Go wild in Reykjavik with Karina

Go wild in Reykjavik with Karina

Why Reykjavik?

Iceland was a fairly unknown tourist destination until the Eyjafjallajökull volcano erupted in 2010. The tiny Atlantic island made the news worldwide, inspiring adventure travelers to discover the untouched beauty and variety of the landscapes. The capital is a charming city filled with eye-catching art, architectural marvels, and Norse legends. Reykjavik is the best base for exploring the island, and it has great food options. Start each day with a cinnamon bun from Braud & Co. Bakery before heading out to explore the famous landscapes. Visit in winter to catch a glimpse of the Northern lights, or in summer for puffin-viewing and whale-watching season.
