What does a five-day team retreat in Iceland look like?
A five-day sample itinerary runs from arrival and a volcanic tour through two working days with meetings and activities, a Golden Circle day ending in Reykjavík, and an early departure. Every day is customisable and the length is flexible, so the programme can be shortened or extended to match the team’s schedule and goals.
Day 1: How does the retreat begin?
Groups land in Iceland and are met at the airport for a meet and greet with the Team Retreats team. The first excursion of the trip heads straight into the most volcanic area in Iceland, which sets the tone for the days that follow and gives everyone a shared experience before the first working session.
Free time follows, with check-in at the hotel and time to freshen up after travel. The group then comes back together for a get together and a welcome drink, which is usually the first chance for colleagues from different offices to talk properly.
The evening ends with a private dinner in a cave, one of the more unusual dining settings in Iceland and a memorable way to close the arrival day.
Day 2: What happens on the first full working day?
The second day starts after breakfast with meetings and workshops, broken up by a coffee break in the morning. Holding the working sessions early takes advantage of the freshest part of the day and leaves the afternoon free for the group activity.
Lunch is served in the hotel, so the group stays together and no travel time is lost between the meeting room and the restaurant. The afternoon then moves outdoors for a Jeep tour that tests the team's driving skills across Icelandic terrain, a change of pace that works well after a morning of workshops.
Dinner is at the hotel that evening, which keeps the second day self-contained and gives people the option of an early night before the next morning's workout.
Day 3: What workshops and activities happen on the main retreat day?
The third day opens with a morning workout or a yoga session, an easy way to get the group moving before the working block. Half-day meetings and workshops follow, so the agenda gets a concentrated stretch of attention while the rest of the day stays free.
Lunch is at the hotel, after which the whole group takes part in a single team building activity. Whale watching and a glacier hike are the most popular choices, and both are built around the group staying together rather than splitting into smaller parties.
Dinner that evening moves away from the hotel to a venue surrounded by lava fields, which gives the day a distinct close and a setting that is difficult to find anywhere else in Europe.
Day 4: What happens on the day the group moves to Reykjavík?
Day four begins with breakfast and check-out, since the group moves base to Reykjavík by the end of the day. The morning is spent on an ATV tour across black sand, followed by lunch at a bistro.
The afternoon covers the Golden Circle before the group continues on to Reykjavík and checks in to a stylish hotel in the city. Staying in the capital on the last night is deliberate, because most flights back to Europe leave very early the following morning.
The evening is the social high point of the retreat, with dinner in a beautiful restaurant and a closing night in a trendy bar with music. It is the last full evening together before the early departure the next morning.
Day 5: How does the retreat wrap up?
The final day is deliberately short. The group takes an early check-out, has breakfast, and then departs for the airport. Most flights from Reykjavík to Europe leave very early in the morning, so an early start is worth building into the plan.
That is also the reason the previous night is spent in Reykjavík rather than in the countryside, since a hotel close to the capital removes a long transfer from an already early morning.
Iceland Company Offsite: What Teams Ask Before Booking
How much does a company offsite in Iceland cost?
Packages start from €179 per person per night for the Standard option, which covers a selection of suitable hotels and an overnight stay including breakfast. The Business package starts from €289 per person per night and adds a meeting room, coffee break and dinner. The Extraordinary package starts from €469 per person per night. A planning and booking fee of €450 to €950 applies depending on the scale of the group booking.
When is the best time of year for a company offsite in Iceland?
Each season suits a different programme. Winter brings cold, crisp weather for glacier walks, Northern Lights hunting and the Þorrablót midwinter festival. Spring turns the landscape green and brings puffin season. Summer offers endless daylight for whale watching, hiking and the highlands. Autumn is quieter, with horseback riding and the first Northern Lights of the season.
How many people can attend a company retreat in Iceland?
Iceland works for small, exclusive groups and scales up to larger teams. Around 300 hotels and restaurants across the country handle group bookings of different sizes, and groups of up to 300 people can be accommodated through a dedicated programme combining Icelandic hospitality with group activities. Group size also affects pricing and the planning and booking fee.
What team building activities are available in Iceland?
Options include a Black Beach Safari by ATV across the lava sands of the Katla volcano, an off-road tour, snorkelling between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates, a glacier hike on Sólheimajökull, whale watching, ice fishing, snowmobiling on Langjökull, a guided Northern Lights evening, kayaking, a helicopter tour, horseback riding and caving in lava tubes and ice caves.
Where do teams stay during a company offsite in Iceland?
Accommodation ranges from boutique hotels and spacious lodges to five star luxury hotels that pair contemporary design with natural surroundings. Eco-conscious properties, glass igloos and bubble hotels for sleeping under the night sky, and heated glamping tents are also available. A hotel near Reykjavík is recommended for the final night because most departing flights leave early.
Can teams see the Northern Lights on a company offsite in Iceland?
es, during the darker months. Autumn brings the first glimpses of the season and winter is the main viewing period. A guided Northern Lights evening usually starts with a session on the science and folklore behind the phenomenon, followed by warm drinks while the group waits for the sky to darken. Sightings are never guaranteed, because they depend on clear skies and conditions on the night.
How long should a company offsite in Iceland be?
The sample itinerary runs five days, from arrival and a volcanic tour through two working days, a Golden Circle day and an early departure. Duration is flexible and every day is customisable, so shorter and longer programmes are both possible. Pricing is quoted per person per night, so the number of nights is one of the factors that shapes the final cost.
What does Team Retreats organise for an Iceland offsite?
Team Retreats by Italiaplus handles accommodation in lodges or hotels, transport, dining with local flavours, and the activity programme. Retreat packages come with essential insurance and payments are secured by reinsurer R+V. Event professionals accompany the group on site for the whole trip, so the internal organiser is not managing logistics during the retreat itself.
Is Iceland a sustainable choice for a corporate retreat?
Iceland is a global leader in sustainable and eco-conscious tourism, which is why it suits teams with environmental commitments. Retreat programmes can be built around eco-friendly options, including nature-based activities, geothermal spas and accommodation that runs on renewable energy. The country’s use of renewable energy is one of the reasons the destination appeals to companies that want their events to reflect their values.
