Iceland's Classic Northern Lights

Pursue Mother Nature’s most spectacular show on this five-day winter adventure of Iceland’s Southern Coast. Experience the highlights of Iceland’s Golden Circle – soaking in the steamy geothermal waters of the Secret Lagoon and marvelling at the eruptions of the Strokkur Geysir, before strapping on the crampons and hiking across the Solheimajokull Glacier and feeling the mist of thunderous waterfalls on your face. As the sun falls, rug up in your finest thermals and search the night sky for dancing lights.
