What to expect

Revitalise your body and soul by bathing in the geothermal baths at Laugarvatn Fontana after a drive through the beautiful UNESCO site Þingvellir National Park.

Fontana has three steam rooms built over a natural hot spring and a traditional sauna along with four different hot pools. The more adventurous travellers, can take a dip in lake Laugarvatn (when accessible) to cool down between the steam baths and sauna.

The steam temperatures range between 40°C and 50°C, depending on the temperature of the hot springs and the weather on the day. The steam rooms create a unique experience since you can smell the natural hot water boiling underneath the grids on the floor. The traditional sauna has lower humidity than the steam rooms, but the temperature is higher and reaches 80°C to 90°C.

The three connected outdoor mineral baths vary in depth, size and temperature. It is the perfect setting to relax and socialise. From the baths, you can see a panoramic view of the countryside around Fontana and the Northern Lights dancing in the sky if you are lucky and they show up early.

On the way back to Reykjavík, you will go on a hunt of the Northern Lights, one of Iceland's most unforgettable sights. A team of experts studies the lights and cloud forecasts to find the best spot for a sighting on the day of the tour. But as the Northern Lights are a natural phenomenon, sightings can not be guaranteed.

TUI Southern Iceland Tour

If you want to escape the city and see a bit more of Iceland, this trip is ideal. It introduces you to the country's south coast, where thundering waterfalls, snow-topped volcanoes and a stark coastline lie ready and waiting.You'll make a couple of stops at the area's biggest waterfalls, Seljalandsfoss and Skogafoss, where you'll have enough time to take some photos. Eyjafjallajökull is part of the line-up, too.The volcano that erupted back in 2010 is a picture of serenity these days, sleeping soundly beneath a huge sheet of ice and snow. The real highlight of the day, though, is Vik. This huge beach is covered in black pebbles, and boasts weird and wonderful basalt rock formations.
