The Daily Itinerary:

Day 0
Leave North America for short overnight flight on Icelandair.

Day 1:

Welcome to Iceland
After an early arrival in Iceland, grab your bags and head into Reykjavik, where you’ll be dropped at your hotel. Here you can check-in at your family room. We’ll provide ideas for exploring and suggestions on where to eat.

Day 2:

The capital Reykjavik
Start your Viking Challenge with a private 3 hour customized family friendly city tour to introduce you to Iceland’s capital. This afternoon, you could use your Reykjavik card for more fun - you could visit Viðey Island , go to Reykjavik’s farm animal zoo and family park.

Day 3:
Sea Angling
Catch your lunch today, when you head out to sea on a fishing trip into Faxaflói bay. The best part? They prepare your catch right on the boat! The afternoon is free, so perhaps take in one of the many small museums, the Maritime Museum, or soak and splash in a warm swimming pool.

Day 4:
Biking
You’ll have the morning free to sleep in, wander the city, or swim. After lunch, you’ll have a private 3-4 hour bike tour around town and to the Seltjarnarnes peninsula with its lighthouse and flocks of birds.

Day 5:
Treasure Hunt, Horses and Vikings
Something a little different this morning, as you go on a treasure hunt around the city. After a light lunch you’ll mount up and enjoy a short horseback tour in the lava fields outside Reykjavik. Then you’ll visit the Viking village in Hafnafjordur, and go to the historic sight Bessastaðir, the home of the Icelandic president.

Day 6:
Whales & the Blue Lagoon
Back to sea again this morning for a 3 hour Whale & bird watching cruise in Faxaflói bay. In the afternoon you can soak off the action of the week at the famous Blue Lagoon, before heading back to Reykjavik for a last night on the town.

Day 7:
Farewell to Iceland:
You’ll have a long morning to relax, sleep in, shop, swim or write postcards. Then you’ll be picked up at your hotel for the ride back to Keflavik Airport – where you can head home, knowing you’ve met the Viking Family Challenge!
