Christmas tour to Iceland. Northern lights hunting

Group meeting in Reykjavik. We will devote this day to getting to know the Christmas city and walking along its cozy streets. Of course, we will try the local cuisine!

Reykjavik will be decorated and filled with a Christmas charm and celebration atmosphere. Trolls are dancing on the walls, lots of lights, and an impressive Christmas cat who will be looking for the bad kids. Reykjavik is a small but interesting city, unlike other world capitals. The very tiny historical center with wooden houses looks cozy and cute. The wide stone embankment and unusual Scandinavian sculptures give the city contrast and modernity. In our opinion, the most exciting activity will be searching for a variety of graffiti scattered throughout the streets of Reykjavik.

Reykjavik in winter is especially charming; it is during the cold months that its Nordic Scandinavian spirit is clearly felt here.

Those interested in seeing whales in their habitat can take a whale safari from the local port.

We will have dinner at local restaurant in the evening and try delicious food. Let's get acquainted and discuss plans for the entire trip.

This day will be filled with natural wonders.

The first thing we will go to look at is the crater of the Kerid volcano, yes, this is a real volcano crater, it is not big, but very picturesque. We will go around it in a circle and look inside.

Our next stop is Thingvellir National Park, the only UNESCO site in Iceland. The park is located right between the European and North American tectonic plates and is famous for its natural beauty. This is the best place on the planet to see the edges of these two continents. The Icelandic Parliament, the oldest functioning parliament in the world, the Althingi, was founded here.

After lunch, we will try to catch the huge Geysir geyser, which gave its name to all other similar phenomena on the planet :)

It's mostly dormant now, but the nearby Strokkur Geyser erupts roughly every 5 minutes. This spectacle is truly impressive. The land around is painted in different colors, and hot springs are found at every turn.

The fourth natural wonder of the day is the full-flowing and powerful waterfall Gullfoss. Gullfoss is one of the most impressive waterfalls in Iceland. Its size and power are amazing. You can admire it from several viewing platforms.

After a busy day, we go to our cozy hotel. Use sauna and hot tubes and relax.

We check the application for the probability of northern lights.

We will start our day with a visit to the glacier, we will see it very close, so close that you can touch its icy black and blue steep walls. We will have lunch at a local restaurant and continue to explore the south. Next up are the three breathtaking waterfalls Skógafoss, Seljalandsfoss and Nautusagil. These waterfalls are very different and each of them is incredibly beautiful.

Today is our Christmas party, so we will have a nice dinner, a spa and a chance to see the Northern Lights as a fabulous gift :)

This day will give us vivid emotions and beautiful views. We will hold a lovely Christmas photo session and take many cozy photos for memory.

Then, we will discover the famous black beaches with basalt columns of Reynisfjara and the sheer cliffs of Dyrholaey. Let's feel the salty drops of the ocean on our faces, let's try to lie down in the wind and stand above the abyss.

We will have dinner at a local restaurant, in the evening you can relax in the baths with thermal water.
