City Tour features Reykjavík city, also known, as “smoky bay” is the world's most northerly capital. The name derives from the first settlers who noticed steam rising from the ground from the hot springs in Reykjavík. The main landmarks, such as The Pearl and Hallgrímskirkja church and the National Museum of Iceland are visited. A tour where Reykjavík's renowned charm and bustling life is brought to light. $25 per person Golden Circle Tour features
You can walk around the world-famous Geysir area, a geothermal field where hot springs are in abundance, geysers explode and pools of mud bubble. Another of many highlights of the tour is the volcanic crater, Kerið, and another is the Gullfoss waterfall, the queen of Iceland's waterfalls, tumbling down a deep gorge. Finally, but no less spectacular is a visit to the Þingvellir National Park. This is the place of the most historic events in Iceland and exceptional beauty. Þingvellir is the original site of the oldest existing parliament in the world. The Great Atlantic rift is clearly visible, a rift which is slowly pulling Iceland apart along tectonic plates. $50 per person Northern Lights Tour features
The Northern Lights, also known as the Aurora Borealis are a spectacular natural phenomenon, often seen dancing around in fantastic colours across the Arctic sky. The Northern lights originate from the sun, where large explosions and electronic storms throw flares and solar particles deep into space. The solar particles collide with the atmospheric gases and create this wonderful light effect, known as the Aurora Borealis. Northern Lights can be seen when certain weather conditions are fulfilled, usually during crispy cold and very still evenings. $25 per person
