7-Day Northern Lights Discovery of Iceland Tour
The cold weather and arctic atmosphere in Iceland are maybe not the ideal conditions for many people. But you should think again! With active volcanoes, sparkling lagoons, spell-binding Northern Lights, and impossibly black beaches, it's no wonder this is the Land of Fire and Ice. Whether it's the never-ending hot chocolate in Reykjavík, taking control of the wheel on the Ring Road, which runs around the island, or trekking through magical ice caves on the South Coast, an Iceland vacation promises unique experiences not found anywhere else in the world.
Some Highlights:
A must experience in Blue Lagoon Hot Spring. Inclusive of entrance ticket, bath towel, nutritious mud mask, special drinks. Hold an ice drink and soak in the blue natural hot spring for a beautiful photo!
Walking along the Diamond Beach: countless ice stones, shining like diamonds, are too beautiful to be true. No wonder movies such as "Tomb Raider" and "Interstellar" were filmed here.
Direct airport pick-up and drop-off: Arrange the airport pick-up and drop-off directly to the hotel, so you won’t worry about getting lost again!
Giant Basin Crater: The 14-meter deep giant basin crater up close!
Head to the north end of the world to chase after Northern Lights personally.

Visitors often step on both sides of the crack to enjoy the sense of accomplishment "across two continents".
