Introduction
An enthralling break for adventurers young and
old in this volcanic land of glaciers, waterfalls and geysers. We
explore rugged landscapes by Superjeep; hope to witness the surreal
'firework show' of the Northern Lights and, if the snow conditions
allow, we can take to snowmobiles for a James Bond-style speed across
the snow. We finish off with a dip in the steaming turquoise waters
of the world famous Blue Lagoon.
Tour
information
THORSMORK & THE NORTHERN LIGHTS
From the capital Reykjavik, we head off in outrageous 'Superjeeps'
(complete with huge tyres and satellite navigation) on a wild ride
into the valley of Thorsmork - a landscape of glacial moraine and
lakes crackling with ice. On the return leg we drive across lava
fields and, weather permitting, into the hills to find a point from
which we hope to view the dazzling 'Aurora Borealis'.
WATERFALLS, GEYSIRS &
BLUE LAGOON
A favourite optional activity is a tour of the region's natural
wonders, including the towering waterfall of Gullfoss and Geysir,
the spouting hot spring after which all others are named. Alternatively,
if the snow is suitable, how about a snowmobile ride up in the hills
(instruction and crash helmets are both provided). Then why not
round off your adventure with a dip in the Blue Lagoon: bathtime
will never be the same again...
Accommodation and Meals
3nts guesthouse; 3 breakfasts & 1 dinner
included.
Transport
Bus/Superjeep.
Comments
A hotel-based trip - short, sharp, exhilarating
and suitable for all abilities. The optional snow-mobiling trip
is subject to snow conditions. The best time to view the Northern
Lights is between October and March, although sightings are also
dependent upon favourable weather conditions.
