Blue Lagoon & Northern Lights Tour
Experience two of Iceland’s most unforgettable winter highlights on the Blue Lagoon & Northern Lights Tour from Reykjavik. Relax in the warm geothermal waters of the Blue Lagoon. Then, head out after dark in search of the spectacular Aurora Borealis.
Your afternoon begins with a comfortable transfer from Reykjavik to the Blue Lagoon. The journey takes you through the volcanic landscapes of the Reykjanes Peninsula.
Relax at Iceland’s Famous Blue Lagoon
Your Blue Lagoon Comfort admission is included in the tour. Therefore, you can simply relax and enjoy the mineral-rich geothermal water and dramatic volcanic surroundings.
The Comfort package includes a silica mud mask, towel and one drink at the in-water bar. You will also have access to a private locker, shampoo, conditioner and moisturizer.
After your relaxing soak, a comfortable coach takes you back to Reykjavik. You will then have free time to enjoy dinner, relax and prepare for your evening adventure.
Hunt for the Northern Lights from Reykjavik
After dark, your Northern Lights tour from Reykjavik begins. Experienced guides monitor the weather, cloud cover and aurora forecast each evening.
Therefore, the destination can change from night to night. Your guides choose the best available location for Northern Lights viewing based on the evening’s conditions.
Once away from Reykjavik’s city lights, look towards the dark Icelandic sky for the Aurora Borealis. When conditions are right, the Northern Lights can create an unforgettable display above the Icelandic landscape.
However, the Northern Lights are a natural phenomenon, so sightings cannot be guaranteed. If you do not see them during your tour, you can join another Northern Lights tour free of charge, subject to the operator’s terms and availability.
Two Iconic Iceland Experiences in One Day
This combination tour brings together two completely different Icelandic experiences. First, unwind in the geothermal waters of the Blue Lagoon. Then, spend your evening searching Iceland’s dark skies for the Northern Lights.
For winter visitors who want to experience both attractions, the Blue Lagoon & Northern Lights Tour offers an easy way to enjoy them in one memorable day.
