Your adventure begins in the heart of Reykjavík, where the crisp morning air fills your lungs as you board a sleek vessel at the Old Harbour. The anticipation builds as you set sail into the expansive Faxaflói Bay, a winter wonderland where the sea meets the sky in a breathtaking dance of colors. As the boat cuts through the icy waters, your eyes scan the horizon for the majestic creatures that call these depths home.

The ethereal dance of green and purple lights across the sky is a spectacle that captivates the soul, a celestial performance that transforms the night into a canvas of wonder. This enchanting journey, from the vibrant marine life to the celestial wonders above, is an unforgettable chapter in your Icelandic adventure.
