Iceland Circle & Northern Lights: 8 Days 7 Nights Around the Ring Road

All of Iceland in one week, with the night sky thrown in. This is a fully escorted Ring Road journey: an English-speaking guide drives you right round the island, from Reykjavík up to Akureyri and Lake Mývatn, across the East Fjords, past the Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon and back along the South Coast. You sleep somewhere new almost every night, mostly in country hotels away from city lights — exactly what you want for aurora hunting. It suits couples, friends and families with children of 8 and above who want to see the whole country without driving on winter roads themselves.

The north and Mývatn are the part most short trips miss. Goðafoss is a wide horseshoe of a waterfall, and around Lake Mývatn you walk among the black lava towers of Dimmuborgir and the steaming vents of Námaskarð before an evening soak at the Mývatn Nature Baths — quieter than the Blue Lagoon and included in your price.

The south-east is the showpiece. At Jökulsárlón, icebergs calved from Vatnajökull drift across the lagoon and wash up on the black sand. Then the South Coast lines up its classics: Reynisfjara, Skógafoss and Seljalandsfoss, where a path runs behind the falling water. Don’t miss the Icelandic Lava Show in Vík country — real molten lava, poured and flowing just a few metres from your seat.

Why go now? The Northern Lights season runs from September to mid-April, and this circle includes five evenings of Northern Lights programme — more chances than any shorter trip. Departures are fixed and limited to 30 travellers, so the November and early-spring dates fill first. Iceland is a Schengen country; our team handles your Schengen visa too. For the best months, read when to see the Northern Lights.

Good to know: this is a group coach tour with a maximum of 30 travellers. For a custom private package — your own dates, private vehicle and guide, upgraded hotels — please contact our team for a personalised quote. Breakfast is included daily plus one dinner (in Akureyri); for other meals your guide stops at restaurants and supermarkets. You arrive and leave through Keflavík airport on the Flybus shuttle, and flights are booked separately from any Indian city. Minimum age is 8. The Northern Lights depend on the sky — we can’t guarantee them, but five evenings give you a strong chance. Prices from €2,960 per person (about ₹3,25,600) on twin sharing.
