Registration will close 60 days before the trip (May 9, 2027), however, many trips sell out fast. If you are interested in going, I encourage you to sign up as soon as possible versus later. You can always pay a deposit and get a full refund within the first 30 days of registration.

Please note that I only have 14 spots available.

A $500 deposit is required to reserve your spot. The remaining balance can then be spread out through flexible payment plan options between the time you register and the trip, making it easier to budget for your adventure over time.

Your trip fee covers all accommodations in boutique hotels and guesthouses, private ground transportation, all meals, experienced local guides, guided hikes and excursions, entrance fees, mindfulness practices, as well as a gallery of professional photos from your adventure.

International flights to and from Reykjavik (KEF) are NOT included in your trip fee. In addition, any optional activities, meals not specified in the itinerary, alcoholic beverages and snacks, tips for guides, personal expenses, and additional travel fees are not included.

Also not included are two optional experiences: horseback riding (approximately $150 USD) and the Sky Lagoon hot springs and spa experience (approximately $160 USD). Both are completely optional and can be added for an additional fee.

Keep in mind that travel medical insurance is not included but is REQUIRED for all YLA trip participants. Policies are often quite affordable, typically costing around $100–$200 USD or less, depending on your coverage. I'll include a list of reputable insurance providers in your registration confirmation email to help you find the right policy for your Iceland adventure.

Iceland in July typically offers mild summer days, long daylight hours, and cool evenings, but the weather can change quickly—so you'll want to pack for a variety of conditions, including wind and rain.

Think layers—lightweight activewear for hiking, a warm fleece or lightweight down jacket, and a waterproof/windproof rain jacket for Iceland's unpredictable weather.

You'll need sturdy hiking shoes or boots for the trails, comfortable shoes for exploring, and a swimsuit for hot springs and lagoons. Casual, comfortable clothing is perfect for evenings—nothing too fancy, but something you feel good in after a day of adventuring.

This is an adventure trip, so function > fashion, but you can absolutely have both. 

I’ll email you a complete packing list prior to the trip, so you don't have to wonder what to bring.

Please book round trip airfare to Reykjavik International Airport (KEF) on July 9th no later than 3PM (local time). If your flight comes in anytime that day, we will arrange transportation to pick you up.

If you arrive the day before, you will need to arrange your own hotel for the night, along with transportation to and from the hotel.

On July 16h, please arrange your return flight anytime. 

Additional information about booking your flights—including recommended arrival/departure times, airports, suggested routes, and helpful booking tips—will be provided in your confirmation email. Please review these details before purchasing your flights.

All accommodations on my trips are based on shared occupancy, meaning you’ll share a room with at least one other woman from the group. You’ll each have your own bed, typically in a twin or multi-bed room setup.

Shared rooms are a great way to build connection and often lead to some of the most meaningful friendships on these trips!

If you’re traveling solo, I’ll thoughtfully pair you with a roommate—many women come on their own, and I do our best to match you with someone compatible.

That said, on rare occasions due to hotel layout or limited availability in remote locations, I can’t always guarantee separate beds in EVERY room. Usually this means sharing a queen or king bed. If this comes up, I’ll communicate with you in advance and do my best to make sure you're comfortable.

Private rooms may be available for an additional fee. If you’d like your own room, just reach out after registration and I’ll let you know what’s possible based on availability.

If you have food allergies, we will accommodate you food needs and preferences. I always send out a survey prior to the trip for this reason, so we can plan our meals at restaurants that accommodate different food allergies and preferences (such as gluten-free, vegetarian, dairy-free).

*Please note that alcoholic beverages or specialty drinks (such as mocktails) and snacks are not included in your trip fee. Also, keep in mind that there is a meal budget, so if you want to order more than that, you will just pay me the difference at the end of the trip.

Absolutely. While all activities are thoughtfully curated to give you the best experience possible, everything on this trip is optional. If you ever need some downtime or prefer to explore on your own, you’re welcome to do so.

Just keep in mind that the itinerary is designed as a group experience, so transportation and logistics are arranged around scheduled activities. If you choose to skip something, any additional costs for separate transport or meals would be your responsibility.

This is your adventure—you get to make it what you need it to be.

This trip is designed for women with a moderate to good fitness level who are comfortable being active for several hours at a time and hiking on consecutive days.

We'll be hiking through some of Iceland's incredible landscapes, including uneven, rocky, and sometimes steep terrain.You should be comfortable hiking approximately 5–8 miles with some elevation gain, depending on the day's adventure.

You definitely don't need to be an elite athlete, but we recommend regular hiking, walking, or cardio training leading up to the trip so you can fully enjoy the experience.

This is an active adventure trip, so come prepared to move, challenge yourself, and experience Iceland in the BEST possible way—outside and on foot!

If you choose not to participate in the mindfulness practices exercises such as guided meditations or journaling, that is completely up to you.

I offer intentional "Mindfulness Moments" on these trips because they are a powerful way to reconnect more deeply with yourself, especially in the midst of such awe-inspiring places.

If you're seeking to build more confidence, gain clarity, or simply feel more grounded and present in your life—these practices will fill your soul in ways you didn't expect.

Many of our past trip guests say these mindfulness practices were some of the most unexpected and life-changing parts of their journey. They came for the adventure…but left with something so much deeper.
