Iceland Northern Lights

As seen on Channel 4's 'Vacation, Vacation, Vacation' - Overview of Kirsty and Phil's Icelandic Adventure

The ever-watchable Kirsty Allsopp and Phil Spencer visited Iceland for their latest Vacation, Vacation, Vacation programme, and explored the south west of the island.

Hotel Ranga, a luxury ranch-style accommodation famed for its fantastic northern lights viewing was their hotel of choice - staying in the Presidential and Africa suites, no less!  It was great to see Ranga's owner Fridrik introducing their quirky polar bear, who stands guard at reception!  The hotel is a firm favourite amongst Discover the World clients, with incredibly friendly staff, superb service and outstanding cuisine at the restaurant.  

Stay at Hotel Ranga yourself!
Choose from a range of self-drive itineraries, with one or more nights at Hotel Ranga:

Excursions in Iceland
Our dedicated excursions website shows the variety of unique and exciting possibilities on offer. 

Iceland is indeed a thrill-seeker's playground - and with so many different excursions and experiences on offer, visitors are spoilt for choice!  Try driving a snowmobile and like Phil, you too will have the biggest smile on your face for days! Our team of destination experts can talk you through the wide variety excursions, as they have tried many of them out first-hand (it's a tough job!). Take to the skies and fly over geysirs, volcanoes and waterfalls on an Ice and Fire: Glaciers and Volcanoes sightseeing flight or ride across rugged terrain inaccessible with a normal vehicle in a Superjeep just like Kirsty, on an excursion into the beautiful wilderness.
