ICELAND
summer road trips + hot springs
7 DAYS in
ICELAND
AUGUST 1-7, 2025
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.

What is not Included?
Flights
Airport Transfers - Please note: Iceland very much discourages car hire pick ups as reflected in the 200 euro price tag. It is far cheaper and much more sustainable to book a bus ticket as you exit baggage claim. Easy peasy and a nice reflection of how seriously Icelanders take their commitment to environmental protection in tourism.
Travelers Insurance - Here is a handy dandy insurance search tool
Alcoholic beverages
Meals not listed on our itinerary
Hotel room service, mini-bar or hotel add-ons beyond the night’s accommodation
Tips & gratuities for housekeeping, portage, AWT tour leaders - all at your discretion

Anything else not listed on the IS INCLUDED list
