Discover Iceland's most popular city on a tour of Reykjavík that includes visits to the Perlan, the National Museum and other iconic landmarks as you immerse yourself in the "Land of Fire and Ice." Feel the thrilling rush of the “Big Three” in the Golden Circle, including the Gullfoss waterfall, the Strokkur geyser and the cracks and gorges of the Atlantic Ocean Ridge. Play hide and seek around the dark towering lava formations of Dimmuborgir and explore the beauty and birdlife of Lake Mývatn. Step back in time in Siglufjördur, where towering mountains serve as a backdrop for the fascinating Herring Era Museum, just miles from the Arctic Circle.
Throughout your Iceland exploration, enjoy a series of guided evening excursions in search of the aurora borealis. Look to the skies outside of Reykjavík and in the dark countryside that surrounds Akureyri, just below the Arctic, for one of the greatest light shows on Earth. Enjoy accommodations in the elegant Hótel Borg in the cosmopolitan capital of Reykjavík and the Icelandic-style Hótel Kea — located in the heart of Akureyri, the gateway to north Iceland.
