Itinerary

Welcome to Iceland — where glaciers and volcanoes collide in the most jaw-dropping ways. On this five-day escape, you’ll soak in natural hot springs, chase waterfalls (yes, really), and walk between continents at the edge of tectonic plates. With a local CEO guiding the way, you’ll learn the stories behind the landscapes, meet charming Icelandic horses, and stay up late hoping to catch the Northern Lights dancing overhead. It’s a short trip that makes a big impression — one that will leave you awed, refreshed, and ready for more.

day 1 - Reykjavik

Nestled in the middle of the wild North Atlantic, Iceland's dramatic natural features stand in contrast to Reykjavik's colourful, modern buildings and vibrant culture. We welcome you to Iceland, and invite you to prepare for a winter adventure like no other, with stunning natural landscapes, elven folklore and shimmering northern lights in the overhead sky.
Arrive in Reykjavik at any time and transfer to your hotel. Meet your CEO and fellow group members at the evening welcome meeting to gather information about your upcoming adventure. Afterwards, walk to a nearby restaurant for a welcome dinner.
