Introduction

This exciting weekend break offers a whole variety of unusual experiences: a chance to see the amazing Northern Lights and 'superjeep' into spectacular volcanic landscapes; take a surreal dip in the therapeutic waters of the Blue Lagoon, or perhaps try a spot of snowmobiling.

Tour information

Thorsmork and the Northern Lights
From Iceland's famous capital, Reykjavik, we head off in outrageous 'superjeeps' (complete with huge tyres) on a wild ride to Thorsmork. Surrounded by glaciers, Thorsmork is arguably Iceland's most beautiful valley, but the drive - across glacial moraine, past lakes filled with ice, and through rivers - is as exciting as the valley is spectacular. On the return leg of our round trip we drive across lava fields and, weather permitting, into the hills to find a point from which we hope, to view the awesome Aurora Borealis.

Waterfalls, Geysirs & Blue Lagoon
We have left the second day free allowing you to tailor your activities to suit your preferences. A popular option for our groups is to take a tour of some of the country's incredible natural wonders, including Gullfoss, an enormous waterfall, and Geysir, the spouting hot spring after which all others are named. Depending on the time of year and snow conditions you might like to head up into the hills for an adventurous snowmobile ride (don't worry - both instruction and crash helmets are provided!). With the chance to sample Reykjavik's infamous nightlife, and a recuperative dip in the Blue Lagoon on our last day, this truly is the ultimate Icelandic adventure break.
