      The March 2024 Hot Springs and Wellness Retreat to Iceland was amazing. GreenEdventures ran this winter trip; it was a quieter and cozy side of Iceland with a mix of small local lodging and restaurants and larger places as well. The volcanic landscape and the sea and fjords were beautiful. We swam outside natural pools and spas every day while we experienced the winter serenity, and sometimes her fury. The spa time also gave us a chance to interact with Icelanders. And our daily meditation and reflection provided personal insights. The pre-trip information, including gear, was complete and timely and GreenEdventures readily answered any question. This was my second GreenEdventures trip and I would not hesitate to book another. Trips are varied: women only like this one, mixed group, school age, and private tours. Tara Short (the owner/trip leader) researches the local guide(s) and has excellent relationships with them. That is one of the outstanding aspects of her trips and her company. She also gets to know each of the travelers on her trips. Most of the women on this trip had traveled with GreenEdventures previously. https://greenedventures.wetravel.com/trips/iceland-2024-spring-equinox-hot-springs-mindfulness-retreat-green-edventures-eco-tours-safaris-akureyri-14105617

      I had a wonderful time, trip of a life time for me! While I was the youngest guest, I felt so welcomed by all the women and the team! I am a little biased as my cousin (Kristen) assisted in leading the trip but Chabelo and Michelle were great! I enjoyed getting to know them and learn from them! Overall, a trip I would 100% do again!

      I’ve been on multiple trips with GE and this one was something special! If you are looking for mindfulness and magic with the backdrop of stunning Iceland, put this one your list! In addition to snowshoeing, and exploring towns and beaches, with the support of Tara and our fabulous local guide, Inga, we were even able to take a swim in the Artic ocean!

      The Baja trip was amazing in every aspect! The guides impressed me with their dept of knowledge, attention to detail, and kindness. Snorkeling with sea lions and whale sharks is an experience I will never forget. My co-adventurers were enthusiastic and I made some life longfriends. I will sign up for this trip again!

      I went on an amazing trip with Tara to Baja, Mexico in 2020. This was a dream trip for me being a wildlife lover. It was incredible to be able to swim with whale sharks and sea lions and get up close with gray whales. Camping on the beach was amazing. We had a great group of women and everyone vibed well and all of the tour guides including Tara, Alex and Chabello were so fun, friendly and helpful every step of the way. The food was great at the campsite and at the restaurants we got to try. When our trip plans initially got derailed waiting on a negative Covid test and we had to get a different flight, Tara did everything in her power to accommodate us and make sure we got to enjoy every part of the trip, including setting us up with another whale shark swimming tour after we had missed the initial one with the group, and she spent time waiting for us to finish before leaving for the airport. I definitely recommend Green Edventures, especially the Baja Mexico trip!

      I just returned from the Wisconsin Women's Tour and couldn't have asked for a better trip! For me, the amount and type of activity were perfect. Who know there was so much to discover practically in my own backyard?
