The Land of Fire, Ice and FIREWORKS!

Icelanders love new year´s eve and there is always a festive, happy feeling floating in the air. Spend the morning with us exploring Reykjavik and learn about the special traditions and Icelandic folklore related to the magical New Year's Eve in Iceland.

Our first stop is at the Firework sales organized by the Icelandic Rescue Teams. Each year on December 31st, Icelanders light up over 600 tons of fireworks… that is nearly 5 lbs (2 kg) per inhabitant!

Next, we visit the old Reykjavik cemetery of and hear the mysterious tale of the graveyard caretaker and why the dead rise from their graves on New Year's Eve.

Off to Hafnarfjörður, -the town in the lava- famous for its elf population. There we visit an elf stone, keeping in mind that the mystical hidden people roam freely on New Year's Eve!

The tour ends in a beautiful forest grove where we light our sparkles, toast to life and love and say farewell to the passing year in traditional Icelandic fashion!
