Highlights of the South with Northern Lights

This is not just your typical tour of the south of Iceland with a chance to see the northern lights. Your adventure starts from KEF airport and to the warm waters of the Blue Lagoon, explore the nature less travel to  Þórsmörk, Eyjafjallajökull, and the vast glaciers of Vatnajökull, without forgetting the most scenic Golden Circle area. All with the help of a local guide to give you the best insights.

Day 1: Airport pickup – The Blue lagoon – Cabin

Your guide picks you up at Keflavík airport at your requested time with a stop at the famous Blue Lagoon, only 20 minutes away.

After a revitalising bath and lunch, we drive to the south coast of the Reykjanes peninsula to start exploring the natural wonders. Get a delicious 3-course meal in a local restaurant to complete your first day.

And now, you recharge your batteries in your private cabin with a chance of seeing the Northern Lights.

Day 2: Þórsmörk & Eyjafjallajökull ADVENTURE

We combine these two gems into a one-day trip. Both are unique in their own way. Þórsmörk, a nature reserve known for its dramatic landscape, spectacular hikes and jaw-dropping views, and the infamous Eyjafjallajökull glacier. To get to the top of Eyjafjallajökull we drive up the slopes of the glacier, towards the caldera on the volcano. On the way, we’ll see spectacular views from 1600 meters.

Note: Eyjafjallajökull is a weather-dependent tour, and Southcoast Adventure reserves the right to change or alter the tour, with your safety as our priority.

Once again, you will be treated to delicious meals throughout the day and rest in your cabin for the evening. Don’t forget to keep an eye on the sky, will make sure to help you as well.

Day 3: Glacier Lagoon

On day three, we drive towards Europe´s biggest glacier, Vatnajökull. Covering approximately 11% of Iceland, many of the country’s most spectacular sights are located there, like the Glacier Lagoon and the world-famous diamond beach.

After a day of exploring out-of-this-world landscapes, have a lovely meal in the picturesque town of Vík before returning to your cabin in the evening.

Day 4: Golden Circle and drop off in Reykjavík

The Classic Golden Circle is one of Iceland’s finest jewels. See Gullfoss, a 31-meter-high waterfall, plunge into a narrow gorge, feel the geothermal spray from Strokkur gushing hot spring in the Geysir area and go for a walk through Þingvellir National Park, where the two tectonic plates drifted apart and Vikings roamed around!

All this with a delicious meal from a local restaurant, which will make it all even more magical.

Finally, we drive to Reykjavík, where you can experience the culture of modern Iceland.
