NORTHERN LIGHTS

£45 pp

Climb aboard for an evening hunt for the beautiful auroras known as the Northern Lights. Sometimes white, wispy and elusive and at others rainbow coloured, swirling and dramatic. The Norwegian, who first gave an explanation as to how they came about was driven mad (literally) by them: if you are lucky enough to catch a sighting your reaction may be a touch more muted!  Hotel pick-up at 9.30 am for 3/5 hours.

BLUE LAGOON, GULLFOSS & GEYSIR

£ 65 pp 

A full day excursion beginning with the Blue Lagoon whose warm, turquoise blue waters lie amongst the black rocks of a lava field: not only fun but also good for you, since there is now all sorts of scientific evidence that the Lagoon’s mineral salts help you relax and its white silica mud nourishes and softens the skin. From here you travel to Pingvellir where the early Viking settlers decided to stop raping and pillaging and set up a parliament instead. And then, on to Gullfoss, in winter a giant mass of frozen stalagmites and stalagtites overflowing with foaming water, before arriving at the famous Geysir area. Return to Reykjavik.  Hotel pick-up at 8.30 am for 10 hours.

BLUE LAGOON & KEFLAVIK TRANSFER

SUPER JEEP LOBSTER FEST

£ 130 pp 

Iceland’s lava fields are so surreal they seem as though they belong to another world (in fact, NASA uses them to replicate the surface of the moon), but when illuminated by the blues and greens of the Northern Lights, they will take your breath away. We believe this tour, in which you negotiate the tricky mountain tracks from the astounding comfort of a luxury superJeep (a specially converted version of the world’s largest SUV, complete with four-foot wheels and deflatable tyres for gliding across the ice), is the way to experience them in true style. Depart from Reykjavik just as the sun begins to set, and drive under the stars down to the fishing village of Fjorubordid. Round off the evening by settling down to a platter of freshly caught lobster in butter and garlic. Hotel pick-up at 6.30/7.00 am

GLACIAL VISTAS

£ 145 pp 

To the uninitiated glaciers are simply big blobs of ice; to environmentalists, frozen mines of information stored for thousands of years; to the adventurous, playgrounds to snowmobile or husky safari on; to the everyday traveller, simply awesome sights to gaze at. Above all they are living breathing things, compacting from falling snow at their centres, negligently crushing rock at their sides and irrigating their edges with melt water. This trip takes you across barren wild terrain past weathered moors, waterfalls, volcanoes and mountains to the edge of a glittering glacier. Once there you clamber aboard a caterpillar-wheeled former rocket launcher to cross the deep fissured edge up to the top where, depending on weather and season, you can take an optional snowmobile safari. Hotel pick-up at 8.30 am for 9-10 hours.  Optional Snowmobile £80 per person
