Activity description
On our popular carbon-neutral day tour from Reykjavík, we combine the famous Golden Circle route with stops at local farms for some traditional tastes, a visit to a local spa, and a chance to see the Northern Lights.
Heading out of Reykjavík, we set our course through Þingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site, to the local greenhouse, Friðheimar. There, we get a taste of their delicious and homegrown tomato soup and freshly baked bread for lunch. Next, we visit the magnificent Gullfoss waterfall and the great Geysir geothermal area, where the reliable Strokkur geyser spouts hot water up to 30 m. After enjoying these jewels of Icelandic nature, we turn our attention back to the taste buds with a visit to the farm Efstidalur.
There, we get a few samples of their local products, such as farm-produced Skyr and delicious ice cream. For those who are ready for some relaxation at the geothermal spa Fontana, guests can choose the spa as an extra activity, or relax in the roomy reception of Fontana spa. Next up is a 2-course dinner at the local restaurant Lindin, renowned for using local ingredients and its cozy atmosphere. After a nice meal, we head out to explore the mysterious nights of Iceland while we search for the magical Northern Lights.
If no northern lights are seen you have a chance to re-book a Northern Lights tour.
Please note that the northern lights are a natural phenomenon, therefore sights cannot be guaranteed.
Please make sure to arrive 30 minutes before the start of the tour.
