Experience the spectacular northern lights on a 15-day Bentours journey that captures the best of breathtaking Iceland in the spectacular winter months. You might just have to pinch yourself when you witness the aurora borealis with this otherworldly backdrop.
In the Land of Fire and Ice the remarkable landscape evolves before your eyes with its dramatic volcanic terrain, geysers, hot springs, cascading waterfalls, calving glaciers and unusual black-sand beaches. It truly encapsulates what a wild and striking landscape should be.
The tour starts in Reykjavík, the world’s most northern capital. Here you’ll get a glimpse of the city’s outstanding museums, innovative restaurants, creative design and bustling nightlife, all set against a sweeping backdrop of the sea and snow-capped mountains.
Then you’re off. There is so much to explore in this incredible country and we’ll hit the best. Check out a shark farm and taste its wares. Visit turf-roofed churches and local craft breweries. Walk across lava fields. And, of course, you’ll have the opportunity to bathe in some of Iceland’s famous hot pools.
Then look upwards for at least six nights – they are weather dependent – and enjoy walks, lectures and discussions about the glittering northern lights. When you see them, it’s a moment you’ll remember your entire life.
Prices for the Bentours 15-day Iceland Aurora Explorer start at about US$6650 a person, twin share.
