NEW YEARS IN ICELAND | 3 DAYS

Hi guys,

Just back from Iceland which was the most incredible trip I’ve ever been on. The landscape is just so vast & different to anything I've seen before. We did 3 days, because of work etc, but I would love to have stayed for longer. I’d say 5 days would be a perfect trip.

All the details of what we did are below. There’s so much to do so make sure you do your research. Essentially you want to see the sites on the Golden Circle, the Ring Road and Reykjavik. And the Northern Light if you’re lucky. There’s so much to see you could spend weeks doing it.

Hope this is helpful anyway & I hope it encourages you to book because you won’t regret it!

Our itinerary looked like this:

Day one:
Blue Lagoon
Dinner in Maxs restaurant
Northern lights hunting at our hotel: Northern Light Inn

Day Two:
PCR at 8.45am
Thingvellir national park (40 mins to get here from Reykjavik)
Gullfoss falls (1 hr)
Geysir hot springs (10 mins)
Kerid crater (40 mins)
Hotel Von (1 hour back)
Dinner at Kopar
New Years at Hallgrimskirkja church

Day Three:
Seljalandsfoss Waterfall (2hrs)
Skogafoss waterfall (27 mins)
Solheimajokull glacier (15 mins)
Black sand beach in Vik (30 mins)
Northern lights hunting
Stay at Hotel Berg (near airport)

(Our plans changed on Day 3 - we went to the Fagradalsfjall Volcano instead & went back into Reykjavik for food in the Fish Shop & hot dogs from the famous Bæjarins Beztu Pylsur stand)

Other things I would have liked to have done if we had time:
The “Into the Glacier” Tour into the Ice Cave
Whale watching
Snow moiling
Hike a glacier
Black Sand Beach
A whole load of other waterfalls
And of course would love to see the Northern Lights… some day!

The website and app we used for tracking the Northern Lights was: https://auroraforecast.is/
