The Iceland Soccer Experience

Football is the most popular sport in Iceland. An Icelandic national team has qualified for the final competition of a major tournament only four times, twice by the women's national team at UEFA Women's Euro in 2009 and 2013, and twice by the men's team at UEFA Euro 2016 and the 2018 FIFA World Cup. Iceland's most famous footballer is Eiður Guðjohnsen, whom has won two Premier League titles for Chelsea F.C. as well as the La Liga, Copa del rey and the Champions League title for FC Barcelona.

Then make your way to the Great Geysir, watch the Hvítá river disappear into the earth at the Gullfoss waterfall, and watch the Strokkur erupt.
Details: Thingvellir National Park visit
Visit Thingvellir National Park, the most significant historical site in Iceland since the Alpingi was established there, the original site of the Icelandic Parliament, founded in AD 930, and situated along the mid-Atlantic ridge. The long deep cracks, running from the north-east to the south west, give the landscape the appearance of a crevassed glacier. The peaks of the national park are covered by snow amongst the country's largest lake, Lake Thingvallavatn. Here you can enjoy a range of spectacular walks with beautiful scenery.
Details: Great Geysir Strokkur
Nearby, the "Great Geysir" Strokkur spouts and sprays water 30-35 meters in the air every 3-8 minutes. Photographers will have to be quick, or they'll miss the eruptions, which last only a couple seconds. Around the site are lots of colorful hot springs, steaming vents, warm streams, and psychedelic algae and mineral deposits.
Details: Gullfoss waterfall
If Iceland had a star attraction, then Gullfoss is certainly it. This waterfall is not necessarily the largest in Iceland, but is by far the most impressive. Here, the river Hvita drops a total of 32 meters in two falls. The canyon above them is 70 meters deep and 2.5 km long. When the sun is shining, you are likely to see a rainbow through the ample spray that forms.

Details: Evening excursion to view Northern Lights (September - April)
The Northern Lights tour in Iceland takes you to see a spectacular natural phenomenon which happens during the winter months. The Northern Lights, also known as Aurora Borealis, are caused by the interaction of particles from the sun with the upper atmosphere near the North Pole. Northern Lights in Iceland are visible during the winter months, from September to April. The locations visited during the Northern Lights tour vary from day to day depending on weather conditions. Because this tour is weather dependent, sightings are not guaranteed.
