Private Jet to Reykjavík
Reykjavik is one of those rare places which are not only admired but also honoured. It is a peninsula which serves as the meeting point of the North Atlantic and the Arctic. The skies of which in the winter season seem to flare down into curtains of emerald and violet, and in summer to retain a golden glory which never surrenders its place to the night. Geothermal energy gushes out of the ground under your feet, Viking sagas and futuristic design coexist with an effortless elegance, and the crude drama of boiling geysers, prehistoric glaciers, and wild lava fields captivate you the very minute your plane lands.
To people who have seen the best places on the planet, Reykjavik is a place that cannot be hurried. The aurora borealis has no schedule in place. A weather opening above the Snæfellsnes Peninsula, a weather gap above the Highlands, and an opportunity to land on the glacier of the Vatnajokull at first daylight are rare to find. Coming on the private jet ensures that your schedule is flexible. The Challenge Jet Charter clients have made a diversion at hours’ notice to Reykjavik simply to intercept the lights, stay in when the weather conditions were exceptional and leave at the time when their respective schedules allowed.
Challenge Jet Charter has guided its clients to high-latitude destinations where the conditions demand the highest level of accuracy in operations. The operations team ensures that all the minor details, such as accelerated customs processing, luxury airport transfer to your accomodation and private tours are in place even before you set foot in Iceland.
Things To Do in Reykjavík
Private Aurora Expeditions
The aurora borealis is the experience of a lifetime for many who visit Iceland, and there is nothing that can be termed as preparing one for the actual feeling of seeing the lights as they play around an Icelandic sky. The colours shift to deep violet, crimson in a few minutes, and of such magnitude and beauty that even most travelled people stand speechless. Custom tours can be booked through the best guides in Iceland, with their inside knowledge of Iceland and its inlands, plus an experience of the perfect place and time when the sky is lit up, they will take you to the best viewing spot.
A special superyacht cruise in Reykjavik waters provides another distinct drama, with lights being reflected on open Arctic water, and not a particle of land in sight, but just the whole majesty of the night sky above them. Challenge Jet Charter prepares all these arrangements to the full extent for clients visiting the destination in the summer.
Geothermal & Natural Wilderness
The geological restlessness of Iceland is the characteristic of this country, the land that is being shaped, the forces that shape the earth are still observable, audible and discernible. The scenery raises your understanding of the plane of the earth, where the tectonic plate of North America and the Eurasian plate are literally being torn apart (by two centimetres annually), a combined geologic-historical event unparalleled. The private excursion package in Iceland offers one of the most captivating images in the world. A private helicopter charter to the largest ice cap in Europe, Vatnajokul, during sunrise, lets you witness when the ice that is blue in colour, turns to gold.
Fishing expeditions to the sea, snowmobiling across the glacier at Langjokull, and whale watching charter trips out of the old harbour, on a ship to yourself alone, all these are activities of what Iceland has to offer, and all this would be done with the same perfection and courtesy that is accorded, as per your desire.
Dining at the Summit
The culinary life in Reykjavik has experienced an exceptional change, which constantly leaves one astonished whenever they visit it, thinking that remoteness would also mean the limitation of culinary options. The first Michelin-starred restaurant in Iceland, Dill, is the standard-setter and strictly adhering to the New Nordic philosophy of Gunnar Karl Gíslason, is bringing classical technique to what is literally growing on the ground: Arctic char, skyr, crowberries, dulse, and lamb. The cuisine is a tribute to the culture and history of the land and is par with the modern dining experience.
Ox, a rooftop restaurant in the Dill building, is an omakase experience and features eight sittings at a single table, which leaves the chef inside the kitchen with no room for error. The premium-grade ingredients and multi-course dining experience can’t be replicated. Another notable place is Matur og Drykkur. Just out of the harbour, it is a smart reinterpretation of the traditional Icelandic recipes; the lamb soup and the head of a cod, which are the hallmark of the restaurant.

Places To Stay In Reykjavík
The Iceland Retreat at Blue Lagoon
The Retreat, undoubtedly, is the most exclusive hotel in Iceland, as well as one of the most remarkable intimate houses worldwide. The lava field is constructed into the lava field itself, the architecture is created to blend with the geological structure of the landscape, the corridors and suites are curated out of the geothermal water, which is available at any hour of the night or day in the 62 suites at the property. The Retreat Spa is an entirely different place from the public presentation of the Blue Lagoon since it has its own lagoon, its own treatment rooms, and gives the feeling of total calmness.
Ion Adventure Hotel
Ion, on the lava fields of the Nesjavellir, is forty-five minutes outside of Reykjavik and has an architecturally dramatic cantilevered location facing a geothermal subarctic lake, with open wilderness in every direction. Watching the Northern lights through the outdoor hot tubs is also one of the most unique experiences that can be provided by any property in Iceland. With the height, no light pollution, and the clear horizon all together creates a vision that no hotel set-up anywhere can ever repeat.
Hotel Borg
Hotel Borg is the grand old hotel in Reykjavik: a masterpiece of the Art Deco, looming over the Austurvollur square in front of the Althingi parliament building of the Republic of Iceland that has hosted heads of state, famous musicians, and writers of international stature since 1930. It has been meticulously rebuilt without wasting any of its period charm, the proportions and the materials. The Barg Restaurant is located in the enclave within walking distance to the old quarter, the harbour and Harpa, making it easy to find from anywhere in the city. Hotel Borg is the preferred choice of the elite who want to enjoy their stay in the centre of history in Reykjavik, along with its new cultural life.
