Join us on the Journey of a lifetime

Iceland is pure ethereal magic. Isolated in the frigid North Atlantic and forged through centuries of volcanic upheaval and tectonic shifting, Iceland is stunning to see and otherworldly to explore. The outdoors provide all the surreal majesty you need: towering snow-capped mountain peaks scratch the sky, massive glaciers scrape the earth, sprawling lava fields stretch beyond the horizon. We will luxuriate in the hot springs and explore the wonderfully weird Reykjavik, both its history and art are not to be missed. And what trip to Iceland would be complete without a dip in the Blue Lagoon. See and feel this magical land with a small group of like-minded women.

We promise a journey into the land of ice and fire that you will never forget.
