Iceland | Waterfalls, Sagas & Soaking: A Women’s Road Trip Through Iceland’s North and West
Tour Sponsor: Shasta Nelson’s TravelCircles
Join us for this women’s TravelCircle in Iceland, hosted by J’Leen Saeger!
We begin with three nights in Reykjavík to settle in, recover from travel, and immerse ourselves in Iceland’s culture, history, food, and women’s leadership—no rushing, just grounding. From there, we fly north to Akureyri, where our road trip truly begins as we make our way through Mývatn, the northern coast, and the west of Iceland, traveling at a relaxed pace and experiencing volcanic landscapes, fjords, waterfalls, wildlife, and remote hot springs. Each stop builds on the last as we move intentionally around the island. We then return to Reykjavík for our final three nights, giving us time to experience the Golden Circle, geothermal energy, coastal hot springs, nightlife, and a meaningful closing circle—ending the journey feeling restored, connected, and complete.
This 11-day, 10-night journey begins and ends in Reykjavík, with round-trip flights through Keflavík International Airport (KEF).
