2024 Itinerary Outline
As a participant of the Snorri Program you will arrive at Keflavik International Airport on Sunday, June 9, 2024 where a bus and a Snorri representative will be waiting to drive you and your fellow Snorris to Reykjavík.
In Reykjavík you will get settled at Dalur Hostel in the beautiful Laugardalur area of Reykjavík, relax after your long journey and recover from the jet lag. Here is a rough scheme of the program:
Week 1
Extensive cultural and educational program on: the Icelandic language, culture, history and other relevant subjects.
Lectures, company visits, short day trips, and fun evening and weekend activities.
Week 2
Carrying on with Icelandic class and cultural lectures about the land of your ancestors. By now you should be able to understand and use some basic Icelandic phrases. We'll visit museums, try Icelandic food, cook together, and you'll also have some free time to explore and enjoy Reykjavík on your own.
Week 3
You will move in with your Icelandic host family and experience what life in Iceland is like day-to-day.
Week 4
The 'family and volunteer period' continues. Examples of previous Snorris' volunteer placements include: tree planting, garden work, construction, slaughter house, fish-freezing plant, hotel work, tourist information, museum, archeological excavation, national park, banking, farming, nursery, hospital, senior citizens’ home, swimming pool, whale watching, horse rental, brewery/factory work, street theater and more. You will not receive regular wages and your family will provide room and board. At the end of this week, the group will gather in Reykjavik again for one night before heading on the final tour.
Week 5
An adventurous tour filled with stunning nature and sites of historical importance that will take you to some of the most exotic and beautiful places in Iceland, connecting you to the land of your ancestors. Horses and glaciers, geysers and waterfalls, hiking and boating, bathing in hot springs and loving every minute! The tour usually ends with a graduation ceremony and celebration where participants give short presentations on their experiences in Iceland.
Departure from Keflavík International Airport is Saturday, July 13, 2024.
