Reykjavík & the Golden Circle in Winter

Arrive into Keflavík and transfer into Reykjavík, where the contrast between cold air and warm interiors is immediate. Begin with a visit to the Blue Lagoon, where mineral-rich waters provide a relaxed introduction to Iceland in winter, before settling into the city.

Spend the day exploring Reykjavík with a privately guided food experience, moving through the city’s neighbourhoods while gaining insight into Icelandic cuisine and culture.

In the evening, head out on a Northern Lights cruise, leaving the harbour behind in search of clear skies and the chance to witness the aurora away from city light.

Travel inland by super Jeep, moving through Thingvellir National Park and on toward Gullfoss and the geyser fields. The route allows access to more remote terrain, before continuing onto Langjökull Glacier for a snowmobiling experience across a wide, snow-covered landscape.

Continue to your countryside base, where the setting feels quieter and more remote.

Travel along the South Coast, where waterfalls freeze at the edges and black sand beaches meet winter seas. Here, explore the Katla Ice Cave with a specialist guide, stepping inside a natural formation shaped by ice and volcanic ash — one of Iceland’s most distinctive winter experiences.

Return to Torfhús Retreat, where the evening is left open — an ideal setting for Northern Lights if conditions allow.
