Day 1: Arrival
Welcome to the Land of Fire and Ice! On your own, transfer to Reykjavik. We recommend
the easy and convenient FlyBus Plus transfers, which can be booked through Iceland
Travel. If your flight lands early in the day, a great suggestion is to explore Reykjavík, the
largest municipality in Iceland. Ingolfur Arnarson, the first settler of Iceland, built his farm
on the peninsula where Reykjavík stands today. The town got its name “Smoky Bay” after
the columns of steam that rose from the hot springs in the area and made such a deep
impression on the first settlers. Dinner is on your own. Reykjavik offers a multitude of
restaurants and/or coffee-houses, making dinner a great way to get better acquainted with
Iceland's capital. Please note guaranteed early check-in is not included in the price. Most
hotels begin check-in around 14:00 (2:00pm). Overnight stay in Reykjavík (airport transfer
not included). Dinner on own. Highlights: Reykjavik |Hallgrimskirkja |Tjornin |The Sun
