Iceland Holidays

Iceland's an island nation sitting just below the Arctic Circle, and it's got the geological drama to show for it. Icy blue glaciers run along the ground, geysers shoot water 30 metres into the air, and active volcanoes boil beneath scorched lava fields – resulting in toasty natural springs.

Between the fire and ice, Iceland's water features are impressive. Watch icebergs drift past on the Jokulsarlon glacial lagoon, or head out on a boat in search of orca whales. If you'd rather a hot bath, take a soak in the 37°C geothermal Blue Lagoon.

The fun doesn't stop at sundown – and sometimes the sun barely goes down at all. Summer nights stay pink and purple for hours, giving you more time to make the most of the day. The Northern Lights are most visible in winter, so stay up late for a chance to see a colourful display.

The northernmost capital city in the world, Reykjavik's big on quirk and colour – you'll know you're there from the painted corrugated iron buildings lining the streets. For wider views, clamber to the top of the tower at the Hallgrimskirkja Church.

We’ve got a whole heap of holiday packages for you to pick from in Iceland. Some of them include a pair of excursions – like a Golden Circle tour and an exciting hunt for the Northern Lights. Others do things the sweet-and-simple way, ticking off just your flights, hotel and transfers. That way, you’ve got shedloads of free time to get your teeth into Iceland’s best bits, as and when you fancy.
