Detailed Itinerary

Notice: The Reykjavik City Council recently implemented a new regulation that prevents coaches from entering the city center. Therefore, we have selected a hotel outside the center to ensure the ease and convenience of your included transfers and transportation.

Day 1:Reykjavik

• Board your overnight flight for Reykjavik

Day 2: Reykjavik

3 nights Grand Hotel Reykjavik or similar

• Transfer to your hotel
• Balance of the day at leisure or join an optional excursion

Full Day Itinerary:Upon arrival in Reykjavik, after immigration and custom formalities, please make your way outside the airport and proceed to the parked bus marked with Flybus. Most flights arrive early in the morning, but your hotel will allow you to safely store your luggage while you explore the city on your own.

Optional Excursion: Blue Lagoon, $165. This morning, visit the famous Blue Lagoon, a pool of mineral rich geothermal water located in a lava field. Deep wells feed the pool which maintains a constant temperature of approximately 100-110F year round. Take the opportunity to relax and enjoy a sauna. Towels are provided.

Day 3: Reykjavik

Breakfast

• Spend the morning at leisure
• Enjoy an afternoon panoramic tour of Reykjavik

Full Day Itinerary:Spend the morning getting to know Reykjavik independently.

In the afternoon, enjoy a tour of Reykjavik. The Reykjavik Grand Excursion is a comprehensive introduction to the past and present of Reykjavik. Reykjavik’s unique proximity to nature sets it apart from its European counterparts. Visit The Pearl, Hallgrímskirkja Church, the harbor, and the renowned 101 Reykjavik neighborhood. Take in views of the Salmon River, which divides city in two, and the mountainous backdrop to the east, a constant reminder of Iceland’s volcanic past.

Optional Excursion: Northern Lights, (purchased locally) approx. $51. This evening, join a quest to view the elusive Northern Lights on this dark winter Icelandic night. Far from the glow of the city you will hunt the ethereal Aurora Borealis, one of nature’s most fantastic displays. If the weather is just right you will see the lights swirling and dancing across the twilit sky endlessly changing their shape, color, and size. Return to Reykjavik.

This excursion is subject to weather conditions. Check with the hotel's front desk for availability.
