Secret South Iceland

What you'll do

Day 1: Arrive in Iceland

Fly in from your chosen UK airport and land safely at Keflavik.

Collect your car hire

Make your way into the capital of Reykjavik and spend the night at Hotel Viking

Day 2: Whale Watching 

This morning, enjoy an Icelandic Whale Watching tour from the old harbor of Reykjavik. Abundant summer daylight combined with a unique mixture of cold and warm sea currents that blend in Iceland's shallow fjords make the Icelandic territorial waters home to a rich variety of krill and fish, and consequently a bountiful feeding ground that attracts twenty-three species of whales.

In the afternoon, enjoy free rein of Reykjavik.
