Iceland in Luxury: Private Glaciers, Lagoons & Fine Dining

Today you transfer privately to colourful Reykjavik and explore the world's northernmost capital in style. With your guide you climb the tower of the landmark Hallgrimskirkja church for a sweeping panorama, admire the shimmering Harpa concert hall, stroll the old harbour and the streets of galleries, chocolatiers and design boutiques, and enjoy private access to the best of the city's art, music and culture. This afternoon you unwind at the clifftop Sky Lagoon, its infinity edge melting into the sea, savouring its seven-step spa ritual in serene comfort. As the day ends, you settle into Reykjavik's finest design hotel. This evening, dine at one of the capital's celebrated restaurants on a tasting menu of Iceland's superb produce paired with fine wines, and in the darker months enjoy a private Northern Lights hunt. Rest well in the height of comfort.

Today you experience Iceland from land and air in the finest style. With your private guide you complete the classic Golden Circle, standing in the rift valley of Thingvellir, watching Strokkur geyser erupt and gazing at the mighty Gullfoss, every stop timed to avoid the crowds. The highlight is a private helicopter flight over the highlands, sweeping across steaming geothermal fields, lava and shimmering ice caps to land in pristine wilderness beside a steaming crater or on a glacier, champagne in hand. You then continue to the South Coast, settling into a luxurious retreat near the black-sand coast at Vik. This evening, dine on Iceland's finest produce, and in season enjoy a private aurora hunt over the black-sand coast or the glow of the midnight sun. Rest well amid the drama of the south.

Today you explore the dramatic South Coast privately, at your own serene pace. Your guide leads you behind the shimmering curtain of Seljalandsfoss and to the spray and thunder of Skogafoss, and along the black volcanic sands of Reynisfjara, with its basalt columns and sea stacks (staying safely back from the waves), timing every stop for the best light and fewest people. You then enjoy a private glacier experience, a guided walk roped up on the blue ice of a glacier tongue, or in winter a private blue ice cave glowing sapphire deep within the glacier, an exclusive and exhilarating adventure. As the day ends, you return to your luxurious retreat near Vik. This evening, savour a tasting-menu dinner of Icelandic lamb and seafood, with another chance for the aurora in season. Rest well amid the wild beauty of the coast.

Today you journey privately to one of the most beautiful places in Iceland. With your guide you travel beneath the vast Vatnajokull ice cap, Europe's largest glacier, past the Skaftafell reserve, to reach the sublime Jokulsarlon glacier lagoon. Here you cruise privately among luminous blue-and-white icebergs drifting across the still water, often with seals nearby, and walk the glittering Diamond Beach, where crystal ice strews the black sand, timed for the softest light and quietest moments. The otherworldly colours and stillness are magical. As the day ends, you continue to a luxurious retreat near the harbour town of Hofn, famous for its langoustine. This evening, savour an exquisite langoustine dinner beneath the glaciers, and watch the skies for the aurora in season. Rest well in the beautiful far southeast of Iceland, wrapped in comfort.

Today you enjoy a flexible, indulgent day in the spectacular glacier country of the southeast. You might take a second private helicopter flight, landing high on the vast Vatnajokull ice cap amid its shimmering icefalls, explore more of the Jokulsarlon lagoon and Diamond Beach in changing light, enjoy a private super-jeep foray into the glacier wilderness, or simply relax at your luxurious retreat, soaking in a quiet geothermal pool with the glaciers on the horizon and indulging in spa treatments. This flexible day lets you savour Iceland's wild beauty in supreme comfort. As the day ends, you reflect on your extraordinary journey. This evening, enjoy a final celebratory tasting-menu dinner beneath the glaciers, with a last aurora hunt in season or a stroll in the midnight sun. Rest well, ready for your journey home tomorrow.

After a final leisurely Icelandic breakfast beneath the glaciers, you are transferred west along the beautiful South Coast towards Keflavik International Airport for your onward departure, savouring the waterfalls, black beaches and volcanoes one last time, with a final lounge or spa moment arranged before you fly. You leave having experienced Iceland at its most sublime and indulgent, the exclusive Retreat at the Blue Lagoon and the Sky Lagoon, private helicopter flights over the glaciers, the Golden Circle and dramatic South Coast in effortless comfort, a private glacier experience, and the sublime Jokulsarlon glacier lagoon, all wrapped in the finest hotels, celebrated dining and seamless service. The memories stay vivid long after you land, the champagne on the glacier, the drifting icebergs and the steaming lagoons. Iceland experienced in this style is unforgettable, and you depart already dreaming of a return to the land of fire and ice.
