Why this package wins for nonprofits
Iceland commands attention at the auction block because it delivers what most donors dream about but few pursue: the Northern Lights and geothermal hot springs, combined with the choice of a seasonal whale watching boat tour or a Northern Lights boat tour depending on travel dates. This is the trip that gets paddles moving. The Sand Hotel serves as your base for five nights, and the Blue Lagoon premium experience—Iceland's most iconic geothermal attraction—is built in. For your nonprofit, the consignment model means zero financial risk. You pay HGA only if this package sells at your auction, and only the $3,995 reserve. Every bid above that goes entirely to your mission. A trip this distinctive, paired with zero upfront cost, creates the conditions for genuine competition.
The experience your winner walks into
Your five nights begin at the Sand Hotel, where you'll settle into comfortable accommodations and plan your Iceland adventure. Early in your stay, you'll experience the Blue Lagoon premium experience—Iceland's celebrated geothermal hot springs where you can float in milky-blue mineral-rich waters surrounded by volcanic rock. Depending on your travel dates, you'll choose between two boat-based excursions: if you're traveling May through August, the Whale Watching Boat Tour takes you out to spot these magnificent creatures in Icelandic waters; if you're coming September through April, the Northern Lights Boat Tour positions you on the open sea for an unobstructed view of the aurora borealis dancing across the night sky. Between these signature experiences, you'll have time to explore Iceland's dramatic volcanic landscapes, glaciers, and waterfalls at your own pace. Your HGA travel specialist will coordinate all bookings and logistics, ensuring every detail is handled before you depart.
