Day 1: Arrival at Reykjavik – Northern Lights Cruise

Welcome to the capital of Iceland! Arrival and airport transfer to your Reykjavik hotel with assistance from the Target Tours India team. In the evening, board a Northern Lights cruise — hunting the auroras from a boat gives you heated indoor areas, an onboard café and a 360° viewing platform. Expert aurora guides help you make the most of the night. Overnight in Reykjavik.

Day 2: South Iceland Adventure

Breakfast. Full-day South Coast tour taking in the gorgeous Seljalandsfoss (which you can walk behind — a raincoat is recommended) and Skógafoss waterfalls, then Reynisfjara black-sand beach with its Reynisdrangar rock formations and columnar basalt. Stop by Sólheimajökull glacier and walk up to the small lake in front of the retreating glacier tongue. Overnight in Reykjavik.

Day 3: Golden Circle & Northern Lights

Breakfast. Classic Golden Circle tour — a chance to see waterfalls, geysers, historic sites and a natural hot spring in one day. Explore Thingvellir National Park, Gullfoss waterfall and the Geysir hot spring area, where Strokkur, the most active geyser in Iceland, erupts every few minutes. In the evening, join a Northern Lights tour by minibus, following the best aurora and cloud forecast to maximise your chance of seeing the lights. Overnight in Reykjavik.

Day 4: Ice Cave Experience

Breakfast. Full-day tour to a unique man-made ice cave in Langjökull, one of Iceland’s largest and most spectacular glaciers. Drive to the Húsafell area with stops at Deildartunguhver hot spring and the beautiful Hraunfossar lava waterfalls. Ascend Langjökull partly in a specially modified glacier vehicle, then enter the cave and walk deep within the glacier to see the stunning blue-hued ice. Overnight in Reykjavik.
