strokkur-geyser-erupting-Iceland-womens-adventure

After our morning rituals of yoga then breakfast we take a short drive through the countryside to two of Iceland’s most famous natural treasures: the waterfall Gullfoss and the Geysir hot spring area. As you drive toward the geothermal area, you will notice the smell of sulfur, rhyolite rocks, and various steam vents in the valley, these are all evidence of geothermal activity caused by the mantle plume that sits under Iceland on the mid-atlantic ridge.

The first stop is the famous hot spring that is the namesake of all sprouting hot springs, and his neighbor, the reliable Strokkur geyser, spouts hot water up as high as 15 – 30 m, every 5 – 10 min.

About 20 minutes from Geyser is the Gullfoss (or Golden Waterfall). Fed by meltwater from the Longjokull glacier, its water is milky with silt. It cascades over three tiers and if the sun is right, you will see rainbows.

The geothermal activity also powers and heats homes and businesses in the area. We will stop for lunch at a greenhouse turned into a restaurant. One of the associates will take you on a guided tour explaining how the tomatoes are grown using renewable energy. After learning about the inner workings of the restaurant, the group will enjoy all-you-can-eat tomato soup and homemade bread.

After lunch we take a 40 minute drive to the south coast. Before head out across the vast sand delta, we stop at the beautiful waterfall Seljalandsfoss. It is one of the most photographed waterfalls and unique because you can walk behind it for 360 degree views. Bring your rain gear because you are going to get wet!

Once we are done visiting the waterfall, we continue east for 1 hr and 40 min drive plus a stop to stretch our legs before arriving at to our guesthouse in Eldraun near Kirjjubæklaustur for two nights.

We will walk along the shore and take photos and explore Diamond Beach where the bergy bits wash up. You will look for seals playing in the surf at the outlet of the lagoon.

Lunch will be on your own at one of the various food trucks at the lagoon before you head out on an epic adventure to sea kayaking in the lagoon. Here you can get up-close to big icebergs and have better opportunities to see seals.

Once you are back on shore, there will be laughs and stories about the fun time you had on the lagoon. Your guide will determine a location for dinner before getting back to your accommodations around 8:00PM

Those who want to, can hike up the 300 steps to the top of the falls and walk with the guide along the Skoga river. There are 24 waterfalls to see, but time will limit how far you can get on this out and back trail. Enjoy each step. Look for sheep munching on the grass and terns nesting nearby.

As our journey comes to a close, we gather for one last moment of relaxation and connection. Although saying goodbye is never easy, we’ll celebrate the friendships made and memories created with a soothing visit to the Sky Lagoon.

On the way to Keflavik Airport, we’ll stop at this serene spa for a 2-hour soak in the infinity pool, where the stunning views of the North Atlantic and the surrounding landscapes provide the perfect backdrop for reflection.

Green Edventures Iceland Women’s Mindfulness & Multi Sport Tour Reviews

  • Avatar Maureen Salazar
    Green Edventures is amazing! I went on the Iceland Outdoor Sports trip and absolutely loved it! The tour with Tara was fantastic. She and our local guide Inga were fun, enthusiastic, educational, very … More engaged and invested in our experience. The trip was well planned with so many adventures and wonderful local experiences. I hope to go every year!!!

    Traveling with Green Edventures to Iceland on the Multi-Sport tour offered me the opportunity to explore a beautiful country and to find my “inner Viking.” Sharing this experience with a group of women … More built friendships that can last a lifetime and memories that will last equally as long. We engaged with the (four legged) locals, explored the beauty of Iceland’s countryside and rest our heads in comfortable lodgings every evening. If only given one word of advice to women who wish to travel solo or celebrate a special milestone with friends, it would be “Go!” I’m already looking to see what my next Green Edventure trip will be!

    Recently returned from Green Edventures July Iceland multi-sport tour. This was my first experience with a tour. I was able to connect with a couple of ladies ahead of time and make additional plans pre … More and post tour with a buddy. The tour was exceptional with full days of adventures and sight seeing. Our guides Tara and Inga were fun as well as very knowledgeable about the history of the places we visited. They were prepared to make alternative plans according to the weather or circumstances (like the ring road flood and closure) so we never missed out on an activity. The accomodations and food were great. We lucked out with the weather. I hope to participate in future tours with Green Edventures.

    I just completed (August 2024) the Iceland Women’s South Coast Mult-Sport Eco Tour, and I loved every minute of it. I just moved back to Iceland after living in the US for 30 years and was eager to see … More the best of Iceland. As an active person, I was especially drawn to the multi-sport options as a part of this tour. It exceeded my expectations! Each day and activity was better than the next. It is an excellent blend of sightseeing, with a superb local guide and activities that suit all participants. I can´t say enough about this tour other than recommend it highly.

F.A.Q.

I have more questions. Who can I talk to?

Call or email us! A real person will answer the phone (or call you back).
(888) 622-4911
info@3.17.200.177

What is the average age of the participants?

The average age range is 45-65 years. Our groups tend to be multi-generational, so there may be participants ranging from their 30s to their 70s. This trip is open to any woman who is healthy, active, and resonates with the itinerary.

Do women travel solo or with friends?

Both! There is usually a 60/40 split between solo travelers and those traveling with friends. By day 3, we all become good friends, and it’s hard to tell who is solo and who isn’t.

I am a solo traveler. Do I get charged more for a single room?

No. Solo travelers are paired with other solo travelers. There are no forced single supplements. If you want to upgrade to your own room, you add that to your package when you book.

Do I need any vaccinations?

None are required currently.

What happens after I sign up?

You will receive an automatic email confirmation indicating your deposit was received. Within 24-48 hours, someone from Green Edventures will follow up with a personal email welcoming you to the trip! We are excited to meet you.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes! Pay a small deposit to secure your spot. Then, pay the balance in interest-free installments using a credit card or checking account. There is no bank transaction fees when you use your checking account. If you want the convenience of using a credit card, the bank will charge 3%. You can switch between two payment options at any time.

What is the cutoff date to confirm the trip?

The trip will need critical mass within 90 days of departure. If we don’t reach this minimum, a full refund will be issued.

Is airfare included in the price?

The package price covers land fees only. Participants need to book their own flight to Iceland. We can offer guidance, and once we have 10 participants, we will provide travel parameters for booking your flight.

How do I arrange transportation from the airport to the hotel?

Specific instructions for booking your airport transfer will be provided in your trip confirmation letter. Group return airport transfer on the last day is included. Airport transfer on day 1 is not included, giving participants flexibility in booking a flight that suits them.

Why aren’t most meals included?

In Iceland, it’s easy to order your own meals, and it gives participants more flexibility, especially for those with food restrictions. We sit at the same table and order separate meals, making payment easy at the end. Participants enjoy this approach.

Where do we stay?

We stay in a mix of 3-star hotels, cottages, and sometimes guest houses. All rooms are double occupancy with private bathrooms. In rural areas, accommodations may have shared bathrooms, but these will be clearly noted in the itinerary.

Do I need to be in shape to join this adventure?

Trips are designed for beginners and tailored to the individual. As long as you are healthy and active, you’ll be able to enjoy the trip at any age or stage of fitness. Local guides will teach you the skills you need for safe and enjoyable experiences.

How far are the hikes?

Expect to walk a lot (14K-18K steps) per day. Most hikes are 1.5-2.5 miles roundtrip. If you have questions or concerns, contact us because we have un-advertised alternatives for most of our activities.

What type of transportation is used on the tour?

From day 2-8 the group will get around Iceland in a 12-16 seater sprinter van. 

How do I pack for Iceland?

You only need personal gear. All equipment is provided. Important items include waterproof, lightweight, breathable rain gear, and sturdy waterproof hiking boots. Trekking poles are optional for extra stability.

Here is a link to the packing list: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Hzaf9lILuTfZgFacaf_0Bh9LsnmgkGwB5OrH0QptSr0/edit?tab=t.0

Should I get travel insurance?

Yes, we recommend purchasing travel insurance to protect you and your investment.
You can get more information and purchase travel insurance here:

What is your cancellation policy?

You may cancel your reservation and receive a full refund if written notice is provided within 48 hours of submitting your deposit. After this period, the standard cancellation policy applies.
