About this trip

Enjoy three nights in Reykjavík with a relaxing Iceland stopover. Your trip includes a guided day exploring the famous Golden Circle, where you will visit Þingvellir National Park, the erupting Strokkur geyser, and the stunning Gullfoss waterfall.

You can also choose to add a separate day tour to the Blue Lagoon, where geothermal waters surrounded by lava fields provide a unique spa experience. In the evening, there is the option of joining a one-time Northern Lights hunt, with guides selecting the best countryside viewing spots based on weather and aurora forecasts. Note that the aurora is only visible during the darker months, roughly September to mid-April.

Room allocation: guests booking for one person are accommodated in a single room; bookings for two are placed in a double room; bookings for three are accommodated in a double room with an extra bed or a triple room, depending on availability.

Good to know

Arrival in Reykjavík

Arrive at Keflavík International Airport and travel into Reykjavík, with a private transfer available as an optional add-on. Check in and take the rest of the day at your own pace. Hallgrímskirkja, the Harpa concert hall and the Laugavegur shopping street are all within walking distance of the hotel.

Guided Golden Circle day

A guided day around the Golden Circle: Þingvellir National Park, where the Atlantic and Eurasian plates pull apart; the Geysir geothermal field, where Strokkur erupts every few minutes; and Gullfoss, where the Hvítá river falls into a deep canyon. Pickup starts at 08:30. Note that the Golden Circle day runs on Tuesdays and Saturdays, so its position within your stay depends on your arrival date. In winter there is the option of an evening Northern Lights hunt.

Free day, with the Blue Lagoon as an option

A free day in Reykjavík. Many guests use it for the Blue Lagoon on the Reykjanes peninsula, where the geothermal water sits at around 39°C year-round and admission includes a silica mud mask and a drink at the swim-up bar. This is an optional add-on rather than part of the package.

Departure

Breakfast at the hotel before checking out and travelling to the airport. An airport transfer can be arranged as an optional add-on.
