A compact and approachable capital city, Reykjavik boasts some excellent restaurants and a number of attractions such as the Museum of Iceland, the striking modern Hallgrimskirkja Church, and a spectacular new concert hall. A short break to this fascinating city should include at least one full day out of town exploring the Golden Circle of beautiful waterfalls at Gullfoss and Seljalandfoss, with its spectacular coastal cliffs, seabirds and wildflowers; geysers at Geysir and the National Park at Thingvellir are certainly worth visiting. The region to the south of the capital is home to some of the country’s most unique scenery, from the largest glacier in Iceland to the volcanoes of Eyjafjallajökull and Mount Hekla.

The South Shore of Iceland: This full day excursion takes you to a region of volcanic activity in the south, with looming mountains, black volcanic sand beaches and thunderous waterfalls. The scenery includes vast glaciers and in spring and summer puffins flock to the coastal cliffs in their thousands.
Reykjanes & the Blue Lagoon: Located near the airport at the end of the Reykjanes peninsula, the Blue Lagoon is an essential experience, with its dazzling waters steaming against the backdrop of a volcanic terrain. The lagoon can be visited on your way to or from the airport, or as part of a full day excursion which includes a number of other springs.
‘A Hunt for the Northern Lights’: From October to March Iceland is one of the best places to witness the Northern Lights and our evening excursions will take you out of the city to track down the best viewing spots in the company of a local expert. If the lights don’t appear you have the opportunity to try again the following evening at no extra charge.
Whale Watching: From May until September the seas off the coast of Iceland attract great numbers of Minke and Humpback Whales. We can book boat trips departing from Reykjavik daily during the summer months, when the chances of seeing whales as well as White-Beaked Dolphins and Harbour Porpoises are excellent. During the summer you can witness puffins, and it is also possible to spot Orca, Fin Whales, Basking Sharks and Pilot Whales.
