Welcome to Reykjavik!
Bite-sized trip
Day 1 – Arrival in Reykjavik
Spot snow-capped peaks and volcanic craters from the plane window as you fly into Keflavik airport. Once you touch down, collect your rental car and venture into the city. Reykjavik is a compact and trendy city that is home to over half of the Icelandic population. The modern architecture, shops, young people and boutique restaurants give the city a quirky Nordic touch. You’ll stay in a hotel that is centrally located with authentic Scandinavian design, offering you a comfortable and stylish retreat amidst the city’s vibrant energy. Let the charm of Reykjavik unfold before you, as you settle into your accommodation, ready to embark on an unforgettable Icelandic adventure.
Day 2 – Summer: whale-watching boat trip
If you’re travelling in the summer months, then after breakfast today you will head out from the harbour on a traditional fishing boat for a whale-watching trip. These fisherman are experts in knowing where to find these gentle giants, whilst ensuring it is done without disturbing them or causing any stress. You’ll spend around three hours on the boat, eagerly seeking out these majestic beings. Gaze in awe at the sight of powerful fins splashing in the sea and if you’re lucky, you’ll see a full breach! These moments are nothing short of extraordinary and with every sighting, the connection with nature deepens, leaving you in awe of these gentle giants.

Reykjavik – volcano eruption helicopter flight tour
Enjoy the highlights of Reykjavik in a very different way.. from a bird’s eye view! Whether you want to see mossy lava fields, steaming hot springs or volcanic craters – you’ll see it all on your helicopter flight. You can now even fly over an active volcano for a real thrill. Drive to Reykjavik’s centrally-located domestic airport to meet your pilot and be briefed on your flight. Then you’ll take to the skies and fly to the volcanic eruption at Geldingadalur. The landscapes that will unfold as you begin to soar are similarly spectacular, though much more barren than the rest of Reykjavik. Your flight lasts around an hour, with a 15-minute stop near the eruption to really take it all in.
