Anyone looking to really explore Iceland in addition to hunting the Northern Lights will enjoy the brand new ‘Winter Wonderland’ tour launched by Taber Holidays. This dual-purpose itinerary offers a real overview of what Iceland has to offer and makes the most of both day and night.

Packed full of exciting adventures, this four-night escorted break starts and ends in the capital Reykjavik.  Highlights include visits to the Geysir hot spring area, the Jökulsárlon Glacial Lagoon and the magnificent Gulfoss Waterfall. Guests will also stop at the infamous Eyjafjallajökull, which spectacularly erupted in 2010.  The Visitor Centre at the foot of the volcano tells the story of the eruption and the challenges faced by those living nearby. For a spot of relaxation at the end of the tour, guests have the option of a bathe in the renowned Blue Lagoon with its mineral rich water and fine silica mud.

To maximise opportunities to see the mighty aurora, two nights are spent in a country hotel near Vik in southern Iceland, far away from the artificial light pollution found in the big towns and cities. While staying at the Hotel Katla, guests can enjoy an informative evening lecture and Northern Lights hunt, weather permitting. The other night can be spent unwinding in one of the hotel’s outdoor geothermal hot tubs. What better place to sit and watch for the Northern Lights?

Prices for this four-night break start from £998pp and include flights from London Heathrow, Gatwick, Manchester or Glasgow, transfers, accommodation with breakfast, visit to an Icelandic farm, entrance to the Eyjafjallajökull Visitor Centre and a Northern Lights hunt. Based on two sharing. Departs selected dates from 3 October to 6 March 2014.
