8 Guests | 5 Nights | 3 Master Chefs | Once-in-a-Lifetime

Embark on The Northern Journey: Iceland by River, Road, and Table — a breathtaking culinary odyssey through one of the world’s most captivating landscapes. Join celebrated chefs Matthias Merges, Paul Kahan, and Icelandic master chef Völundur Völundarson for a once-in-a-lifetime exploration of Iceland’s north — where fire, ice, and flavor meet.

This exclusive Pilot Light experience redefines travel and taste.

AN EXPERIENCE LIKE NO OTHER

Eight fortunate guests will set off from Reykjavik on a scenic northern drive that feels straight out of a dream — through volcanic plains, glacier-fed rivers, and steaming geothermal valleys. Each turn reveals another masterpiece of nature, culminating in the legendary landscapes of the Diamond Circle — Lake Mývatn, Goðafoss, Dettifoss, Ásbyrgi, Hljóðaklettar, and Dimmuborgir.

ICELAND BY TABLE

Guided by three world-class chefs, every meal becomes a celebration of Iceland’s wild abundance:

• Savor smoked Arctic charr at Mývatn, alongside warm geothermal-baked rye bread fresh from the earth.

• Fish the pristine Laxá River, one of Iceland’s most storied salmon waters.

• Journey to remote Flatey Island, catching fresh North Atlantic cod along the way — then dine on the island as your chefs craft a feast from the day’s catch.

• Visit a geothermal greenhouse farm, where Iceland’s ingenuity turns steam into life.

• Enjoy a special farm-to-table dinner, featuring an unforgettable Icelandic tasting menu prepared by your culinary hosts.

REST AND REJUVENATE

After days of adventure, unwind in the soothing waters of Iceland’s northern geothermal baths — Forest Lagoon, GeoSea, and the Mývatn Nature Baths.

Your home for five nights is the serene and stunning Svartaborg Luxury Houses, where Nordic design meets unspoiled wilderness.

THE JOURNEY

Five nights. Three master chefs. One unforgettable road north.

This is Iceland as a living story — where rivers, roads, kitchens, and skies come together in perfect harmony.
