Evening - Ocean's Gourmet / Viking FeastIn the evening we will enjoy some of the ocean gourmet. Around Iceland we have the Gulf stream meeting with the cold north atlantic deep water current mixing over the mid-Atlantic ridge and it's underwater hot rivers. Creating perfect feeding ground for sea life. A great way to enjoy the products of this nutrient rich ocean-mixture is dining at the elegant restaurant Hotel Borg, in the heart of Reykjavík. More lively would be enjoying a Viking feast, the traditional way, where whole grilled Icelandic wild lambs are served by real Vikings and Valkyrie.

Second day |

Morning - The Golden CircleThis popular excursion offers some of the best-known natural wonders of Iceland. After hotel pickup the tour starts by visiting the geothermal power plant Nesjavellir situated in the picturesque landscape of Lake Þingvallavatn. Few kilometres north we enter Þingvellir (UNESCO world heritage list). This place has a special place in the hearts of Icelanders since many historically important events have taken place there. We continue to the majestic waterfall Gullfoss and from there towards the geothermal area around the incredible spouting hot springs of Geysir and Strokkur. From there we travel through fertile agricultural areas to Hveragerði, a small and charming horticultural town, where we will see how geothermal energy has been harnessed to create unique greenhouse cultivation. In these large greenhouses various types of vegetables, exotic fruits and colourful flowers are grown. On our way back we travel through a highly mountainous region back to the capital. The whole value of this tour can be doubled by riding on a cool Icelandic Super Jeep. These Machines are a Grand Pleasure to enjoy while travelling through the country's "out of space" landscape and wild natural contrasts. Evening - Musical dance show and world class nightlifeThree course dinner will be served at Iceland's grandest nightclub, Broadway. After a grand dinner we see a musical dance show followed by full action on the dance floor deep into the night. Centre of the city is not far away for some downtown world class adventures. Alternative would be to go for three course dinner at Restaurant Perlan that is built of gigantic hot water tanks with a grand glass dome sitting on the top. The area between the tanks is used to create a tropical atmosphere with a great geyser in the middle spewing water to the top. The restaurant is placed on the top floor with a rotating floor, giving all guests a great panoramic view of Reykjavík. |
