Explore has unveiled its brand new accommodation concept in Iceland, a private collection of bespoke yurts set in the heart of the Golden Circle. The new accommodation, Náttúra Yurtel, will feature in a new three night, four day trip beginning April 2020 – Iceland Yurt Adventure.
Highlights of the new itinerary include visiting Iceland’s breathtaking big three waterfalls – Skogafoss, Seljalandsfoss and Gullfoss, and the black basalt cliffs at Vik I Mydral. Guests will also spend time in Reykjavik with its mix traditional corrugated iron homes and modern architecture.
As well as watching the iconic Strokkur Geyser erupt and the chance to walk between two continents in Thingvellir National Park, there is an option for guests to relax in a natural geo-thermal pool, known locally as the Secret Lagoon.
Set on a working Icelandic horse farm, Náttúra Yurtel is perfectly located to discover the highlights of Southern Iceland, particularly the nearby Gullfoss and Geysir, which can be visited early or later in the day to beat the crowds.
Commissioned by Explore and built in Mongolia by a family with a long history in yurt building, the yurts have been furnished and fitted in contemporary Icelandic design. Guests can sleep under the stars in complete comfort, as the yurts come with ensuite facilities, underfloor heating and communal yurts for relaxing in.
A three night stay costs from $1,630pp departing 27 April 2020. The price includes breakfast and two dinners. The trip is limited to a maximum of 14 people.
