Itinerary
Day 1: Overnight Flight
Sit back, relax, and pass the time on your overnight flight to Iceland by attempting to pronounce ‘vaðlaheiðarvegavinnuverkfærageymsluskúraútidyralyklakippuhringur,’ AKA the longest word in Icelandic.
Day 2: Explore Reykjavík + Welcome Dinner
Welcome to Iceland, the "Land of Fire and Ice,” and the home of active volcanoes, striking glaciers, really tall people descended from Vikings, and really tiny horses.
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!
- Land at the airport and meet a waiting EF representative.
- Transfer to your hotel to check in and check out your room.
- Get familiar with Reykjavik with an introductory walk with your Tour Director through the Old Town Center.
Hallgrímskirkja Church Tower: Visit the Hallgrímskirkja church observation tower for an unbelievable aerial view of Reykjavík and the surrounding mountains.
Micro Bar: For the best craft beer in the city, look no further than Micro Bar, with 5-10 Icelandic beers always on draft.
The Hot Dog Stand: Icelanders love hot dogs. Hit either Bæjarins Beztu Pylsur, or the simply named Hot Dog Stand, and get a lamb hot dog with everything: raw onions, fried onions, ketchup, sweet mustard, and a mayo remoulade sauce.

This was an amazing trip. Freezes my butt off but the northern lights was worth it!
This was one of the most amazing trips I have ever been on. I used to think that in order to have fun and do interesting things I had to bend over backwards with planning to make sure I don't leave anything out, but not anymore. Gunnar was the nicest and most interesting person...
I really hope EF keeps this trip going for a while, because Iceland is really unlike any other destination on this planet. Plus winter lovers need their representation on travel agencies as well! Reykjavik is a beautiful city with many hidden gems to explore among its many...
This was my first time going on a trip with EF Ultimate Break, and I was pleasantly surprised by the experience. I had never gone on a tour group vacation before, so I appreciated the fact that I didn't have to plan anything in advance. Additionally, I enjoyed the fact that we...
