Aurora Borealis - Northern Lights

Hallgrímskirkja Church, Reykjavík

5 day tour Iceland - Reykjavík and the Northern Lights

rising from the ground near a lava flow is used to drive turbines that generate electricity for the region, and heat the local water supply. Day 3: Head off in Search of the Northern Lights The highlight of the tour comes this evening, when you’ll head out of the city to search for the Aurora Borealis - the enchanting Northern Lights - flickering in the Icelandic night sky. Should you be lucky enough to see it, the phenomenon is a sight to behold! Optional on this morning’s Golden Circle tour, you’ll see Þingvellir - the green expanse where Iceland’s ancient parliament - the Alþingi - used to meet. Stop beside the near-extinct original Geysir and time the gap between the eruptions from the nearby, and far more frequent, Strokkur waterspout; before rounding off your day with a visit to the vast cascade of the Gullfoss waterfall. Day 4: Join a Southern Shore Adventure Tour Explore the wonders of Reykjavík at your own pace today. Later, enjoy a last evening in the Icelandic capital. Optional Southern Shore Adventure excursion - this journey into wild, rugged Iceland takes you across the lava plateau, down onto the southern coastal lowlands, and across the mighty river Ölfusá. Discover Eyrarbakki, a coastal village with many old wooden houses, and marvel at Eyjafjallajökull - the volcano that famously closed down European airspace in 2010. You’ll also visit Skógafoss waterfall, the icy wall of Sólheimajökull, and Vík í Mýrdal - the southernmost village in Iceland. After lunch (payable locally) you’ll stop on the black sandy beach at Reynisfjara - famous for its birdlife. Day 5: Reykjavík to UK Transfer back to Keflavík Airport to board your flight home.
