Itinerary
Day 1: Overnight Flight
Board your overnight flight, bound for Iceland. Sit back, relax, and learn how to say ‘vaðlaheiðarvegavinnuverkfærageymsluskúraútidyralyklakippuhringur’, the longest word in Icelandic.
Day 2: Arrive in Reykjavík + Welcome Dinner
Welcome to Iceland, the "Land of Fire and Ice", and home to active volcanoes, striking glaciers, and really tiny horses (but don’t call them ponies).
In the evening, enjoy a Welcome Dinner of local cuisine and drinks with fellow travelers at an authentic local spot. Afterwards, you’re free to take the party elsewhere!
- Meet an EF representative at the airport.
- Transfer to your accommodations and check in.
- Get familiar with Reykjavik with an introductory walk with your Tour Director through the Old Town Center.
Go Carnivore: Grab a dog with everything on it at the Bæjarins Beztu Pylsur hot dog stand for a true taste of Iceland.
Micro-Manage: For the best craft beer in the city, look no further than Micro Bar, with 5-10 Icelandic beers always on draft.

Iceland with EF in March was the perfect 5-day getaway. Lefteris was a wonderful and caring Tour Director who put in the effort to get to know each traveler. Would recommend!
This trip was truly incredible! The beauty of Iceland is difficult to express in words but I will try! The excursions set up for each day definitely showed the beauty of the island and how amazing nature is. Our tour guide Lefteris was great and knowledgeable about all the spots...
Iceland was my first tour with EF, and I loved every second of it! The days are packed touring beautiful locations, and plenty of free time as well to do other excursions and to explore Reykjavik as well. You make connections instantly. Adam the tour guide was great - very funny...
