more info
Our Best of Iceland experience isn’t just a trip. It’s an unforgettable journey through one of the world’s most breathtaking landscapes. From the lively streets of Reykjavik to the rugged beauty of the South Coast, Iceland is a land of contrasts where fire and ice collide. You’ll witness powerful waterfalls, walk along striking black sand beaches, and unwind in geothermal hot springs. We planned this trip at the perfect time to see the Northern Lights, and on past trips, we’ve always been lucky enough to catch them dancing across the sky.
This trip is more than just sightseeing. It’s about embracing adventure, experiencing nature at its most awe-inspiring, and making unforgettable memories with like-minded women.

Important to Know
Important Information to Know
Please note that this tour covers the highlights of the country of Iceland and, naturally, involves a lot of time on the road when heading to Southern Iceland to experience the true beauty of the country. While this trip includes a Northern Lights hunting adventure, we can’t guarantee sightings, as they’re a natural phenomenon. However, on previous trips, many of our guests were fortunate to see them multiple times, as this is the peak season for viewing.
Note that our itinerary focuses on bucket list experiences. The itinerary is subject to change due to inclement weather or other factors outside of our control.
