Be sure to book a flight that arrives by 3 PM on the 12th. Also, consider booking your departure flight in the late afternoon on the 17th so you have time to practice yoga and enjoy breakfast at the retreat.

You may prefer to fly into Reykjavik early or stay there a few days after the retreat as hotel rates will be off-season. You can even rent a car and see the country on your way to the retreat. Just let us know your travel plans, and we will accommodate you.
