10-Day Iceland Northern Lights & Snowshoe Journey (Feb 2027)

Provided by Wagnisreisen

The group meets at Keflavík Airport on 13 February 2027, then travels via Reykjavík on a domestic flight to Akureyri in northern Iceland. Over ten winter days, the itinerary allows time among snow-covered valleys, geothermal landscapes and fishing villages, heading out after dark when conditions offer a chance to see the northern lights. Sightings depend on the weather and cannot be guaranteed. Around Akureyri, the programme covers the Mývatn volcanic area and Dimmuborgir lava formations, with short snowshoe walks with safety equipment. From there the journey continues along the Tröllaskagi peninsula to Siglufjörður, where the group visits the herring museum and spends time in the wintry fjords. The next stage leads to Skagafjörður, historic turf buildings, hot springs and a local Icelandic horse farm. The group returns south via Reykjavík and Reykjanes for the flight home on 22 February. The advertised 10-day departure runs from 13 to 22 February 2027 at €5,950 per person and is listed as free to book. A second departure runs from 24 February to 5 March 2027 at the same price. Groups have six to eight participants. The itinerary includes a guided winter programme, snowshoe walks, cultural visits and stays in several locations. The complete list of included services and any supplements should be confirmed with Wagnisreisen before booking. Winter conditions can include icy paths and cold winds, and may require changes to the itinerary. Recommended equipment includes warm waterproof layers, suitable boots, gloves and a swimsuit for hot springs. The organiser adapts the programme to the weather and, where possible, to opportunities for aurora viewing.
