Hike to explore waterfalls, volcanos, glaciers, and hot springs
Welcome to the magical land of Iceland. This is an adventure jam-packed with days that have 22 hours of light. So get ready for nonstop trails, swims, caves, mini horses, geysers, waterfalls, elves, yoga, and dried fish!
We're not all ultra-marathoners, and that's okay! These boots (and sneakers) were made for hiking, too. The trails of Iceland are for all levels, whether you're usually clocking 10 miles a day or you break a sweat walking around your neighborhood. Either way, exploring this unreal country on foot is the way to go.
We’re not doing the whole snapping-pics-through-the-streaky-window-of-your-rental-car thing. This is literally off the grid, off the trail, off your mother’s radar. We’re doing Iceland the right way, eating weird snacks, seeing sights only fit for fairytales, snapping pics of you being the adventurous maniac that you’ve always wanted to be (hello Insta flames), and making friends with the most spirited group of people who are just like you.
It's a hiking, running, skipping, piggybacking, however you want to get around the trails type of trip. There are many levels to it from 'stop and smell the roses' to 'sexy pace' to 'LFG' -- everyone will get what they want! Time to lace up your sneakers, book your flight, and meet us at the trailhead.
HIT THE GROUND "RUNNING"
We'll find you at the airport (meet at KEF between 8-10am) and right away head to some sweet spots along the way to our basecamp.
The first stop is Skogafoss! This is where we'll hike (3-4 hours) and jump in the hot springs to wash off afterwards!
When we arrive to basecamp in the late afternoon, we'll shower, hot tub, sauna and have dinner at home. Dancing will be rampant, daylight will be plentiful, and the elfs come out to play at night. Where this night takes you is your story, but this is just day 1.
GLACIER LAKE & WATERFALLS
Wake-up calls, a morning bootcamp, a hearty breakfast awaits before we depart for Hnausapollur Cinder Cone (glacier lake & waterfall). Then we hit the Bláhnjúkur Mountain Hike & Hot Springs Hangout. Hike: 5.4 mile, loop, ~3hrs 10mins, 1,499 elevation gain
We head back for evening yoga, happy hour and a big group dinner at Midgard!
THORSMORK
Wake-up calls and breakfast begin the day, then we depart for Thorsmork and along the way we stop for some sexy photo moments behind some huge and powerful waterfalls. Hike: 2.0 mile, out & back (different exit), ~1hr 30mins, 662 elevation gain. This volcano hike is as bad ass as it gets. You can take the long route or the short route, and you won't believe your eyes.
After our longest run, we head to Selijavallalaug for some geothermal pool action, you better believe we're bringing the music and dranks - you deserve it after todays run! Dinner and theme party is at our basecamp!
BLACK SAND BEACH
Wake-up early, do some partner yoga, laugh, have a big breakfast before we take our off road bus drive through rivers and mountains to Vik! We'll visit the Black Sand Beach, explore town, Smiôjan Brugghús (brewery) and an optional hill run. Oh, and surprise we're doing a Game of Thrones costume party in the town of Vik!
Dinner and drinks at home!
BLUE LAGOON + REYKJAVIK
We'll check out of our basecamp at 9am and go straight to Blue Lagoon to rest and recover after running through all those endless waterfalls. Later we'll all head into Reykjavik to our final home base, settle in and hit the town hard for all it's got, including the capital's famous hot dog stand!
BACK TO REALITY
We will be checking out before 11am and making our way back to the airport. Transportation to the airport is not provided but we will be grouping people together based on departure times to make things easiest.
Until next time… or until we all see each other at the next party because this friendship just started!
