Iceland & the Northern Lights
Search for the Northern Lights on this eight-night land journey through Iceland, designed to balance natural landmarks, regional culture, and time spent beneath dark northern skies. Travel from Reykjavík to the harbor town of Siglufjörður, experiencing the country’s varied landscapes by day and venturing out in the evenings on guided excursions to watch for the aurora borealis. Daytime exploration includes Iceland’s Golden Circle, featuring Þingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site, the Gullfoss waterfall, and Strokkur, one of the country’s most active geysers. Visit geothermal areas with bubbling sulfur pools, step inside the historic Glaumbær turf houses, and learn about Iceland’s fishing heritage at the Herring Era Museum. Additional experiences range from a visit to a family-run tomato greenhouse and an introduction to Icelandic horses to time spent unwinding in the thermal waters of the Blue Lagoon. Along the way, enjoy locally sourced cuisine, farm-to-table meals, museum visits, and insights from local experts. Accommodations include stays at the Hótel Borg in Reykjavík and the Siglo Hótel in Siglufjörður.
