70 ICELAND REVIEW
Let’s Dance
No wintertime visit to Iceland would be complete without stand-
ing in the dark, breathing in the fresh glacial air and experienc-
ing the stunningly beautiful natural phenomenon that the northern
lights truly are.
Founded in 1968, Reykjavík Excursions-Kynnisferðir is one of Ice-
land’s largest tour operators, offering a range of excellent tours and
services for individuals and groups. It’s arguably the easiest and
most comfortable way to seek out the northern lights.
In the standard tour, the northern lights are followed wherever
they are most likely to appear and therefore, destinations differ
from tour to tour. Being a natural phenomenon, there are no guar-
antees, and so you can re-book at no charge should the northern
lights fail to show.
In addition, Reykjavík Excursions-Kynnisferðir offers two exciting
tours guaranteed to enhance the experience of seeing the northern
lights.
GLAcier & MoNsTer Truck AdveNTure
Here, a specially modified 8x8 monster truck will bring you to Ice-
land’s second largest glacier, Langjökull, one of the most extraordi-
nary places on earth. During the journey, learn about the northern
lights, the glacier itself and its surroundings, and listen to some local
stories. On the glacier the drive continues in complete darkness, fol-
lowed by a short walk to experience the glacial landscape and light
refreshments at the glacial hut.
WArM BATHs & cooL LiGHTs
While nature prepares to color the sky with the northern lights, en-
joy relaxing in Laugarvatn Fontana’s open air geothermal baths and
then refuel with delicacies from the local-style buffet. Leaving the
spa with a nourished body and satisfied soul, Reykjavík Excursions-
Kynnisferðir will take you on a tour around the area to provide your
senses with the show of a lifetime as you watch the northern lights
dance, just for you.
