About Iceland
Iceland is a refreshingly unconventional travel destination. The Icelandic nature is unspoilt, exotic and mystical with its spouting geysers, active volcanoes, tumbling waterfalls, towering mountains, vast lava plains and magical lakes. Iceland’s fjords, glaciers and highland plains present visitors with some of the most beautiful and enchanting places they will ever see, as well as a rare feeling of utter tranquillity.
For travelers on a quest for action, Iceland’s pristine nature offers great potential for outdoor activities such as snowmobiling, horse riding, cave exploring, hiking, swimming, skiing, river rafting, kayaking and mountain safaris on modified four-wheel drives, to name but a few. Iceland supports a surprisingly diverse Nordic flora and fauna and is an ideal place for ornithology enthusiasts, while also offering some of the world’s best whale watching destinations.
About Reykjavik
Reykjavík sometimes feels like a cosmopolitan capital and a tiny seaside village - all wrapped up in one. But Reykjavík has the best of both worlds; the qualities of a modern, forward-looking society complemented by a close connection to Iceland‚s beautiful and unspoilt nature.
Reykjavík’s legendary nightlife is bolstered by plentiful cultural and social happenings in addition to an abundance of first-class restaurants. The size of Reykjavik city centre is also limited enough to allow for easy navigation by foot. Reykjavík has been described as a young and daring city that is characterized by strong contrasts. Conveniently small, clean and safe, it is more or less free from the major problems that haunt many other capitals. Big city events are frequent, the winter lights festival finished recently with thousands of participants and more tourist at this time of the year than we are used to.
Reykjavík and its hinterland is ideal as a stopover point between the North American and European continents – just over 2 hours flying time from the UK and, as the USA’s closest European neighbour, the flight time from New York is just 5 ½ hours. Enjoy Reykjavík’s culture and its high-class restaurants, great weekend nightlife and friendly locals—with the great outdoors on your very doorstep!
Day 1: A Warm Welcome to the Capital of Cool
On arrival in Keflavík airport, you will be met by your private chauffeur who will transfer you to Reykjavík, where you will enjoy your two-night stay in a suite at one of Reykjavík’s deluxe hotels. After settling into the hotel, you will be introduced to the city by our professional guide, who will take you on an excursion to unusual and original places where you can see, feel and taste what makes Reykjavík tick.
Day 2: Golden Circle Tour and Snowmobile Ride
Pick up from your hotel in the morning for a guided tour of the “Golden Circle”. Visit the beautiful Þingvellir National Park, where the North American and European continents meet, before heading to the great Geysir area, home of the original “Geyser”. Close to the Geysir we will find the two-tiered Gullfoss waterfall, often called Icelandic tourism’s star attraction. End the tour by visiting Langjökull, Europe’s second largest glacier, for a snowmobile ride before heading back to Reykjavik, where you will stay overnight.
Day 3: Reykjanes Departure Tour
We will leave Reykjavik in the morning for a trip to the geologically active Lake Kleifarvatn and the moon-like Krýsuvík cove, where you can see hot springs and bubbling mud pots. From there, we will go to the last stop before departure, the Blue Lagoon geothermal seawater spa, set in a magical black lava field. It is rich in silica and blue-green algae, which gives the lagoon its reputed healing powers. The lagoon provides a wonderful last memorable taste of Iceland, and ensures that you are fully unwound and relaxed when taken to Keflavik International airport in time for your check-in.
