The South Coast tour reaches Skogar Folk Museum and the 200-foot Skógafoss waterfall. The Reykjanes Peninsula day visits the Viking Ship Museum and ends at the Blue Lagoon. September is prime Northern Lights season. Home pick-up and airfare included.

September is one of the best times to see the Northern Lights in Iceland. Sightings depend on solar activity and clear skies. We recommend booking a local Northern Lights tour during the leisure day to maximize your chances. The Blue Lagoon is worth visiting regardless: geothermally heated water at 102°F in a black lava field is unlike anywhere else.
