About this trip

If Iceland has been sitting on your “someday” list… this is your sign.


Into the Wild: Iceland South Coast Adventure is a 6-day, winter-magic experience designed for travelers who want dramatic landscapes, geothermal relaxation, glacier hikes, and Northern Lights — without having to plan a single detail.


We’re going in February — prime season for icy waterfalls, moody black sand beaches, fewer crowds, and the best chance to see the Aurora dancing across the sky.


This is Iceland at its most raw and powerful.


We’ll soak in geothermal lagoons, hike a glacier with a local guide, chase waterfalls you can walk behind, stand at the edge of volcanic craters, and explore Iceland’s most iconic landscapes along the South Coast.

Trip Highlights

✨ The famous Golden Circle — Strokkur Geyser erupting before your eyes, the roaring power of Gullfoss, and the unreal blue waters of Brúarfoss

✨ A peaceful soak at Sky Lagoon and the historic Secret Lagoon

✨ Walking behind Seljalandsfoss and discovering the hidden canyon waterfall Gljúfrabúi

✨ Standing in awe at Skógafoss and the dramatic cliffs of Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach

✨ A guided glacier hike on Sólheimajökull

✨ Kerið Crater’s striking volcanic colors

✨ Diamond Beach — where crystal-clear ice chunks wash up on jet-black sand (yes, it’s as unreal as it sounds)


✨ A Northern Lights tour under the Arctic sky

✨ Free time to explore Reykjavik’s cafés, shops, and vibrant streets

About your organizer

Hi, I’m Katie! I’m a Registered Nurse turned travel host who believes life is too short to wait for “someday.” After 20 years in the ER and raising three amazing kids, I realized I wanted more than living for vacations. I wanted a life filled with adventure, purpose, and experiences worth remembering. Since hosting my first group trip in 2018, I’ve had the privilege of helping travelers explore the world through thoughtfully designed group adventures that bring people together. Today, my husband Wade and I travel the world while I continue leading unforgettable trips across Europe, Africa, and beyond. Whether you join solo or with a travel companion, my goal is to help you travel with confidence, build meaningful connections, and create memories that last a lifetime.

Life is short. Take the trip. ✈️
