This incredible break takes you to 2 remote destinations with some of the most stunning landscape on this planet. You will see Icebergs, Volcanoes, Glaciers, Geysers and Whales – all under the evocative pink midnight sunset!
Going out on a midnight sunset boat cruise to see the Icebergs is an incredible memory you will talk about for many years. That is before I mention that you also have an extremely high chance of seeing Whales fluke in front of the Icebergs in Disko Bay.
The pink hues of “sunset” contrasting against the white of the icebergs and the blue of the sky are incredibly beautiful and “good for the soul”.
The long daylight hours mean you can pack in seeing so much of the dramatic wild country of Iceland. Prepare for extraordinary Volcanic scenery and Superjeep tours that take you into the heart of wilderness and away from the summer crowds. Stay in your own private wilderness cabin with the backdrop of Eyjafjallajökull Volcano to please your eye!
The SuperJeep Adventure and Golden Circle 4WD Tour can be upgraded to Private if you wish. Please ask at time of enquiry.
Fly to Reykjavik, the capital of Iceland to start your amazing Greenland and Iceland Midnight Sun Adventure. A flybus will take you to the centre of Reykjavik.
Afterwards we would recommend you try one of the many delicious and very high quality seafood restaurants in Reykjavik. Overnight in Reykjavik.
The Reykjanes Peninsula provides a beautiful landscape with volcanic and geothermal wonders and a surf-pounded coast, as well as the opportunity to see the newest part of the planet created by the 2021 Volcanic eruption.
The driver guide will pick you up from your hotel in Reykjavik and take you to the hiking route towards the recent volcanic eruption in Geldingadalur. You will spend about 1 hour at the eruption site and the hike there and back is 45 min-1 hr each way (2k). We focus on spending time at the hardened lava flow itself .
Afterwards you will explore the Reykjanes Peninsula in south-west Iceland. This is a volcanic area, renowned for its mountains, craters, hot springs, and lava fields. The eruption at Geldingadalir, however, is the first in the region for 800 years.
You will spend about 2 hours exploring the highlights of the Reykjanes Peninsula: Seltún, Lake Kleifarvatn, Gunnuhver geyser, Brimketill Lava Pool, Grindavik Fishing Village, Reykjanes, Krysuvík, and the Bridge between the continents.
The Bridge between the continents is a spot where guests can walk from the Eurasian tectonic plate to the North American one, all the while learning about the rift valley that intersects Iceland. Brimketill is a dramatic lava coastal rock pool on the Reykjanes Peninsula, renowned for its photogenic sunset shots and folklore. Krysuvik and Seltùn is like stepping into another dimension. At Seltún you will see both solfataras and fumaroles which are bubbling mud pools and steaming hot springs.
The mud pools all around you are simmering and boiling, hissing through vents in the mud.
The colours in this area range from different nuances of red, grey, brown, silver, blue, and yellow to white – all in one area!
Gunnhuver Geyser is 65 feet across and is constantly spewing dense cloudy steam which is unique in Iceland as it is entirely seawater due to the proximity to the sea. Lake Kleifarvatn is an interesting lake that is entirely fed from a source underground. After a 2000 earthquake the level has dropped by 20%.
Lunch is included at a restaurant and the tour is about 8 hours. Return transfer to overnight in Reykjavik.
Please note this tour is a full day tour to and from Reykjavik .
Price per person: From £245. Please note for many of the trips you will also need to add an extra night in Reykjavik and associated extended car-hire (if using carhire) which would also be extra.
The flight to Greenland is breathtaking, taking you over the seemingly never ending Ice-Cap. You will be mesmerized as you spot the bright blue melt-water contrasting with the blinding white of the Ice-Cap and Glaciers.
On arrival a transfer will take you to Hotel Arctic, the most northerly 4 star hotel in the world!
This afternoon you will be taken on a guided Ilulissat City orientation walk to visit the old part of town and learn its history. You will see the original Danish trading station, the busy fishing harbour and the old church.
Tonight, after a welcome dinner, take a magical night cruise to see the Icebergs. During the Evening Iceberg Cruise the sunset warm red colours and the gigantic icebergs reflecting in the icy waters is an unforgettable sight. Cruise between the icebergs and enjoy a late Martini on “the real rocks”!
Until about the 24th July this cruise will run as a midnight sun cruise with all the beauty and eeriness of the Polar Sun. Overnight in Ilulissat.
The Eqip glacier is the only glacier in the area where you often experience a glacier calving. We cruise in front of the 5km wide glacier for approximately one hour and hope for the unique sight of an iceberg “delivery”.
However, the boat trip there is also beautiful as you pass immense icebergs, Oqaatsut, (a settlement of about 50 inhabitants), before going through the beautiful Ataa Strait with cliffs to the west and bird colonies to the east where you will likely see colonies of Fulmars and Arctic Skuas.
Afterwards you will continue to the tiny hunting settlement of Rodebay for lunch. There will be time for a short wander around so you can get a feel for the isolation the Innuits are living in before returning to Ilulissat. Dinner and overnight in Ilulissat.
Today take an easy guided hike along a broad-walk to see the UNESCO protected Sermermiut Icebergs in the Ilulissat Ice Fjord. This is an extraordinarily beautiful place and if you take the time to sit you will be able to hear the icebergs creaking and grinding as they slowly move along.
Afterwards you will meet some Innuit people in their home, and whilst enjoying a “Coffee-Mik“, learn about Greenland and its people and their way of life.
There are more huskies in town than people, numbering about 3,500 husky dogs and today we invite you to join the feeding of a dog team, where you can see, feel, touch and hear the howling of 20 hungry dogs. The owner will also demonstrate the sledge and the harness used in the winter to get them around, and tell you about life as a sled dog.
Paddle in a kayak and witness the overwhelming beauty of icebergs coming from the Ilulissat Icefjord.
The tour will adapt to people’s capabilities but you need to be between 1.5m and 2m in height, fit in the kayak and be able to paddle , with no serious back or shoulder problems. Dry Suits are provided and including transfers this should last about 3 hours.
Price Per Person: From £195
We cruise by boat into the Disko Bay to spot whales. In the summer time humpback whales come to the Disko Bay to feed on capelin, a small herring-like fish. As the humpback whales are a protected species, they are very trusting and can often be enjoyed at close range. Please be aware that we are not visiting a zoo, and therefore we cannot guarantee that the whales will ‘visit’ our boat! This lasts 6 hrs as you will also stop at Ilimanaq to see the small settlement. Pack lunch is included. The whole trip is @ 5-6 hrs.
Price Per Person: From £225
From Ilulissat A you will fly along the coastline passing the small hunters settlement of Rodebay with its 45 inhabitants and continue to the narrow canal of Pakitsoq B. You will follow the southern shore to the inner part of the fjord system c from where we will approach the inland Ice Cap D. You will pass over the Northern Glacier and into the Ilulissat Ice Fjord to the ice filled Kangia ice fjord E following it out to Disko Bay. Your flight ends over Disko Bay where you will circle over huge stranded icebergs before returning to Ilulissat.
This flight will be in a 5 or 8 seater helicopter with roughly 45 mins flying time.
Price per person: From £525 per person
Fly to Reykjavik and on arrival your guide will be waiting to transfer you to your Wilderness Cabin in South Iceland. You will have pre-chosen your menu for your stay here so all ingredients are waiting for you, but tonight your guide will cook for you so you have a night off! We would particularly recommend his BBQ lamb but he can cater for vegetarians too! Afterwards he will leave you to enjoy the tranquility and beauty of the views from the Cabin.
Our personal experience staying at the Saeli Icelandic Cabin (Stayed in the winter)
Help yourself to breakfast and then your next adventure awaits you on a guided 4WD to some of the highlights of the Golden Circle Tour.
You will experience the famed Strokur Geyser which erupts every 5 mins, the magnificent Gullfoss Waterfall as well as the beautiful area of Pjorsardalur behind Mount Hekla. This area is full of waterfalls, including Háifoss, Iceland’s tallest and is a quiet and beautiful place.
The maximum number of people will be 8, (though it is often 4), which is in sharp contrast to the bus companies who offer a similar trip. The guide will also time it so as to beat the bus trips so you can enjoy the sights in all their beauty and “at one” with nature.
Tonight you will cook for yourself with the ingredients already awaiting your return.
Afterwards why not relax outside with a drink in your private hot tub and enjoy the silence of the midnight sun in the evening – it’s a bizarre feeling!
For those of you would prefer not to cook there is the option to upgrade to a 3 course set menu at the famed Hotel Ranga. Hotel Ranga’s restaurant has an excellent reputation as one of the top gourmet restaurants in Iceland and many locals come down from Reykjavik just for dinner.
Upgrade Price per person: From £40
Help yourself to breakfast before your Superjeep off-road adventure – for many the highlight of their time in Iceland and we get some superb feedback.
We have had excellent feedback on how much clients enjoy this personalised and relaxed guided day. You will be in a Superjeep of up to 8 people, though normally it is 4 and is in sharp contrast to the coach tours offered by other companies, which also cannot venture to many of the places that you will be taken to. This is serious off roading!

A purebreed descendant of its Viking ancestors from the 9th century, the Icelandic horse is a product of isolation and a thousand years of breeding for good riding qualities, resulting in a gentle, friendly disposition and calm manner that make them a delight for anyone to ride. Whilst small in size they are hardy animals that have an unusual gait called a tolt. As fast as a trot but it is much smoother- indeed there are competitions where people hold full glasses of unspilt beer as they ride the tolt!
You have a choice of a 1hr or 2 hr ride by Irafoss Waterfall, or a 3hr ride which takes you up steep tracks towards the Eyjafjallajökull Volcano. Here you will be able to enjoy a spectacular panoramic view of the glacier behind you and in front of you the Atlantic Ocean in all its glory.
Finally there is the option to take a 2 hour ride through farmland , followed by a choice of a Jacuzzi or Sauna and a light lunch.

While the south is certainly spectacular from “below” nothing beats experiencing it from “above”! Snowmobiling on top of Eyjafjallajökull glacier is an extraordinary experience. This snowmobile tour is the perfect length of time for first-time riders and individuals looking for a scenic, fun ride, exploring and experiencing the wilderness, the glacier and the breathtaking views over South Iceland in good weather.

This cosy log cabin is well located with wonderful mountain views to the north, and the famed Eyjafjallajökull Volcano that erupted in 2010, and is in a great place to see the Northern Lights.
It is perfect for a family or two couples with a separate living/eating area and two main bedrooms and an attic bedroom which kids will love. There are two separate bathrooms, one with a shower and one with a bath.
This has been refurbished very recently and is a wonderful place to relax and look out for the Northern Lights, after the excitement of the day adventure SuperJeep tours. A brand new hot tub has just been added outside which comfortably fits 6 people. What a wonderful place to be if the Northern Lights are out!
There is Wi-Fi and mobile signal, TV with very limited channels (probably in Icelandic). The beds are set up as a double in one room, a double with a combined single bunk bed above and then the attic has a mattress on the floor. We would therefore suggest it is perfect for 4 adults and 2 children.
