Land of Fire and Ice.

We are going back to Iceland -- this time to the Golden Circle-- to chase northern lights, and experience all of the delights of the volcanic wonderland that is Iceland. This trip includes 7 nights split between Reykjavik and Nesjavellir, offering both city exploration and rugged Icelandic adventure. 

Chase Waterfalls + the Northern Lights

February 17-24, 2024 | Reykjavik, Iceland and the Golden Circle

Stay.

The first three nights, we will stay at ION City a luxury hotel in the heart of Reykjavik.  Explore the famous rainbow road, visit Hallgrímskirkja, one of Iceland's most famous landmarks, dine, and shop in the Capital of Iceland.  
Less than an hour’s drive from the hustle and bustle of Reykjavík and set against a backdrop of majestic mountainous lava fields,  our home base at ION Adventure Hotel on Mount Hengill will be an unforgettable experience. 

Whether you are seeking a quiet, soulful soak beneath the Northern Lights, or a challenging trek across an ancient glacier – at ION Adventure Hotel, these are only a wish away. 

The Icelandic Adventure of a Lifetime

February 17-24, 2024 | Reykjavik, Iceland and the Golden Circle

Play.

What can you expect on this retreat? Adventure. Get ready to explore the Golden Circle’s main sights, culminating in a snowmobile ride on Langjökull glacier.  We will visit geysers, chase waterfalls, and seek the Aurora. There is so much adventure on this trip, we can barely stand it. And at the end of the day, you can soak in the Lava Spa at ION Adventure— and maybe even soak UNDER the northern lights.

Indulge Your Tastebuds

February 17-24, 2024 | Reykjavik, Iceland and the Golden Circle

Taste

While we will explore many restaurants in Reykjavik, the true culinary adventure begins at ION Adventure. Silfra restaurant embodies the local flavor and spirit of Iceland, offering seasonal and contemporary dishes with an emphasis on sustainable, farm-fresh ingredients from our close surroundings. Silfra is proud to serve modern nordic cuisine with purity, freshness, simplicity and ethics as a guiding light to represent everything that this part of the world has to offer above other.
The chefs at Silfra also emphasize in what is called “slow food” that can be simplified as food made from the freshest ingredients available that is originated in the neighbourhood of the hotel. The restaurant’s name derives from the Silfra rift in Lake Þingvellir. The rift is the most popular diving site in Iceland, first of all because it the crack between the American and Eurasian continent and secondly because of the magnificent visibility that isn’t anywhere else under those circumstances.

The kitchen is lead by chefs Snædís Xyza Mae Ocampo and Þráinn Freyr Vigfússon.

It’s Your Journey.
