New Year's Eve Bonfire & Fireworks

The Icelandic New Year's Eve is considered one of the world's most breathtaking New Year's celebrations. The traditional Brenna bonfires of New Year's Eve have their origins in the Middle Ages when people built bonfires to burn the old things they no longer needed. In Reykjavik there are several bonfires around town where inhabitants gather, shoot off fireworks, sing and dance as they wait for the New Year to come in. At midnight the skies open with thousands of fireworks set off across the city by families. Take a night tour of Reykjavik and visit the bonfires, enjoying the holiday spirit and singing of the last day of the year! At midnight, head to a special viewpoint to watch the fireworks. Drink a toast of sparkling wine as you enjoy one of the world's most spectacular fireworks displays.

Note:  If the weather is too rainy or windy, the tour will be cancelled.
