Leaving Husafell we head south, well fed from a wonderful breakfast and prepared for a day full of excellent stops. First we visit the inside of a lava cave and learn about the volcanic process which led to its formation. From there we move to the world-class Settlement Center, in Borganes. The Center is a space devoted to recreating Iceland’s earliest days and introducing visitors to one of the best known heroes of the Icelandic Sagas, Egil Skalla-Grimsson. From old to new, we continue moving south and visit the brand-new Selfoss Downtown, a collection of 35 historic buildings, previously damaged by fire or fallen into disrepair, reconstructed to form a unique cultural center. After that we reach our destination for the day, Hotel Ranga. Holding the distinction of being one of Iceland’s most unique hotels, it will provide us with a gourmet meal and a great night of sleep. Hotel Ranga offers a great location – away from city lights – for Northern Lights viewing.

Every corner of Iceland gains a new shade of beauty in the wintertime, but this transformation is particularly accentuated in the south of the country, where you will be on Day 7. Landmarks you find there become particularly magical and mysterious, one could say, in the fall and winter. You will see several of those landmarks: Selfoss, Skogafoss and Seljalandsfoss waterfalls, the town of Vik and Reynisfjara black-sand beach are just a few of them. After an incredibly scenic day, we will be back at Hotel Ranga for another great night of comfort and, weather permitting, another chance of seeing the Aurora Borealis.

Enjoy breakfast at the hotel before departing. We can’t wait to create your next vacation package, be it another group tour of Iceland or an adventure anywhere else in Scandinavia!
