New for 2013: Northern Lights in Iceland

Another new trip for us next year, but this time to a familiar destination, just at a different time of year.

2013 is expected to be a peak in the cycle of solar activity which produces the spectacular display of lights, the Aurora Borealis or Northern Lights. We will be hoping for clear dark nights, to give us the best views of the stunning visual display. And during the daylight hours there's plenty to see too, with visits to the famous Geysir, impressive waterfalls and volcanic features, Iceland specialities such as Harlequin, Barrow's Goldeneye and Gyrfalcon all likely to be seen, together with a very good chance of Orca and/or Humpback Whales hunting herring close in to shore.

With our first Northern Lights trip already fully booked, we are now taking bookings for a second departure, on 8th to 13th April 2013. The trip is limited to just 8 people, so please get in touch soon if you'd like to be one of those 8!
