Abstract
During our magical winter tour you will discover the wonders of Iceland and get to know the culture of this fascinating country. Set off in search of the Northern Lights and relax with a bathe in the warm thermal springs of the Secret Lagoon. Admire the erupting geysers, the frozen waterfalls and the famous Jökulsarlon glacier lagoon, from whose waters spectacular icebergs emerge. This programme has been specifically designed to let you make the most of the Northern Lights that shine in Iceland's skies during the winter season. Thanks to as many as 2 overnight stays in the Kirkjubæjarklaustur area (one of the best areas for admiring the aurora), you will only need to step outside your hotel to try to spot the Northern Lights, without having to take any excursion! (N.B. the aurora is a natural phenomenon and cannot be guaranteed).

Giorno 2 — Reykjavik → Golden Circle → Selfoss
Breakfast. The day will begin with a visit to the Northern Lights Centre to learn a little more about this spectacular phenomenon. Continuation to Golden Circle. We will see the famous site of Strokkur, a geyser that erupts every 7 minutes and shoots a jet of water up to 40 metres high, and the legendary Gullfoss waterfall, which plunges into a canyon 70 metres deep. In the afternoon we will take you to the Secret Lagoon, an authentic thermal lagoon where you can bathe and relax. Don't forget to bring your swimming costume. It is an unforgettable experience. Arrival at Selfoss in the evening. Dinner at the hotel. Accommodation Hotel Selfoss.

Giorno 3 — Selfoss → Sudurland Region (Islanda del Sud) → Kirkjubaejarklaustur
Breakfast. We will continue on to Skogafoss, and then towards Reynisfjara with its black sand beach. The contrast of colours is particularly striking in winter. Continue to Kirkjubæjarklaustur. Upon arrival, accommodation in a hotel will be arranged. After dinner, get ready for a walk outside the hotel, during which you will try to spot the Northern Lights. You need only go a few steps away from the hotel to find yourself in ideal conditions for sighting them. As well as a clear sky, a little luck is always needed to admire the aurora, and this phenomenon cannot be guaranteed or predicted well in advance. Should conditions not be good, your tour leader will nevertheless entertain you with interesting information about this extraordinary natural phenomenon. Dinner at the hotel. Accommodation Fosshotel Nupar.

Although surrounded by glaciers, the park is one of the Icelandic regions least affected by snow thanks to the southerly winds. Continuation to Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon. This evening too, you will have another chance to try to spot the Northern Lights directly from your hotel, once again in the company of our expert tour leader. Dinner at the hotel. Accommodation Fosshotel Nupar.

Before reaching the capital we will cross the geothermal area of Hveragerdi, a place known for its geological activity and for the hot steam rising from the ground. Continue to Reykjavík. Dinner free. Accommodation Hotel Klettur.
Optional excursions.
BLUE LAGOON ENTRANCE: (Guide services not included) An unforgettable swim in a science-fiction film setting. The Blue Lagoon is the result of the initial drilling to reach underground thermal waters that were to be used to heat two fishing ports and a NATO base. The temperature of the pressurised blob turned out to be far higher than expected. Icelandic engineers quickly solved the problem by heating clear, pure water with well water and creating a lake of sky-blue warm water with evident dermatological virtues.
