day 1 - Reykjavik (arrival)

Welcome to Iceland! Upon arrival at Keflavik International Airport, you will be transferred to your hotel by the Flybus Shuttle Bus for check-in. Depending on your time of arrival, spend the day at leisure to explore the city at your own pace. Ingolfur Arnarson, the first settler of Iceland, built his farm on the peninsula where Reykjavík stands today. The town earned its name “Smokey Bay” after columns of steam rose from the hot springs and made a deep impression on the first settlers. Reykjavik offers a wide range of restaurants and coffee houses, making dinner a great way to get better acquainted with Iceland’s capital.

Begin your adventure at Þingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site celebrated for its breathtaking landscapes and fascinating geology. Here, you can literally walk between two continents—the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates—as they slowly drift apart, creating dramatic fissures and rift valleys. Continue to the Geysir geothermal area, where the earth comes alive with bubbling mud pools and erupting hot springs. Experience the unique Geo Taste at Geysir—sample warm, freshly baked hot spring rye bread served with creamy Icelandic butter, boiled eggs, and pickled herring, all cooked using the natural heat of the geothermal ground.
