Day 1. Welcome to Reykjavik!
Welcome to Reykjavik! Make your way to the hotel once your flight has landed, then spend some time settling down in your room. You’re able to spend a few hours at leisure depending on your arrival time, then enjoy your included Northern Lights tour!
A Tip For Your Trip: A re-try for the Northern Lights is offered for free if you don't see them on your first evening.
Check-in - Grandi by Center Hotels
Reykjavik,
Iceland
At the heart of Reykjavik's funky creative quarter, Grandi by Center Hotels offers its guests a bar, cafe, and excellent proximity to the fun! Kick back in your comfortable guestroom and enjoy the minibar, free wifi, and other amenities. Take a dip in the outdoor lagoon and see if you can catch the Northern Lights!Â
Northern Lights Tour (RE62)
This tour takes you to see a spectacular phenomenon that can be seen from late August to mid-April. The northern lights, also known as the aurora borealis, are caused by the interaction of particles from the sun with the upper atmosphere near the Magnetic Pole.
Choosing a guided tour increases your chances of seeing the northern lights in Iceland. A team of experts reviews and studies the weather, locations, and aurora forecast on a daily basis to determine if the odds are in your favor. This tour is weather dependent and sightings are not guaranteed. However, you will experience Icelandic nature during the night, the Milky Way, stars, moon, clouds, and total darkness. Please note that indicated return times can vary. If you don‘t see any northern lights during this tour, you are invited to join the tour again, free of charge, if your schedule allows. Children are welcome on the tour, however, this can be a long and cold night and therefore it may not be suitable for children younger than 6 years old.
Day 2. Reykjavik
Discover some of the best things to do in Reykjavik today by strolling
around the colorful houses and pond of Tjörnin, admiring the dynamic
street art that lines Reykjavik's streets, and taking a picture of the
iconic Sun Voyager sculpture. You should also be sure to check out
Hallgrimskirkja Church. The church is iconic for its intricate
architecture and towering presence. Visiting it is pretty quick and
totally free, though you can pay a fee to climb to the top (which is
about 239 feet tall). Later, enjoy your included Icelandic lava show!
The Icelandic Lava Show, Reykjavik (ILS01) at 16:00
Lava Show, recreates a volcano eruption by superheating real lava up to 2000 degrees Fahrenheit and then pouring it into a showroom full of people. One of the highest rated attractions in Iceland. A one-of-a-kind experience that is both educational and thrilling. LAVA SHOW is the only live lava show in the world, a highly engaging experience that has received multiple awards on entertainment and innovation.
The highlight of the show is when everyone is advised to put on their security goggles and the lava starts pouring into the showroom. The bright orange color as the lava starts flowing into the room is like sunrise and as the lava starts gliding over the ice it starts to bubble and crackle. The most surprising aspect, however, is the intense heat that radiates from the lava and the temperature in the showroom quickly rises. For a few moments, the only thing you want to do is sit there transfixed on the lava, mesmerized by the sensory onslaught as you watch the lava cool in front of your eyes, slowly turning from bright orange to grey to black. It is an experience unlike anything else you have ever experienced.
Soon after the lava flows into the room, the show's host starts playing with the lava, explaining the different aspects of it and what it really was that you just witnessed. As the lava continues to cool down, the host is able to demonstrate some really interesting aspects and wonders of lava and encourages the audience into an interactive Q&A session.
Day 3. Reykjavik
Instead of having your included activity in the evening, your tour of the Golden Circle & Fridheimar Greenhouse will start a little earlier today. Your hotel features an on-site coffee house (also a few nearby cafes) so take advantage of these means to energize your day. Once you return from the tour, reward yourself with a hearty meal at another nearby restaurant.
Golden Circle & Fontana Wellness (SRE74)
This amazing day tour takes you around the Golden Circle to see three of Iceland’s highlights: Gullfoss waterfall, Geysir geothermal area and Thingvellir National Park, before heading to Fontana’s natural steam baths. The original sauna was built in the 1920s and was little more than a shack with two compartments, built above the hot spring that bubbles and gurgles below the ground. Today, a modern complex welcomes you to relax with various hot tubs and steam baths naturally heated by Icelandic hot springs.
Upon arrival in Fontana, you will take a short walk with a local person to a nearby natural hot spring which is used as a local natural bakery for the village. You will learn the method of baking a loaf of bread in a hot spring and watch while they dig up a typical Icelandic rye bread which has been slowly baked in the hot spring. Before dipping into the Fontana hot tubs and enjoying the natural steam baths, you will be offered a tasting of the rye bread. At Fontana you can have drinks while relaxing in the hot spring water and enjoying the spectacular view.
Day 4. Reykjavik
Finish packing and double check that you have everything before you check out of the hotel at the appropriate time. Then, head over to the airport to return home. Don’t forget to wave goodbye to Iceland before you depart!
