Winter Expedition: Beneath Ice & Lava

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

Welcome to wintry Iceland, where your adventure begins. Spend your first day soaking in the energy of Reykjavík, the lively capital city. You might choose to stroll along the historic old harbor, enjoy a meal at a cozy local restaurant, or unwind in one of the city’s renowned geothermal pools before your first full day of activities.

Overnight in Reykjavik.

Breakfast at the hotel.

This morning, step inside the Raufarhólshellir lava tunnel—an extinct volcano where molten lava once flowed. As you explore Iceland’s largest lava cave, admire the colorful rock formations left behind by an eruption over 5,000 years ago.

In the afternoon, return to Reykjavík with time to relax—perhaps with a coffee and cake at a local café.

In the evening, join a guided Northern Lights hunt by bus (included). Want a smaller group or more adventure? Upgrade to a super jeep, boat, or intimate tour.

Note: The Northern Lights are a natural phenomenon, so sightings aren’t guaranteed. Tours may be rescheduled if weather conditions aren’t suitable.

Climb aboard your super jeep in Reykjavík and set off on an unforgettable adventure. Your first stop is Þingvellir National Park, where Iceland’s Viking parliament once met and the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates slowly drift apart.

Next, visit the Geysir geothermal area to witness Strokkur erupting up to 25 meters (80 feet) into the air, surrounded by bubbling hot springs and steaming vents. Then it’s on to Gullfoss, one of Iceland’s most breathtaking waterfalls.

From there, head into the highlands as your super jeep tackles the icy terrain of Langjökull glacier. At base camp, switch to a two-person snowmobile and spend an hour zipping across the vast, frozen landscape.

Overnight in Reykjavik.

Spend the day diving deeper into Iceland’s capital, Reykjavík. Discover its fascinating museums, browse unique shops, and savor local flavors at its many restaurants and cafés. You can also unwind at one of the city’s numerous heated public pools or spas.

Alternatively, choose from one of our popular optional day tours—please note that only one tour can be booked per day.

Today brings your second super jeep adventure—this time to Mýrdalsjökull, Iceland’s fourth-largest glacier. Gear up for a guided hike across stunning ice formations and deep crevasses.

Soon you’ll reach Kötlujökull, where you’ll step inside a striking black-and-blue ice cave formed by the interaction of glacial ice and the dormant Katla volcano beneath.

On the way back, stop at Seljalandsfoss waterfall, famous for the path that lets you walk behind the cascading water. If you’re visiting between February 1 and November 15, you’ll also visit the mighty Skógafoss just nearby.

Set out along Iceland’s stunning South Coast to visit the magical Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon, where massive icebergs drift across a serene, glacial lake. Just across the road, stroll along Diamond Beach, where glittering ice chunks from the lagoon wash up on the black sand shore—creating a scene straight out of a fairytale. It’s a long but unforgettable day packed with breathtaking scenery.

If time allows before your flight, consider a relaxing visit to the Blue Lagoon. It’s the perfect way to unwind and leave Iceland feeling refreshed.

If you choose this option, you’ll be picked up from your hotel and taken to the Blue Lagoon, where luggage storage is available (for a fee). After your soak, you’ll continue on to the airport for your departure.
