Iceland Winter Adventures

Once settled in, begin your luxury Iceland winter tour by heading to Thingvellir National Park. There, embark on an exclusive snorkeling/diving excursion in the Silfra fissure, a rift formed between the tectonic plates of North America and Eurasia. With your expert guide, witness a mesmerizing underwater world with visibility up to 120 meters. Then, continue to the other unmissable natural highlights of any luxury Iceland tour along the Golden Circle, including the Geysir Hot Spring and Gullfoss waterfall.

The next day, head to the Sólheimajökull Glacier, where you will embark on a private trek across the glacier itself, accompanied by your specialized guide. During this unforgettable trek across the other-worldly surface of the glacier, marvel at the incredible glacial landscape and learn more about how the glacier was formed and shaped into what it is today. Continue by private transfer to the nearby Skálakot Hotel, where you will stop to enjoy lunch. Return to your villa in the afternoon by private transfer afterward to relax and unwind.

The following day, depart by private transfer to the Eyjafjallajökull volcano, where you will enjoy a breathtaking snowmobile ride across the volcano’s glacier. Accompanied by your specialized guide, speed across Iceland’s sixth largest ice cap and take in the spectacular views of the surrounding mountains and valleys. Afterward, continue with your expert guide by private transfer to visit the Skogafoss and Seljalandsfoss waterfalls. Climb nearly 500 steps to reach the top of the mighty Skogafoss waterfall, affording expansive views of the south coast. Later, you’ll encounter the Seljalandsfoss waterfall, one of the most iconic landmarks in all of Iceland.

During your stay at Deplar Farm, you will have the chance to enjoy a variety of experiences throughout the Troll Peninsula accompanied by your personal expert guide. This region of northern Iceland is geologically fascinating thanks to the glaciers that carved its landscape. It is home to the most extensive continuous mountain range in the country, including the three highest peaks in North Iceland. You can cross this winter wonderland on a Nordic skiing excursion or speed away dog sledding with your team of Huskies across the pristine snow-covered landscape. Alternatively, venture out along beautiful hiking trails through the snow to absorb the stunning mountain peaks. Following each day’s activities, you will have time to unwind and explore the property’s “Viking sauna” or relax with an optional massage in one of the property’s modern treatment rooms. After the sunsets, we recommend taking a dip in Deplar Farm’s geothermal indoor/outdoor pool. You may even get lucky with a stunning glimpse of the Northern Lights. In the evenings, savor the delicious gourmet dinners served around the property’s communal dining table.

On the final day of your Iceland winter tour, enjoy your morning at leisure to relax and unwind at the property’s spa and the Blue Lagoon. For more privacy, head for the Retreat Lagoon, a secluded extension of the Blue Lagoon that reaches deep under an 800-year-old lava flow. The Blue Lagoon is one of Iceland’s most iconic attractions. This geothermal spa, located in a lava field, is filled with mineral-rich water, plentiful in silica, algae, and mineral salt. Taking a dip in the geothermal baths stimulates circulation while strengthening and moisturizing the skin. In the afternoon, greeting by your personal host and private transfer to the Keflavík airport in time for your international departure flight.
