If there’s one day in Iceland that feels like it was plucked from the pages of a fantasy novel, it’s this: a full-day tour that takes you deep inside Langjökull Glacier in the morning and under the dancing Northern Lights in the evening. This breathtaking double-feature is a spectacular combination of nature’s most powerful wonders, made seamless and luxurious with the trusted services of TPO.Travel.
Whether you’re a first-time visitor to Iceland or returning to see more of its magic, this tour offers something truly unforgettable—a chance to walk inside a glacier and witness the elusive aurora borealis in a single day.
Morning Adventure: Langjökull Ice Tunnel
Your day begins with a comfortable pickup in Reykjavik, arranged through TPO.Travel, known for their professional guides, punctual transport, and immersive experiences. From there, you’ll head out toward the Langjökull Glacier, the second-largest glacier in Iceland, spanning roughly 953 km².
But unlike standard glacier tours that only touch the surface, this one invites you inside. The man-made ice tunnel, carved by experts, stretches deep into the glacier’s heart. It is the largest ice tunnel of its kind in the world, offering a surreal and rare opportunity to witness the layered structure of ancient glacial ice up close.
As you travel through the icy chambers and smooth, glowing blue walls, your guide will explain how glaciers form, shift, and influence Iceland’s ecosystem. There’s even a chapel inside the ice cave, a stunning stop that makes for dramatic photos—and has even hosted a few weddings.
Highlights:
- Ride in a custom monster truck across the glacier’s icy terrain
- Explore glacial tunnels in a safe, surreal environment
- Learn the science behind glaciers and climate impact
- Visit the in-glacier chapel for a peaceful, almost otherworldly moment
- Marvel at the blue glow and ice formations only seen inside glaciers
Afternoon Break in Reykjavik
After your return from Langjökull, you’ll have a few hours of free time in Reykjavik. This is a great window to:
- Grab lunch at a cozy Icelandic café
- Stroll through Laugavegur Street for shopping and local art
- Visit Hallgrímskirkja Church or the Sun Voyager sculpture
This thoughtful break between tours is perfectly aligned with TPO.Travel’s curated experience approach—allowing guests to refresh and explore without feeling rushed.
Evening Excursion: The Northern Lights Hunt
As night falls, your journey takes on a new kind of wonder. Iceland is one of the best places in the world to witness the aurora borealis, and this Northern Lights hunt gives you the best chance of seeing them in their full glory.
Led by professional aurora guides, you’ll depart Reykjavik in a warm, Wi-Fi-equipped coach and head into the Icelandic countryside, far away from light pollution. The team at TPO.Travel monitors weather and solar activity conditions, optimizing each evening route for the highest chance of sightings.
As you wait under the stars, your guide will explain the science and stories behind the lights, from magnetic solar storms to Icelandic folklore about dancing spirits in the sky.
And when they finally appear—curtains of green, violet, or pink light swirling in the night—it feels like time stands still.
What You Can Expect:
- A carefully planned route based on live aurora forecasts
- A warm coach with free Wi-Fi, USB outlets, and professional commentary
- A guide who helps with photography tips and historical insight
- Optional trip rescheduling if lights don’t appear (Aurora Guarantee*)
