Day 07Departure
After a leisurely breakfast, full of memories, guests head to the airport. Check-out by 11am. Luggage can be stored at the hotel free of charge, so we recommend a later flight and an extra few hours to explore Iceland on your own. The hotel can arrange the Flybus or a private taxi.
Where you’llstay
Five-star
Reykjavik Askja Hotel
No cookie-cutter hotel: warm and inviting, with works by local artists and the Askja Spa. Set in one of Reykjavík’s greenest areas, close to the Nauthólsvík geothermal beach and Perlan, and about 20 minutes’ walk from the city centre.
Five-star
Reykjavík
Home to two-thirds of Iceland’s people, and known for its colourful houses, natural beauty and as one of the cleanest, greenest and safest cities in the world.
Five-star gourmet, catered by Avi Fine
Half board of the highest standard: a lavish breakfast and a gourmet dinner served at the hotel, and you pack your own lunch from the plentiful breakfast buffet. Mehadrin min Hamehadrin, Glatt Kosher meat, Cholov Yisrael and Pas Yisrael, under the strict supervision of Rabbi Moshe Halevi Rubenstein Shlita.
For lovers of the extreme
Skip a day of touring with the group and add any of these, at your own expense.
