You won’t regret spending time exploring Reykjavik and its surrounds. Discover cosmopolitan Reykjavik on a walking tour, and treat yourself to a relaxing soak at the famous Blue Lagoon.
Day 1 – Reykjavik
After disembarking your voyage, a transfer is included to your hotel.
This afternoon you will have a day of indulgence at the Blue Lagoon – one of Iceland’s most popular attractions. The Blue Lagoon is a natural geothermal pool in the middle of a large and dramatic lava field, and an oasis that owes its existence to a nearby geothermal power plant.
We stop for a refreshing bathe or a swim in the inviting, rejuvenating and pleasantly warm mineral-rich water (36°C-38°C/100-110°F), famed for its reputed healing properties. The pool’s warm water and natural active ingredients such as mineral salts, silica and blue green algae soothe the muscles, and an indoor pool and geothermal sauna are also on the site. Bathing in this surreal environment is a unique experience not to be missed.
Overnight: Fosshotel Reykjavik
Day 2 – Half Day Afternoon Reykjavik City Tour
Make your own way to Hallgrímskirkja Church located at the top of the downtown hill. Enjoy a stroll through the quaint streets of the Þingholt neighbourhood towards the City Pond, where we will feed the ducks, geese and swans found on the northern end of the pond – fun for kids and grown-ups alike and a popular activity with local families on weekends.
Continuing across the pond and into the City Hall, we view the super-sized topographical map of Iceland, and your guide will provide insight into Iceland’s fascinating geology and volcanic history. The excursion continues by weaving its way through the heart of the city, taking in the parliament, our modest but beautiful cathedral, and the site of the first Viking homesteads in the city, before visiting the busy Old Harbour. The excursion ends with a visit to the impressive Harpa Concert Hall.
