Iceland Thrill and Relax Winter Combo

This morning, you’ll have the chance to actually walk inside an extinct Icelandic volcano. Stand inside the Raufarhólshellir cave, a hollow tube in the rock where lava would once have been rushing by. As you walk through the widest lava cave in Iceland, you’ll notice colorful rock formations in the walls left behind by the eruption 5,200 years ago.

In the afternoon, you’ll return to Reykjavík and have time to continue exploring the city. Why not unwind with a coffee and slice of cake after your expedition?

Hop in your super jeep in Reykjavík. First, your driver-guide will take you to Þingvellir (Thingvellir) National Park, the site of Iceland’s Viking-age parliament. It’s also the place where the European and North American tectonic plates are drifting apart.

Then you’ll head to Geysir, where the famous Strokkur geyser erupts 25 meters (80 feet) into the air. Here you can also see other geothermal formations like bubbling hot springs and mud pots.
Next you will round out the Golden Circle section of today’s tour by stopping at Gullfoss, one of the most spectacular waterfalls in Iceland.

Now you’ve whetted your appetite for adventure, you’ll head up onto the Langjökull glacier with your driver-guide. Your super jeep will navigate it with ease! Once you reach base camp, you’ll jump onto your 2-person snowmobile. Spend 1 hour exploring this mind-blowing glacial landscape.

After two action-packed adventure days, today is all about rest and relaxation. Have a leisurely breakfast in Reykjavík before being picked up for your retreat at the Blue Lagoon spa.

The Blue Lagoon is Iceland’s oldest and most famous geothermal spa, tracing its history back to the first public bathing facilities in the area in 1987. The lagoon’s milky blue waters are rich in silica, a mineral that nourishes your skin.

Included with your admission is a towel, silica mud mask, and a drink of your choice from the in-lagoon bar. So just slip into the silky waters and spend the day recharging. It’s also a great place to snap some uniquely Icelandic shots for your Insta!

On your final full day, you’ll jump into a super jeep and head to the Mýrdalsjökull glacier. There you’ll actually get to go under the glacier surface, equipped with crampons and led by your experienced guide.

Kötlujökull, an offshoot of the larger Mýrdalsjökull, creates some of the most spectacular ice caves in Iceland. You’ll get to walk inside these awesome formations, lined with blue, white and black walls of ice.

You’ll also stop at the jaw-dropping Seljalandsfoss waterfall, which you can actually walk behind. And if you’re traveling between 1 February and 15 November, you’ll also stop at its bigger brother Skógafoss just down the road.

Transfer from Reykjavík to Keflavík International Airport by Flybus (included).

After seeing and feeling Iceland’s majestic beauty for yourself, it’s time to go back home. You’ll leave with unforgettable memories of glaciers, hot springs, and silky blue waters – we bet it won’t be long until you start thinking about coming back!
