Fire, ice, and light that doesn't quit.
Eight days from Reykjavík out along the South Coast and the Golden Circle — geysers, waterfalls, a glacier lagoon full of drifting icebergs, whale watching, and two very different kinds of geothermal bathing to end each day on. Go in June and the sun barely sets; go in April and you might still catch the northern lights on a clear night before spring properly arrives.
The essentials, unmoved.
This is an AskAnt set package — the hotels, routing and inclusions on this page are the ones we run. Ant can shape a fully custom trip around it (dates, add-ons, party size), but the bones of this journey stay as published.
