About the Experience
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!
You are 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.
You 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. You are 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 them at the trailhead.
Detailed Itinerary:
Day 1: Hit the Ground "Running"
SurfYogaBeer will find you at the airport (meet at KEF between 08:00 to 10:00) and right away head to some sweet spots along the way to the base camp.
The first stop is Skogafoss! This is where you will hike (3 to 4 hours) and jump in the hot springs to wash off afterward!
When you arrive at base camp in the late afternoon, you will shower, hot tub, and sauna, and have dinner at home. Dancing will be rampant, daylight will be plentiful, and the elves come out to play at night. Where this night takes you is your story, but this is just day 1.
Day 2: Hot Spring Run + Golden Circle
Wake-up calls, a morning boot camp, and a hearty breakfast await before you depart for Laugavegur for a majestic highlands trail, following secret natural hot springs.
You head back for evening yoga, happy hour, and a big group dinner in town!
Day 3: Chasing Waterfalls
Wake-up calls and breakfast begin the day, then you depart for Seljalandfoss and Gljufrabui for some sexy photo moments behind some huge and powerful waterfalls. Then you head to the start of the Skogafoss Waterfall trail run - this is of 5 miles to a bridge and 5 miles back, so definitely take in all that 'waterfall alley' has to offer!
After your longest run, you head to Selijavallalaug for some geothermal pool action, you better believe you are bringing the music and drinks - you deserve it after today's run! Dinner and theme party are at the base camp!
Day 4: Thorsmork
Wake up early, do some partner yoga, laugh, and have a big breakfast before you take the off-road bus drive through rivers and mountains to Thórsmörk! This volcano hike is as badass as it gets. You can take the long route or the short route, and you won't believe your eyes.
Dinner and drinks at home!
Day 5: Blue Lagoon + Reykjavik
You will check out of the base camp at 09:00 and go straight to Blue Lagoon to rest and recover after running through all those endless waterfalls.
Later you will all head into Reykjavik to the final home base, settle in, and hit the town hard for all it's got, including the capital's famous hot dog stand!
Day 6: Back To Reality
You will be checking out before 11:00 and making your way back to the airport. Transportation to the airport is not provided but they will be grouping people based on departure times to make things easier.
Until next time... or until you all see each other at the next party because this friendship just started!
Included excursions
Glaciers, Hot Springs, National Parks, and More
You will be experiencing all that Iceland has to offer. Following a tough run or hike, you will decompress in the natural hot springs, or you may wander around and see the glaciers that have led to the creation of these hot springs.
There are many places to visit, but don't worry; SurfYogaBeer got you. All experiences are paid for, except for the optional snorkeling experience - don't worry if you don't want to do it. They have other fun activities planned!
Pool Culture
Icelandic people are a public pool culture, and you're gonna experience that! After your epic adventurous days, you'll hit up either natural warm springs or the public outdoor pools and saunas! It is an experience itself so let's immerse yourselves.
Location
Hvolsvöllur, Southern Region
This program will take place in Hvolsvöllur which is in the municipality of Rangárþing eystra in the Southern Region of Iceland.
You start this adventure at Keflavík International Airport (KEF) between Keflavík and Reykjavík.
About the Location
Iceland is rich in natural beauty, the Krýsuvík Cliffs. Walk along the lava fields sprinkled with geothermal pools to see these cliffs that span for miles; this is also an excellent area to see the almost 60,000 birds that come to the cliffs to mate. But don't forget the stunning Seltún Geothermal Pools at the end of the cliffs.
Home to Thingvellir National Park is often the first stop on the Golden Circle. It is filled with stunning geological features, waterfalls, and ravines opened by tectonic movement filled with meltwater.
Nature's waterslides. Waterfalls are all over the country. Seljalandsfoss, a 60-meter drop waterfall, and Gljufrabui are two impressive waterfalls to hike around and explore. But you can't forget about Skogafoss, one of the country's largest waterfalls.
This area hosts the iconic Gullfoss Waterfall, famed for its beauty and size, as well as the Geysir Geothermal Area, which is a unique & rare phenomenon. Don't forget Kerid Crater, a volcanic crater lake - a newer volcanic eruption that makes its iron deposits unique!
Blue Lagoon is a geothermal spa in a lava field - a ca n't-miss spot to unwind. Nestled between two volcanoes, Sólheimajökull Glacier is an outlet glacier branching off from an ice sheet.
You can't forget about the stunning cities and towns of Iceland. Vik is a small seafront village sitting in the shadow of the Mýrdalsjökull glacier. On the shores of Vik is Reynisfjara, the only black sand beach in Iceland, formed from volcanic activity in the area.
This is one of the island's most iconic spots (you may even have the chance to see Puffins!). But on a larger scale, Reykjavík is the largest city, and the country's capital - known for its nightlife and vast history mainly focused on Vikings; this is a ca n't-miss spot!
