Relax at the Blue Lagoon

No trip to Iceland is complete without a visit to the Blue Lagoon, the country’s most famous geothermal spa. Located in the middle of a lava field, this milky-blue oasis offers a serene and rejuvenating experience like no other. Rich in minerals such as silica and sulfur, the warm, mineral-rich waters are known for their healing properties, making it a perfect spot to relax after a day of exploring. Don’t miss out on the Lagoon’s signature Silica Mud Mask, which promises to leave your skin feeling soft and refreshed.

For those looking to avoid the crowds, our specialists can guide you to some of Iceland’s hidden gems—lesser-known natural hot springs where you can unwind in peace and soak up all the volcanic, mineral goodness without the tourist rush. Whether it’s the Secret Lagoon in Flúðir or the Landmannalaugar hot springs in the highlands, Iceland has a wealth of geothermal treasures waiting to be discovered.

Sky Lagoon – Iceland’s Newest Oceanfront Spa

If you're seeking another luxurious hot spring experience, look no further than the Sky Lagoon, Iceland’s newest geothermal retreat. Located just outside Reykjavik, the Sky Lagoon is an oceanside spa offering breathtaking views over the Atlantic Ocean. Designed to blend seamlessly with the natural landscape, the Sky Lagoon features a unique infinity-edge pool, where you can soak in the warm waters while enjoying the dramatic coastal scenery. The Sky Lagoon’s signature seven-step Ritual, which includes a sauna, cold plunge, and body scrub, ensures a rejuvenating and unforgettable spa experience. Whether you visit at sunset or under the midnight sun, the Sky Lagoon offers a relaxing and luxurious complement to your Iceland adventure.

Reykjavik – The Heart of Iceland

The nation’s capital, Reykjavik, is a charming, colorful, and cosmopolitan city that perfectly blends Icelandic tradition with modern sophistication. Known for its striking architecture, Reykjavik is home to iconic landmarks such as the Hallgrímskirkja church, with its unique, volcanic-inspired design, and the stunning Harpa Concert Hall, which reflects the northern lights in its glass facade during winter months.

Despite being a relatively small city, Reykjavik boasts a thriving food scene with world-class cuisine. Seafood lovers will delight in the fresh, locally sourced fish dishes, while adventurous eaters can sample Icelandic delicacies like fermented shark or lamb stew. Reykjavik is also a hub for Iceland's lively arts and music culture, with galleries, museums, and live music venues scattered throughout the city.

Explore Iceland's Famous Golden Circle

The Golden Circle is a must-see route for anyone visiting Iceland, offering an array of breathtaking sights in just one day. Our experts can help you plan the perfect self-drive tour or guided excursion through this iconic loop. The journey typically includes three main attractions:

• Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where you can walk between two continents as the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates slowly drift apart.
• Geysir Geothermal Area, home to the famous Strokkur geyser, which erupts every 5–10 minutes, sending a column of boiling water up to 30 meters into the air.
• Gullfoss Waterfall, one of Iceland’s most spectacular waterfalls, where glacial water cascades into a deep canyon, creating a dramatic, awe-inspiring view.

Along the way, you’ll also find opportunities to visit smaller stops like volcanic craters, thermal rivers, and Icelandic farms where you can sample fresh dairy products and even bake traditional Icelandic rye bread in the ground near the hot springs!

Chase the Northern Lights

One of the most magical experiences in Iceland is witnessing the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) dance across the night sky. Visible from late September to early April, this natural phenomenon draws visitors from around the world. Our local experts can arrange guided Northern Lights tours that take you away from the city lights, deep into Iceland’s wilderness, where the chances of seeing this mesmerizing light show are much higher.

Imagine gazing up at vibrant green, purple, and pink hues swirling above the vast, snowy landscapes—it’s an experience you’ll never forget. While the Northern Lights are unpredictable, Iceland’s dramatic landscapes provide plenty of other reasons to explore during the winter months.

The Perfect Twin-Centre Holiday: Iceland and New York

For travelers looking to combine the wild beauty of Iceland with the hustle and bustle of city life, a twin-centre holiday to Iceland and New York is the ideal choice. After immersing yourself in Iceland’s serene natural landscapes, why not contrast that experience with the bright lights and energy of New York City? From the glaciers and geysers of Iceland to the iconic skyline of Manhattan, this holiday offers the best of both worlds.

Imagine starting your journey by relaxing in Iceland’s geothermal spas, exploring volcanic craters, and chasing the Northern Lights, and then flying to New York for shopping, sightseeing, and Broadway shows. Whether you want to explore Central Park, visit world-renowned museums, or see the Statue of Liberty, New York’s endless attractions provide the perfect complement to Iceland’s rugged wilderness. Our travel experts can customise the perfect itinerary to seamlessly blend both destinations into one unforgettable adventure.
