THE LAND OF FIRE AND ICE
Whether visiting for a weekend or en route to North America as part of a longer holiday, Reykjavik offers the perfect base to explore the fascinating geothermal wonders Iceland has to offer. Iceland’s small yet colourful capital has a vibrant nightlife and burgeoning creative food scene.
Just a 30-minute drive from the capital, you can bathe in the milky-blue waters of the Blue Lagoon - Iceland’s most popular attraction. Surrounded by a craggy jet black lavascape, you can relax and rejuvenate in the warm, mineral-rich water from 2,000m underground. Also, be sure to try out a silica mud mask with its unique cleansing qualities.
The Route 1 highway goes around the most populated areas and popular sights in the country including the Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss waterfalls, Dyrhólaey cliffs and the Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon; creating an unforgettable self-drive holiday.
Home to the dramatic rift valley connecting the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates, stunning geysers and the mighty Gullfoss Falls; the Golden Circle is the perfect taste of the geological wonders that lie ahead on Iceland’s ring road including the Geysir Geothermal Area with its spouting springs and active geysers; as well as Thingvellir National Park - home to Silfra Fissure, where you can snorkel between the two plates and its crystal-clear waters.
While the Northern Lights are never guaranteed, Iceland is traditionally one of the world’s best destinations for sightings. Two nights at the Hotel Laki, far from any light pollution, offers a great location to maximise your chances of seeing this natural phenomenon. The ‘Aurora Borealis’ features as one of our Top 10 Natural Wonders.
There are plenty more activities to try out on this unique island; take an exhilarating hike around and beneath Vatnajokull, Europe’s largest glacier; spot humpback whales off Húsavik (the whale watching capital of Europe); or check out some of the filming locations from the TV series Game of Thrones.
