This guided small-group adventure by minibus will take you around Iceland’s famous Golden Circle to the South Coast, all the way to the pristine glaciers of Vatnajökull National Park.

You can use it to visit the wild and beautiful Snæfellsnes peninsula, pack it with exhilarating activities, or simply take your time exploring the charming sights within the northernmost capital city in the world.
Winter is an exciting time in Iceland. This is when the country experiences snowfall and the landscapes are blanketed in an enchanting layer of white. The days are characterised by ethereal Arctic light, while the nights are long and dark, meaning that you’ll increase your chances of seeing the Northern Lights.
You’ll get to see some of the most breathtaking scenery in the world as you hunt for the Aurora Borealis in Iceland. Enjoy stunning waterfalls, vast lava fields, steaming geothermal wonders, snow capped mountains and black sand beaches as you make the return journey from west to east. Visit small fishing villages by the sea, weave your way between icebergs upon the Diamond Beach and marvel at the sheer beauty of the Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon. Throughout this unforgettable experience, you’ll have the chance to learn all about Icelandic culture, history and more.
To make your trip to Iceland all the more special, this tour includes a visit to an incredible ice cave located deep within Europe’s largest ice cap. There are few places in the world where it is possible to explore these wonders of nature, so be prepared for a truly magical experience. In addition, you’ll receive entry to the world-class spa facilities of the Blue Lagoon, where you can take a relaxing dip in geothermal pools to unwind after a week of exploring.
If you’d like to maximise your adventure, then there is the option of adding extra activities during the booking process. Dive into the crystal clear waters of Silfra fissure, glide across a glacier on a snowmobile, go riding on the back of an Icelandic horse, take a whale watching tour on the bay, witness the Northern Lights by boat or enter manmade ice tunnels within Langjökull glacier. The opportunities are endless!
