Day 1Fly to Reykjavík, Iceland

Are you excited to visit Iceland? Time to board your Icelandair flight for the overnight to our hub at Keflavík International Airport! Keep your eyes peeled in the winter as you just may see the northern lights dancing beside you!

Day 2Welcome to Iceland

Check in at your hotel in Reykjavík and get comfortable for your stay in Iceland. Check-in times generally range between 2 - 3pm. However, most hotels can store your bags while you take a stroll and explore and enjoy the Nordic vibe of the world’s northernmost capital. There's plenty of lovely restaurants to choose from for a bite to eat. If you have extra time, check out our wide range of tours and activities, including whale watching and horse riding.

Day 3Go hunting for the northern lights

Now your northern lights city break truly begins. Spend the day at your leisure. Your Northern Lights Hunt tour is booked for late evening and takes you to the best viewing location for that night, as decided by Mother Nature. The northern lights might appear just outside of Reykjavík or perhaps from the middle of a lava field an hour's drive into the countryside. Every tour is unique, which is part of the adventure and your guide will use the most up-to-date weather and solar activity reports to plan your route. Coaches are equipped with free Wi-Fi. Departures range from 9 to 10pm, depending on the time of year, with hotel pick-ups beginning at 30 minutes prior. The northern lights are a natural phenomenon and their appearance cannot be guaranteed.

Please Note: If your tour is canceled due to unfavorable weather conditions, or your tour operates as scheduled without any northern lights sightings, you have the option of joining the tour the following night for free (subject to availability). If your tour is canceled due to weather conditions and you’re unable to reschedule, you may request a full refund for the included northern lights tour only.

Day 4A day all to your own

Make the most of your Iceland short break with a day of free time to use as you please. Either extend your time in Reykjavík and explore what our capital has to offer or customize your trip with day tours and experiences like our popular Golden Circle tour or a visit to the the Sky Lagoon. You will also have time to enjoy the cozy cafes and lively local nightlife.

Day 5Optional: Add a day to explore more of Iceland

Not ready to go home? If you want to extend your nothern lights break or long weekend, you can add an extra day in Reykjavík or South Iceland. From lava horseback riding to glacier walks and whale watching – there’s plenty to keep you entertained! So much so you can extend your vacation for up to 30 days.

Your final dayYour last day in Iceland ... for now!

Bid farewell to Iceland (for now!) before heading to Keflavík for your return flight home with Icelandair!
