Discover a spirit of adventure that stretches from the cobbled colonial towns of Quebec to the unspoiled frontiers of British Columbia’s Pacific coast.

Become a cultural explorer in vibrant cities and encounter romance on far frontiers where native tribesmen hunted and cowboys, trappers and prospectors forged new lives. You’ll find wilderness adventures at the foot of Niagara Falls and on the back of glacial ice fields. Unique excursions, unrivalled attractions and unforgettable memories all beckon.

Complete with the old world charm of colonial-era architecture and an unparalleled beach front setting, this long-established, award-winning resort is perfect for swimming, strolling, rejuvenating and socialising. You'll be right on Chaweng beach, revelling in the peace at the quieter end, but you'll also have easy access to Central Festival for shopping and the ever-present buzz of Chaweng Road. With the extensive range of accommodation options as well as host of facilities and activities make the Centara Grand Beach Resort Samui perfect for the most tranquil romantic escape or an adventuresome family holiday.

And your good times will begin almost from the minute you touch down on the island, as the resort is a mere 15-minute drive from Samui International Airport.

DAY TOUR

Iceland's most popular natural wonders in one day. Find the dancing northern lights after a joyful Golden Circle tour.

Duration: 10 hours 30 minutes

The Golden Circle Tour is in the morning, which allows for a 3 to 6 hour interval before heading off on the Northern Lights tour. That interval is the perfect opportunity to grab dinner or to go on our Cheers to Reykjavík tour in Reykjavík.

The Golden Circle Tour is where we visit the country´s three iconic natural treasures: Þingvellir National Park, where the American and Eurasian plates have been pulling apart; the erupting geyser that sends water and steam spouting skywards; and the spectacular Gullfoss Waterfall where a glacial river thunders 32 meters into a canyon. When night falls we set off hunting for the magical and elusive Northern Lights. Of course it all depends on the weather forecast and visibility conditions as to whether we go, so do keep this in mind. And, don´t forget, the Auroras are only visible during the winter months.

Please note
We are working with Iceland´s most talented Northern lights hunters to find the best places every night.
It is never a guaranteed that we will see northern lights, however, we do our best to maximize our chances by picking the best locations.
Since it is never guaranteed to see aurora, we will make sure you get the chance to see them. In the event of a unsuccessful hunt, we offer you the chance to re-book as many times as needed until you partake in a successful northern lights hunt. You can continue to do this within a 2 year period of going on the first hunt.
If the Northern Lights portion of this tour is canceled due to weather and you don't have an opportunity to participate in a subsequent tour, the northern lights portion of the tour will be refunded.

What do I need to bring?
For the In-Bus-Audio-Guide: Bring your own headphones. Otherwise headphones are available for purchase in every bus from our hosts.


For your comfort: Dress according to weather. In Iceland it is always wise to dress in warm waterproof clothes. Weather changes can be sudden so be prepared for all weather conditions. Waterproof jacket and pants, headwear and gloves, and warm socks/waterproof shoes are recommended, especially since we will be outside at night during the hunt for the northern lights.
