There are so many reasons to add Iceland to your travel itinerary next year.
For one thing, it's covered in natural wonders. Due to its abundance of both volcanoes and glaciers, Iceland's nickname is the "Land of Ice and Fire." You can spend your days hiking, climbing, soaking or swimming, depending on where you go.
The country also has a rich and storied cultural history with the Vikings settling there in the ninth century.
And then there are the northern lights, or aurora borealis — the green, red and purple lights that swirl across the sky in the northern hemisphere. This atmospheric phenomenon is something you've likely only seen pictures of, but seeing it in person is something you'll never forget. Thanks to its geographical location, Iceland is one of the best places to do it.
"There's a reason travelers chase the elusive northern lights — ask anyone who's seen them, and they'll tell you it's a breathtaking experience," Stefanie Waldek writes for Travel + Leisure magazine.
The best time to see the northern lights is in the fall, winter or spring, but Waldek says that solar activity peaks around the fall and spring equinoxes. So, booking a trip in March or September increases your chances of catching a glimpse of the show.
When you book with Dick Jensen & Alan McKay Tours, you'll get a chance to see and experience many of these things and more — and you won't believe the price.
Here's what's on the itinerary
Dick Jensen & Alan McKay Tours' Iceland tour covers multiple different must-see stops over seven days.
