Holidays in Iceland
The Autumn of 2011 and the early months of 2012 are being hailed as the best time for the last 50 years to see the Northen Lights - now we have not always placed a great deal of faith in the weather forecasters but, if they are right, this means that it is an ideal time to visit Rekkjavik and enjoy the many wonders of an Icelandci holiday.
Background on Iceland
Iceland offers a variety of natural wonders - glaciers, geysirs, thermal pools and of course at certain times of year the spectacle of the Northern Lights. There is a multitude of activities on offer - from horse riding to diving, whale watching to bird watching, 4x4 adventures, national parks to hike in and of course swimming.
The Blue Lagoon is a must for anyone visiting Iceland and is conveniently located near to the airport making it an easy trip to do on your last day - you can relax in the warm waters enjoying the last moments of your holiday before heading back.
Reykjavik itself has many superb restaurants where you can taste some of the local specialities, excusive shops and boutiques and a good choice of hotels. The nightlife is reputed to be one of the best in Europe.

Pre Departure
When you book your holiday with Zenith Holidays, you can be confident that we will be there to help make the whole experience as smooth as easy as possible.
During the week before you leave, we will call you to make sure you have all you need or to provide any help or assistance in some last minute touches - but, before then, do make sure your passport is valid (not required for Jersey) and peruse our upgrade possibilities - you can book up to 2 weeks before you travel but do be aware that some things will sell out - airport parking and the Meet & Greet service often do on peak holiday dates and the "Fetch-my-luggage" service is bound to be popular on busy weeks so do book that early.
If you need an airport hotel or even some "tried & tested" car games for the kids for the drive down, let us know or book them online - once you have booked your holiday, all these extras can be added in your own secure booking area.
