What Iceland tours should you undertake? We delve into the islands touristic heart to discover a rich picking of attractions and tours.



The Blue Lagoon

If the definition of luxury, according to the Oxford English Dictionary is, a state of great comfort or a pleasure obtained only rarely. Then the Blue Lagoon attraction certainly meets those definitions. Set deep in the heart of the Icelandic landscape, this is one attraction that allows for a little bit of luxury and no end of pampering. As a top tip and peace of mind and body, it’s always worth purchasing your Blue Lagoon tickets in advance. Here’s why.

The Blue Lagoon counts itself as one of the most popular attractions in Iceland. It's a known fact that virtually every tourist will take a trip there. You'd be forgiven for thinking that because of its mass appeal, the Lagoon somehow loses its luxury tag. However, when you think that you can relax in the rich minerals of the water, spend time in a state of tranquility with a pampering session, or just sit and look at the spectacular scenery, there cannot be a better definition of luxury. Guaranteed, to be one of your Icelandic highlights.

The Golden Circle: Safari Icelandic style

To truly grasp the uniqueness of Iceland's landscape, you need to take a Golden Circle tour. Incorporating natural wonders such as Pingvellir, Geysir, and Gullfoss. That’s waterfalls, geysers, and volcanic landscapes to those not up on their Icelandic! This tour ensures you capture, through the eyes and the lenses, the majestic nature of this island. You may even feel like you have landed on the moon, it’s that kind of place.

If you are able? Then a snorkeling excursion could give you a different perspective of this incredible country. It may not have the glamour of diving in the tropics but Iceland is in the top ten places for diving. Plenty for you to get excited about then.



Northern Lights

Nature's greatest light show is one of the main reasons to head to Iceland. Its unpredictable occurrences make this an even more spectacular showpiece. Add in a luxury 4×4 campervan from Cozy Campers to capture this phenomenon and you’ll be the envy of your friends. This camper has large windows, a panoramic sunroof you can open, and a cozy sofa bed with a heating system that allows you to travel in comfort and convenience to chase the Northern Lights for as long as you like.  . You will also have a bag full of unforgettable memories. The high season is from October until April, so you may just be lucky enough to capture this natural waltz among the stars. In terms of luxury, well, there cannot be any greater ‘pleasure rarely obtained' than seeing this showpiece event with your own eyes.

Reykjavik and the South Coast

The capital can offer the ultimate in luxury, from hotels to fine traditional dining, to nights out that will live long in the memory. Although the city’s suburbs spread out far and wide, you need to book yourself on some Reykjavik tours. At times the number of tourists can out-number residents but don't let that put you off. From its galleries to its rich history in literature, from bus tours to bars and clubs, there is something for everyone.

Head out of the city and you can add in quad-biking tours or a trip to the Lava Caves? These trips will add greatly to your experience of Iceland. They also make for an adrenaline fueled experience and is a wonderful contrast to this most amazing of landscapes.



Whale Watching

Of course, it's all down to the whales themselves whether they decide to let you see them. Fortunately with Iceland among the world's great places to observe these creatures, you'll be unlucky not to spot one.
