south coast then head inland via Hvolsvöllur. We stop for lunch then head to the mighty Gullfoss waterfall, one of the most powerful waterfalls in Europe. We also visit Geysir, home to the inimitable hot spouts. The most reliable eruption comes from Strokkur and occurs every five to 10 minutes, firing jets of hot water and steam 100ft (30m) into the air, a spectacle not to be missed.Our final stop before returning to Reykjavik is Thingvellir National Park, where the first democratic parliament in the world sat in 930. Thingvellir is also the site of the rift valley marking the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates are pulling apart, causing an area around 4mi (7km) to literally sink into the earth.

    Reykjavik

    Shared Service Meeting point San Martin Square

    During this bike tour you will learn about the history of street art, the arrival and development in the capital of Argentina, one of the most avant-garde cities in Latin America.

    Graffiti techniques have grown tremendously over the past years and there are great samples all over the city. The ride will be along the southern districts, led by experts who will show you some of the most colorful and eccentric walls in Buenos Aires.
