21 December

Transfer from Keflavík International Airport to your hotel in Reykjavík (included).

Welcome to Iceland at Christmastime! Immerse yourself in Reykjavík’s festive atmosphere as you explore the city, decked out in lights and decorations. Spend the afternoon roaming the city center, stopping by Christmas markets and boutiques to pick up locally made gifts.

In the evening, join a Northern Lights expedition in the countryside. You’ll escape the bright lights of the city to a spot that’s ideal for seeing the Aurora. If skies are clear and solar activity is high, you might just get to see them dance overhead.

If luck isn’t with you tonight, you can go on another Northern Lights excursion for free later on in your trip.

You also have the option to upgrade to a small group excursion for a more intimate experience, or even a trip via super jeep or boat if you’re feeling adventurous!

The Golden Circle needs little introduction: it is home to some of the most stunning and famous sights in Iceland. You will see the hot spring Strokkur shoot a column of water up to 30 meters (98 feet) into the air every 4-8 minutes. It is a thrilling experience that never gets old. 

You will stop to admire the magnificent Gullfoss (Golden Falls) waterfall, created where the river Hvítá tumbles and plunges into a crevice some 32 meters (105 feet) deep. This tour also includes the historical and geological wonder, Þingvellir National Park, where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates are pulling apart at a rate of a few centimeters per year.

Included experience

Included with your package is a visit to the idyllic Friðheimar greenhouse cultivation center. Here you and your group will learn about the magic behind growing delicious, pesticide-free tomatoes and cucumbers with the aid of the geothermal heat that Iceland has in abundance.

Alternatively, you can upgrade to a different adventure on this day. All experiences include a Golden Circle tour, so you won’t miss out on this classic touring route.

If you’re a nature lover, today you’re in for a treat! You’ll get to explore Iceland’s south coast, home to some of the country’s most breathtaking natural sights.  

First up are the mighty Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss waterfalls, both towering at 60 meters (197 feet). At Seljalandsfoss, you’ll even get the chance to walk behind its powerful plume by following the marked footpath. We recommend bringing a waterproof jacket if you don’t want to get wet. 

Next, you’ll head to the charming village of Vík, where you can walk along Iceland’s most famous black sand beach, Reynisfjara. Look out for the massive Reynisdrangar rock formations and the basalt columns that line the beach. 

During your visit, make sure to keep a safe distance from the shore and follow the signs. Reynisfjara is known for its powerful tides and currents. 

On your way back to Reykjavík, your final stop is the beautiful Sólheimajökull glacier. Here you’ll walk to a lake fed by the melting ice.

Today is Christmas Eve, when Icelanders kick off their festivities. So it’s time to get into the holiday spirit and join the celebrations!

In the morning

You’ll also get to taste local delicacies, including hákarl (fermented shark) and harðfiskur (air-dried fish). These can be an acquired taste, so luckily more palatable festive treats are also on the menu.

In the afternoon, you’ll have a few hours to spend as you like before the evening’s festivities.
