Plenty to see
The new geothermal Sky Lagoon, which is near downtown Reykjavík, and the famous Northern Lights are undoubtedly on the bucket lists for many across the globe. With entry to many other nations still restricted, now could be a good time to check out Iceland’s wonders.
“Sky Lagoon is about that Icelandic feeling of warmth and wonder. Immerse yourself in warmth at their oceanside geothermal lagoon on the edge of the North Atlantic Ocean stretches out before you. Above, glowing sunsets and stormy skies dazzle, and, if the timing is right, the dancing Northern Lights put on a stunning show as the sun sets in late afternoon. With your included Sky Lagoon Pure Pass, you’ll enjoy admission, public changing facilities, a towel, and the Lagoon’s 7-step Ritual: Lagoon, Cold Pool, Sauna, Cold Mist, Sky Scrub, Steam Room, and Shower,” Icelandair shares in a statement.
“Also included in this not-to-miss vacation package is a Northern Lights by Boat tour! You’ll sail from Reykjavík’s Old Harbour to a prime location away from the city lights, perfect for viewing the auroras! Facts on the science behind the magical phenomenon of the Northern Lights will be shared, plus stories & myths on the Aurora Borealis from different cultures around the world. If it gets too cold for comfort, free overalls are provided to warm you up during your boat journey.”
Icelandair adds that a café & souvenir shop and wireless internet are also available on board the boat. Additionally, the package includes a 24-hour pass on the Hop On Hop Off city sightseeing bus, allowing travelers to explore Reykjavík at their leisure.
