About this trip

Dreams do come true!! Seven days/six nights to explore Iceland's world of nature and culture. We'll adventure off the beaten path to volcanic mountains, expansive glaciers, waterfalls, hot springs, and much more! 


Our first night is in Reykjavik, and then Midgard Adventure (our guides for the week) greet us in the city to begin our adventure toward the south coast. We stay at Midgard Base Camp (located in Hvolsvöllur), a unique, cozy, family-owned, and operated hotel for the week. It's a hip place full of friendly people. 


Each day is a unique experience that Midgard Adventure has curated. It includes a guided day hike in Landmannalaugar, a Super Jeep tour, dinner at a local home, a local mountain hike, an ice walk on a glacier, the forest and a bonfire, a bath in the Blue Lagoon, and a few more secrets. 


We'll be in the quiet countryside with hills, mountains, waterfalls, and other natural wonders you’ve never seen before. Your jaw will drop! 


We return to our base camp each night to relax, dine at the delicious Midgard restaurant, and chill out in the lounge or rooftop sauna/hot tub. 


Midgard Base Camp says, "We treat our guests as family, and when you leave, we want you to feel part of the extended Midgard family." 


The activity level for this trip is moderate. There is one full day of hiking and at least two other short hikes. Please be comfortable hiking at least 5 miles on uneven terrain with some elevation gain. On other days, be comfortable with lots of walking. 


I can't wait for you to join me!

I am a four season peak bagger in New Hampshire, Vermont and Maine. I am exploring the Adirondacks of New York as well as Colorado 14'ers. My longest backpacking trip was 18 days on the John Muir Trail with a grand finale hiking Mt. Whitney! I am a Certified Health Coach and yoga instructor leading people to uplevel their health and reinvent themself. I am the most content outside hiking with my friends. I enjoy staying active through yoga, biking, x-country skiing and cooking seasonal plant based food.

I had an amazing time on this retreat led by Nancy and Cynthia! A beautiful setting, delicious meals, fireside conversation at night, fun activities including yoga, dancing, Thai partner massage, meditation and hiking. I learned more about Ayurveda and living a healthy life. This was a wonderful group of women coming together to connect and enjoy time away. I can’t wait to be part of this again! Thank you!

The Self-Care retreat was a wonderful getaway. Setu is a beautiful setting, and a lovely home away from home run by a devoted couple. Nancy and Cynthia lead a well-balanced retreat that included meditation, yoga, a choice of hikes, shared meals, optional massages, and 'me time.' Everything was considered optional, so each person could choose their own pace. It was nice to meet a great group of women and have a chance to chat and get to know one another, but also have time to settle in a quiet corner to read or relax. This was my second trip lead by Nancy, and it was as great as the first.
