About this trip
Iceland Ring Road & Northern Lights 7N is a seven-night, land-only trip based in Reykjavík and on the South Coast. It suits first-time visitors who want glaciers, geothermal lagoons and, in season, the Northern Lights. Flights are booked separately, and visa assistance is included.
The trip starts and ends in Reykjavík, with the Golden Circle and the Blue Lagoon as day visits. In the middle, you stay two nights on the South Coast, where Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon is the main planned visit. Black-sand beaches, glaciers and ice caves are part of the route as the season and conditions allow.
Summer, from June to August, suits sightseeing and road travel. September to March suits Northern Lights viewing, although sightings depend on the sky and cannot be promised. Ask your planner to confirm how you will travel between stops, because a rental car or guided tour is the usual choice outside Reykjavík.
