Reykjavík
The capital at the edge
Reykjavík is where your specialist meets you, where the welcome briefing happens and where the city's restaurants, galleries and geothermal pools give a first taste of the island.
Beyond the harbour, Mount Esja changes colour with the weather, and on clear winter nights the aurora can be seen over the bay.

Arrival and the first night
Keflavík airport is around 45 minutes away by private transfer. Most journeys begin with a night in the city to rest, meet your guide and adjust to the light.
A small city of coloured roofs and concrete spires, where the journey begins and the North Atlantic is never more than a street away.
