Available year-round, the package includes two nights in a glass lodge that provides exceptional views of the Northern Lights in winter or the midnight sun in summer, along with expansive views of Iceland’s raw landscape. Each lodge accommodates two guests and features a king bed, a fully equipped kitchen, a private bathroom, and locally sourced sustainable toiletries. Heating is provided by renewable electricity.
Day One
On arrival in Iceland, a private guide collects guests for a curated Golden Circle tour. Highlights include Gullfoss, the powerful two-tier waterfall, and Strokkur, the frequently erupting geyser. After the sightseeing tour, guests head to a nearby restaurant for dinner before being taken to the glass lodge for the first overnight.

Begin the day with breakfast in your lodge before departing with your guide to explore Iceland’s dramatic south coast. The day includes a guided ice cave excursion—an unforgettable opportunity to experience glacial formations up close. Return to the lodge to relax before an off-site dinner reservation.
Day Three
After checking out, travel inland for a guided visit to the Þórsmörk area, followed by an adventurous snowmobiling excursion on the Eyjafjallajökull glacier. In the evening, arrive in Reykjavík to enjoy the city’s dining scene and overnight in a local hotel.
