Ultimo Northern Lights - private tour

This trip is a unique experience for the adventurous traveller, and truly captures the freedom of traveling the remote Icelandic landscape. Accommodation in a remote mountain hut in middle of Iceland, sleeping bag accommodation far away from the civilization. Ideal way to spot the Northern.

Nothing compares to staying in an isolated hut on the snow-covered highlands, miles from the lights of Reykjavik. There is nobody else – only you, making it a personal experience to remember. On arrival in Iceland you will be driven by a private car to your 4 star luxury hotel in Reykjavik. Stay there one night before being collected from your hotel and driven through amazing scenery to your location in the remote wilderness. You will experience the freedom of driving a snowmobile in the middle of nowhere, and can soak up the majestic Icelandic countryside in this unforgettable break.

Highlights:

• Stay in 4 star luxury in Reykjavík and an isolated lodge in the Icelandic highlands
• Special Super Jeep driving in snowy ground in isolated central Iceland
• Multiple activities like snowmobiling, ice fishing, barbequing
• Shooting stars and Northern Lights

Itinerary Suggestion

Day 1 - Arrival

Transfer from Keflavik Airport to your accommodation in Reykjavík where you‘ll spend the night. We‘ll provide some ideas to help you explore Iceland's capital on your own. Optional, visit to the Blue Lagoon on the way to the City (also option on your departure date).

Day 2 and 3 - Adventure Tour Midgard

Midgard is a place where time ceases to matter. Located deep in the Highlands of Central Iceland, literally in the middle of nowhere, Midgard is only reachable by super jeep.

On our way there we have to travel the vast Sprengisandur route and make our way through the mountains, finally arriving in Midgard, a very rewarding and most exhilarating experience.

Located far from human light pollution, here you are in the best place to view the Northern Lights; the intensity of the Northern Lights, the stars (and shooting stars) and the feeling of “nothingness/vastness” is a once in a lifetime experience.

At Midgard no one ever gets bored. Our winter days are spent on playing in the snow with the “toys” you have only dreamed of – snowmobiles, super jeeps, snowkites, snowshoes, ice fishing – whilst all the time learning basic survival skills under professional guidance.

During the winter we collect water from the nearest river for our use. The hut has a toilet.

The Midgard hut is warmed up the old fashioned way using fire, bringing that special up-in-the- mountains feeling. Evenings are spent in total relaxation in front of the open fire, telling stories, playing cards and barbecuing Icelandic delicacies.

We might add in the Golden Circle (Thingvellir, Geysir and Gullfoss) on our way to/from the interior Highlands and, in good conditions, Landmannalaugar, a fascinating and colorful geothermal pearl in the wilderness, might also be visited.

The weather and conditions are always variable (simply adding to the fun and enjoyment) and always an adventure can most certainly be guaranteed.

Drop off at Reykjavík hotel at end of day 3 where you will spend your final night.

Day 4 - Departure

Take your transfer from your hotel in Reykjavik to the airport, pick up approximately 3 hours before your flight time. Depending on your flight time there may be time for sightseeing in the city or a trip to the Blue Lagoon if you have not been already. Fly back to the UK.

CHANGE OF PROGRAM: Itineraries may be subject to change at short notice during severe weather conditions and certain outdoor activities/day trips may be cancelled during the winter season in Iceland. In these rare cases, where situations of force majeure apply, excursions/activities cannot be refunded but the local guides will try their best to find reasonable alternatives where and whenever possible.
