Welcome to Iceland! Arrive in Reykjavik and transfer to your hotel. You can relax and spend the rest of the day at your leisure, before meeting your group for a special Welcome Dinner. Afterwards, you can search for one of Mother Nature’s most spectacular shows – the Aurora Borealis, more commonly known as the Northern Lights.
