Small Bus Northern Lights Tour from Reykjavik at 9:30 pm (opens in a new tab)

1 3 h

Since it is more difficult to see the northern lights from Reykjavik, the tour will take place as far outside the city boundaries and away from light pollution as possible. The final destination is not known in advance because it depends on the amount of cloud cover and nighttime activity. The drive will be as short as possible, and there may be multiple stops because the lights can be difficult to find. It is frequently a waiting game for this stunning phenomenon, but it is always worthwhile. If the guide identifies a site as a decent location, we might stay in that spot. Your guide will set up their camera to take pictures of your group as you look for the Aurora Borealis. Your tour guide will make sure that everyone has a chance to take a picture. As we wait for the aurora to appear, cuddle up under cozy blankets, indulge in a self-service selection of hot chocolate and nibbles, and enjoy some stargazing.

Hot and cold G spots challenge (opens in a new tab)

3 6 h – 7 h

Like Ralph Waldo Emerson once said. Do not go where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail. Agenda is as simple as 2 + 2 first we’ll warm up hiking to our farthest destination, before descending into each cave we start with stretching, then exploration time and be ready for some squats, push-ups and more stretching ! More effort you put into these exercises more you’ll see and oh boy take our word for it, there is plenty to see ! Depending on your fit level we’ll see anywhere between 2 to 4 caves. So you’ll get some cardio/ work out day for sure. We do caving often and we know there is nothing better than warm bath after half a day spent underground in humid and cool environment but than again bath sounds sooo boring. Unless you are in Iceland where you can just simply submerge yourself in a natural hot geothermal stream... Found in a beautiful valley up in the mountains, enjoining tasty Icelandic style hot dog prepared with a help of hot springs!
