Epic Iceland

Your Icelandic odyssey begins in Reykjavik, the northernmost capital in the world and the cosmopolitan gateway to the natural wonders of the south.
From the city, you’ll head out on expertly-guided adventures to the dramatic south coast, including the thundering Seljalandsfoss and Skogafoss waterfalls, plus the iconic black sands and roaring waves of Reynisfjara’s striking beach. You’ll also visit the renowned Golden Circle, a hotbed of geothermal activity where hot springs bubble up through lava fields. Snorkel between tectonic plates at Silfra fissure and race across remote landscapes on ATVs to a secret viewpoint for the mighty Gullfoss waterfall. After dark, your passionate guide will take you out to chase the Northern Lights, using modern technology to identify the best locations for finding a breathtaking solar display.

At the end of each action-packed day, you will retreat to the contemporary comfort of Tower Suites, set at the top of the country’s second tallest building, where the finest mod-cons and unrivalled views of the city await you in your Luxury Corner Suite.

Take to the sky by helicopter for a birds-eye view of Reykjavik, before soaring over Thingvellir National Park and into the dramatic Icelandic highlands, past Hofsjokull glacier before landing on top of Langjokull glacier. Fly up to the wild north and through the snow-covered peaks of the Troll Peninsula to Deplar Farm, where you’ll land on a lava field right beside the lodge.

Spend your days discovering the spectacular wilderness that surrounds you with the comprehensive programme of exclusive tailor-made adventures that are included, from snowmobiling, hiking and fat biking to whale watching, surfing and hot spring tours. From mid-March, when heli-season begins, you can fly up to a peak of your choosing and ski down virgin runs. From the exquisite cuisine and wines served at each meal to the irresistible spa with its north-facing geothermal outdoor pool providing the most magical of setting for watching the Aurora Borealis dance across the sky, your time here will leave you wanting for nothing (except to stay for longer) – there really is nowhere else like it in Iceland.

After flying back down to the south, experience the therapeutic wonders of the Blue Lagoon with an overnight stay at The Retreat at Blue Lagoon, a luxurious all-suite hotel offering direct access to a private section of the Blue Lagoon’s geothermal mineral-rich waters. Discover new dimensions of peace and rejuvenation at the Retreat’s spa, where you can enjoy a massage in the subterranean therapy suites or indulge with an in-water treatment – the perfect end to an unforgettable Icelandic escapade.
