🗓 Typical New Year Private Tour Experience

Here’s how your New Year adventure could look:

 Arrival & Exploration
Touch down in Reykjavík and start your journey with an easy pickup and private transfer into town. Explore the city’s charming streets, boutique cafés, and Nordic design shops before the festive nights begin.

Golden Circle and Ice Landscapes
No winter tour is complete without the classic Golden Circle route — Thingvellir National Park, Geysir geothermal area, and the mighty Gullfoss waterfall. With a private tour you can also venture to less-visited gems off the beaten path.

Northern Lights Chase
Winter nights in Iceland are ideal for aurora hunting. A private tour lets your guide tailor the route based on weather and forecast, maximizing your chances of witnessing the ethereal lights.

New Year’s Eve in Reykjavik
When midnight approaches, Reykjavík lights up with fireworks, vibrant street celebrations and sometimes traditional bonfires — part of Iceland’s festive charm. Having your private tour means you can choose how you want to celebrate — from cozy dinners and local pubs to scenic lookout spots away from the crowds.
