On arrival to Keflavik Airport, you will be greeted by a driver who will take you to your accommodation in Reykjavík. After settling in, the rest of the day is free for you to explore the vibrant city centre with its abundance of museums, restaurants and bars to suit all tastes. If you're interested in checking out Icelandic design or experiencing the city's thriving coffee culture, head to the main street, Laugavegur, and enjoy its various shops and cosy cafes.
Spend the night in Reykjavik.
Day 2 : From Reykjavik To Ilulissat

Depart from Reykjavik Domestic Airport for your flight to the Arctic village of Ilulissat. If it‘s a sunny day, you can enjoy wonderful views over the Greenland ice cap from the plane.
On arrival, you will be transferred to your accommodation. After getting settled, you can explore your surroundings or take part in some optional activities such as helicopter rides over icebergs, motorboat tours to the Eqi glacier with its enormous pieces of calved ice, cultural demonstrations and village walks, whale watching safaris or excursions to the small, remote settlements in the area.
For hiking enthusiasts, the Sermermiut Valley just a few kilometres from Ilulissat offers spectacular views from a number of marked trails. We also highly recommend taking a cruise in the Icefjord to see the enormous icebergs in the warm evening glow of the midnight sun.
