About this trip
An Iceland adventure to ring in the new year! Iceland in the winter is one of the most unique environments in the world and the perfect place for our New Year’s Eve adventure. This trip is made for outdoor enthusiasts who not only like to dive head-first into outdoor adventures but who also want to be immersed in a foreign culture. Each activity you can (or cannot) find yourself doing is a hand-picked, one-of-a-kind experience only Iceland can offer.
Untitled Paragraph
Most people choose to visit Iceland in winter because of the high chance of seeing the Northern Lights. That’s not all we’re going there for. We plan on seeing the glacier lagoon, taking you on a glacier hike, bathing in the blue lagoon, potentially seeing the flowing lava of the active volcano, and of course exploring the city streets.

Overall it was a great trip. The islands were so beautiful and I loved the activities and people. However, there were some significant lapses in communication and logistical planning that at times put a damper on things. For example, being told to be ready to go at a specific time and leaving 45 mins to an hour later, which caused us to run behind schedule. This led us to have hardly any free or getting ready time and it felt disrespectful to people who put in effort to be on time and then still be so delayed. I also wish there was better communication about changes in the daily itinerary. I understand that things change unexpectedly and we have to be adaptable, but there should be clear communication about it. I felt like every time I asked a trip leader a question about the itinerary or things we needed, I got only partial information and it varied from person to person. For example, being told at the start of the first hike that it was going to be an hour and not strenuous, then it ended up being a fairly strenuous 3 hour hike. Finally, being more up front about additional costs such as meals, the hot springs, and only finding out the morning of the Pico flight that we needed to arrange our own taxis to the airport. These critiques are meant to be constructive. I still had an amazing time and got to experience some once in a lifetime things. Hopefully you are able to enact some of these changes for the next trip to have it run a little bit smoother. Thanks again for a great week!

We had a great time with wonderful people, delicious food and comfortable accommodations. My most entertaining experience was the Big John’s Texas barbecue impromptu performance by Jesse and Iliana (one of the most hilarious live acts I’ve ever seen). My favorite visual experience was the Antelope Slot Canyon experience (so beautiful). The most heart racing experience was the canyoneering and repelling. I never thought in a billion years that I would be pulling such a crazy stunt, but I did with the help of my new chosen family. Love you guys and hopefully see you on the next adventure!!!

I met some wonderful people that I wouldn’t mind keeping in touch with. I love being outside in nature and this trip provided maximum opportunity to do so; Zion is stunning. The schedule was adequately filled with things to do and see. The trip is perfect for those who may not have traveling partners but possess an open mind, open heart, and are willing to meet/interact with new people.

The activities were amazing. For me, biking though Zion park (highly recommend the e-bike option!) and cayoneering (less scary than imagined) were the stand outs. The people were awesome. A lot of 30-somethings, but ages ranged from 20s-60s and we all got along great. That said, poor communication, organization, and value for cost, make this trip difficult to recommend. Hotels were different than advertised. Be aware it's a 25 min drive from the hotel to Zion, and there are no taxi or Uber/rideshare services available in the Springdale area. Some refinement of the logistics and more professional and proactive communication from the organizers would make this a great trip.
