IcelandIt is easy to fall in love with the land of 'fire and ice.' The fascinating natural wonders of this ever-developing island, coupled with its welcoming people, endear it to so many. Iceland offers a wealth of holiday options including those specifically aimed at maximising your chances of a northern lights sighting. Although it is generally considered that the aurora is more likely to be seen away from sources of artificial light, strong sightings over Reykjavik, the capital, are quite common. AURORA NIGHTS is a self-drive trip based at the superb ranch-style Hotel Ranga set in a wonderful rural location. Close by, iconic waterfalls, spouting geysers and glaciers mean plenty of scope for daytime activities. The BLUE LAGOON SPA BREAK is for independent travellers. Stay at the aptly named Northern Light Inn, about 30 minutes from Reykjavik, which boasts a special 360° observation lounge. The hotel is also next to the world-famous Blue Lagoon and a dip here is a 'must' for any visitor to Iceland. Alternatively, holiday with like-minded travellers on our NORTHERN LIGHTS SPECIAL escorted tour and spend time at the two properties previously mentioned. Visit Gullfoss, the stunning tiered falls and the fascinating Geysir geothermal area. We specialise in tailor-made travel and offer various countryside properties suitable for aurora watching. With this flexible approach you can add optional excursions as you wish. One of the most thrilling ways to explore Iceland's volcanic and geothermal curiosities is on a superjeep excursion. You may be tempted to drive such a beast yourself (which you can do) but most prefer to sit back and enjoy the rather bumpy ride and let their driver/guide take the vehicles to their limits. For a longer break our ICELAND & ICEHOTEL trip also overnights in Stockholm, so three special places on one very popular holiday - see our website for details.
