This month sees the launch of Icelandair’s direct service from Manchester. To mark the occasion we have prepared an exclusive short break package specially designed to give you a taste of Iceland’s many charms at a fantastic price.
Our 3 or 4-night self-drive itinerary gives you the opportunity to explore Iceland’s scenic south shore at your own pace, without the need to change hotel each day. From a single base in the heart of Iceland’s southern countryside, you’ll be perfectly situated to explore the many natural wonders and places of interest that lie within easy access.
Visit the geysers and hot springs at Geysir and witness the power and beauty of three of the country’s most individual waterfalls, Gullfoss, Seljalandsfoss and Skogafoss. Explore the rugged coastline and sweeping glaciers or head east and discover some fascinating culture. Benefiting from the long hours of daylight that characterise the northern summer, your introduction to Iceland can be as full as you care to make it.
