Iceland Blue Lagoon & Aurora Honeymoon 6N 7D

What this Iceland honeymoon trip covers

The route stays in the south and west of Iceland, with short driving legs and Reykjavík as the base for the first and last nights. The Blue Lagoon sits close to Keflavík International Airport, so the soak happens on arrival day.

The Golden Circle gives you Þingvellir National Park (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), the Geysir geothermal area and Gullfoss Waterfall. The South Coast adds Seljalandsfoss, Skógafoss, the black sand of Reynisfjara and glacier views toward Sólheimajökull and Vatnajökull. Evenings stay free for aurora watching whenever skies are clear.

How the days flow

The pace is deliberately light: one main outing a day, late breakfasts, and free afternoons in Reykjavík and on the South Coast. Nothing starts before breakfast is finished.

• Days 1 and 2 are for landing, soaking and walking Reykjavík without a schedule.
• Days 3 and 4 are the two longer outings, the Golden Circle and the South Coast.
• Day 5 is a short glacier-viewpoint morning with the rest of the day open.
• Days 6 and 7 are a slow return, a final city evening and an easy airport transfer.

Aurora attempts happen after dinner, so you are never choosing between a sightseeing stop and a night sky. If the forecast is poor, the evening simply stays free.

Moments to plan around

Four moments carry this trip, and each has a best day on the route.

• First soak at the Blue Lagoon: Day 1, straight after landing, when you have no other commitment and the water is a gentle reset after the flight.
• A clear-sky aurora night: Day 3 or Day 4, from the countryside base or the Vík area, where there is less city light than in Reykjavík.
• The signature dinner for two: Day 5, in the quiet evening that follows the glacier-viewpoint morning.
• Sunrise or sunset at Reynisfjara: Day 4, with enough time to stand back from the waterline and just look.

Why this suits couples

This route suits couples because it combines private evenings, calm settings and short drives. Both signature experiences, the Blue Lagoon and the aurora, happen in the evening and need no athletic effort.

• Privacy: countryside guesthouses on Days 3 and 4 put you away from city crowds, and aurora watching is a two-person activity in the dark.
• Setting: geothermal water, black sand and glacier views give you time in the open air instead of in a coach.
• Pace: drives are short enough that one partner is not stuck behind the wheel for hours while the other waits.

Romantic highlights

These are the six experiences the route is built around, each with one practical detail.

• Blue Lagoon soak on arrival day, with about two hours in the water and steam rooms.
• Aurora watching from the countryside base on clear nights, subject to weather and solar activity.
• Walk behind the curtain of Seljalandsfoss when conditions allow.
• Skógafoss viewing platform, a short walk from the car park.
• Reynisfjara black sand beach, visited with a firm rule to stay well back from the surf.
• One signature dinner for two on Day 5, arranged at the hotel or a nearby restaurant.

Choosing the right stay style

For couples, the stay that matters is the one with a view, a quiet corridor and easy access to the night sky. Size and star rating count for less than location.

Ask for a room away from the main road and the dining area. On the South Coast, a sea-facing room near Vík is worth requesting. In the Golden Circle area, small guesthouses near Selfoss, Laugarvatn, Flúðir or Hella tend to be darker at night than hotels on a main road, which helps for aurora viewing. In Reykjavík, a central hotel lets you walk to dinner.

Best months for a couple's trip to Iceland

September to March is the better window for the Northern Lights, while May to August suits couples who want daylight and open roads. The two windows give very different trips.

For travellers from India, September and March work well for a first Iceland trip, with dark skies and milder weather than midwinter. Highland F-roads generally open from mid-June and close in winter, so check road and weather conditions before any drive.

Add-ons worth considering

Add-ons are optional and priced separately; confirm each at booking.

• Private dinner: best on Day 5 or Day 6, when you are rested and the schedule is open.
• Photographer: fits the Blue Lagoon on Day 1 or Seljalandsfoss on Day 4, where natural light and water make for good portraits.
• Spa treatment: suits the free afternoon in Reykjavík on Day 2 or Day 6.
• Guided glacier walk: an option on Day 5 near Sólheimajökull, subject to conditions.
• Helicopter tour: listed among Reykjavík activities and worth considering for a special occasion.

Stay options in Iceland for this trip

This trip is priced on a standard 3-4 star category, with the route split between Reykjavík, a Golden Circle or South Coast countryside base, and the Vík area. Indicative tiers per person are Budget 3-star at about Rs.71,000, Standard 4-star at Rs.94,500 (the default for this package), and Premium 5-star at about Rs.1,51,000.

• Budget 3-star: simple rooms, shared or smaller common areas, and fewer upgrades.
• Standard 3-4 star: comfortable rooms, breakfast on site and a mix of city hotels and countryside guesthouses.
• Premium 5-star: larger rooms, better views and on-site dining, with a higher price per night.

Accommodation is the biggest cost swing. Peak-period rates run 30 to 50 percent above shoulder-season prices, and hotels and guesthouses add a tourist tax of ISK 800 per room per night, as reported in 2026. Note that a proposed annual access fee for non-tax-resident visitors aged 18 and over, covering Þingvellir, Gullfoss and Geysir, was reported on 28 September 2026 and is not confirmed as in force. Check the current position at booking.

Entry, money and flights for Indian travellers to Iceland

Indian passport holders need a Schengen short-stay visa for Iceland, applied for through the official Schengen application route. Check the official portal for the current fee, and read our Iceland visa for Indians guide for the document list.

The local currency is the Icelandic króna (ISK). Exchange rates change daily, so confirm the rate with your bank or forex provider before you travel. Flights from Indian cities to Keflavík International Airport usually connect through a European hub, so confirm total journey time and fares at the time of booking. The airport is about 45 minutes from Reykjavík by road.

Getting around Iceland

There are no trains in Iceland. Strætó buses run in Reykjavík and connect most towns, but this package uses a private vehicle for the long legs so you are not working around bus timetables. For any independent driving, check road and weather conditions first, and use a four-wheel-drive vehicle in winter conditions.
