Iceland's Golden Circle in Depth

Iceland's Golden Circle in Depth
Experience the midnight sun on this five-day summer adventure of Iceland’s southern coast. Visit all the highlights of the country’s iconic Golden Circle – soaking in the steamy geothermal waters of the Secret Lagoon and marvelling at the eruptions of the Strokkur Geysir, before strapping on the crampons and hiking across the Solheimajokull Glacier, feeling the mist of waterfalls on your face. If you're lucky, you might even see a whisp of the Northern Lights!
