Luxury Iceland Holidays

Iceland’s spectacular beauty needs to be seen to be believed. With glittering glaciers and erupting geysers, thermal lagoons, hot springs, and of course, an opportunity to view the unforgettable Northern Lights, this is Mother Nature at her most powerful.

VOLCANIC LANDSCAPES, GLACIER FIELDS, AND ILLUMINATED SKIES

Iceland is an adventure traveller’s dream come true. Take an exhilarating helicopter ride to marvel at the lunar landscape from above before landing on a volcano or enjoy a glacier trek through the Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon, the unforgettable setting of blockbusters Tomb Raider and two Bond films (to name a few). Feel like an intrepid explorer with a snowmobile tour over the Langjokull Glacier to discover the famous hot spring of Geysir and the cascading Gulfoss waterfall, while in Silfra you can descend the water’s depths and dive between two tectonic plates.

Wildlife spotting opportunities are abundant in Iceland, with whale-spotting tours from Rekyjavik, and puffin encounters in the eastern fjords. 

The capital Reykjavik is earning itself a reputation as one of Europe’s coolest city break hot spots. With a quirky art scene, colourful architecture, and intriguing museums to visit, as well as a wide choice of bars and restaurants with everything from gourmet cuisine to the famous Icelandic hot dog “Bæjarins bestu”.

Iceland’s most popular draw is undoubtedly the Northern Lights. Winter skies offer the best opportunity to view this unbelievable spectacle, and a luxury Northern Lights tour is the perfect way to chase them as your guide takes you to some of the best viewing spots in the country.
