2022 Itinerary Outline
2022 August trip Itinerary Outline
As a participant of the Snorri Plus Program you will arrive at Keflavík airport early in the morning of Monday August 8, 2022 where a bus and a Snorri-representative will be waiting to drive you along with the rest of the group to the capital of Iceland, Reykjavík. In Reykjavík you will settle down in a centrally located guesthouse and relax after a long flight and recover from your jet-lag.
August 8 - 12
During your first few days in Iceland you will get a great introduction of the City of Reykjavík and participate in a cultural and educational program with presentations on various subjects such as History, Culture, Introduction to Icelandic and Geology. You will receive your family tree and the program will contact your relatives and host a reception. You will visit museums, dine out and discover Reykjavík by foot.
August 13- 19
Early in the morning we will depart Reykjavík on our week-long Adventure Tour around Iceland. In the past we've toured around the West, East, North and South. We plan the tour around the genealogical information of our participants and the places their ancestors came from, therefore, the trip is different from year to year.
If you have relatives in any of the areas we visit the program will help you get in touch with them and stops will be made by some ancestral farms along the way.
August 20-22
You will experience Reykjavík's Culture Night, take part in the Reykjavík Marathon with the group (3 or 10 km fun run, half a marathon or a full one), ending with a big show of fireworks. That weekend you will get a chance to participate in the Icelandic National League of Iceland's convention and get to know your relatives some more. You can also have an optional free day to plan something on your own and/or meet up with friends or relatives.
You will visit the ancient site of the Parliament/Alþingi and take a Golden Circle Tour, ending with a grand lobster dinner in a small coastal town. The program will try to find visits to a company/organization that specializes in your field of work where you can make contacts and familiarize yourself with your Icelandic colleagues. If you are retired or do not wish to make such a connection the program will help you find contacts related to your interests.
Departure from Keflavík Monday, August 22, 2022.
