Bucket List ICELAND ADVENTURE Includes roundtrip air, accommodation & tours

ICELAND Formed by volcanic rock and shaped over millions of years by Atlantic winds, the rugged beauty of Iceland is only matched by the warmth and friendliness of its locals.

With the mesmerising Northern Lights, hot springs, active geysers and volcanos, visit Iceland for an experience that is out of this world. Here you will find stunning wooden houses, historic Viking remains, as well as modern architecture and chic Nordic restaurants. In the city center of Reykjavik, spend hours exploring winding roads and classic Scandinavian architecture, take in the views from the top of the impressive Hallgrímskirkja church, or dive into Iceland’s mythical past at the immersive Saga Museum. Outside the city limits, experience the island’s natural beauty with whale watching, or opt for a daytrip into wild, open landscapes that stretch as far as the eye can see. Immediately west of the city, visit the natural wonder that is the geothermal Blue Lagoon. The color and texture of the warm water is caused by a unique mix of minerals, silica and algae; spend a day floating in the sky-blue lagoon, feeling the heat of the water complement the cool Icelandic air. Iceland is also one of the few places in the world where the Northern Lights are visible. Visit between September and early April to witness the stunning colors draped across the horizon; complete darkness makes it easier to see this marvel of the sky.

A natural wonder, the lights dance and cascade through the night sky in spectacular shades of pink, green, yellow, blue, violet, and occasionally orange and white.

What's included: - Bus fare - Guided tour - Pick up from the hotel is up to 30 minutes before departure

NORTHERN LIGHTS Mystery Tour from $59 per person

What causes the Northern Lights?

The Northern Lights are the result of collisions between gaseous particles in the Earth's atmosphere with charged particles released from the sun's atmosphere. Variations in colour are due to the type of gas particles that are colliding. The most common auroral colour, a pale yellowish-green, is produced by oxygen molecules located about 60 miles above the earth. Rare, all-red auroras are produced by high-altitude oxygen, at heights of up to 200 miles. Nitrogen produces blue or purplish-red aurora.

When is the best time to watch the Northern Lights?

Guaranteed darkness is the first important factor. The best season to see the northern lights in Iceland is from September to mid-April - these are the months where there are full dark nights. It is also not unheard of to see the lights as early as mid-August, once the final traces of the midnight sun summer are gone.

Please note: The Northern Lights are a natural phenomenon and rely on weather conditions, whilst every effort will be made, we are unable to guarantee sightings
