⭐ Iceland Travel Review — A Trip I Will Never Forget My time in Iceland is something I’ll carry with me for years. I expected beautiful landscapes and chilly weather, but what I found was so much deeper — a culture that feels peaceful and caring, food that warms the soul, unforgettable experiences, and people who became family. Where We Stayed Our apartments were modern, clean, full of light, and perfectly comfortable — the kind of place you look forward to returning to at the end of a long, adventure-filled day. They were close to everything we needed, surrounded by city charm and snow-covered stillness. Simple, cozy, and perfect. The Culture Icelanders live with intention — calm, respectful, connected to nature, and quietly joyful. Their pace of life slows you down in the best way. There’s no rush, no noise — just presence. People are kind, helpful, and genuine, and the country itself carries a sense of balance most places never achieve. Experiences & Adventures Instead of racing through tourist spots, we lived Iceland. One geothermal pool turned into three — each one different, each warm enough to forget the cold air against your face. The steam rising off the water felt like breathing in relaxation itself. Those moments were grounding, refreshing, and something I didn’t know I needed. Horseback riding across the landscape was unforgettable — Icelandic horses are small, powerful, and gentle, and riding through open scenery with that cold air in your lungs made me feel alive in a way that is hard to put into words. Shopping was its own adventure — sweaters, art, handmade goods, and little treasures you can’t find anywhere else. Iceland has a unique style; everything feels intentional, crafted, and meaningful. And of course — yoga. Moving, stretching, breathing in a foreign place… it hits differently. The body feels stronger, the mind quieter. Practicing yoga in Iceland felt like connecting the world outside with the world inside. It’s the kind of thing that changes you a little. The People — My Favorite Part The best part of the entire trip? The humans. We shared meals, laughs, conversations, and adventures — becoming closer each day. We arrived as travelers but left as friends. The most beautiful part of travel is not the itinerary — it’s the connection, the shared memories, the comfort of knowing we experienced something special together. Final Reflection Iceland was more than a destination — it was a reset. A reminder to breathe. To be present. To enjoy people. To step into adventure. To soak, to laugh, to move, to live. If you ever have the chance to go — don’t hesitate. Let Iceland open you, soften you, ground you. It truly is magic.

We had a wonderful time and met so many great people and wonderful laughs!!! Our tour guide, Leo was great! He really did a fantastic job with showing us so many different things and was so easy going! This was definitely a bucket list and hopefully more to come!

Incredible! Iceland -- The Land of Fire & Ice is a must see! We checked off all the placed and things we wanted to see, and our guide Leo was fantastic and made things a lot of fun! There was a great balance of scheduled time vs free time so we could plan things on our own too. The food was delicious and the groups of travelers made the trip unforgettable. B&B did a great job of offering a meet & greet so everyone could get to know each other beforehand, and we had communication throughout the week so we knew where to be and what to bring each day! Highly recommend taking the next adventure with this group!

This was my first retreat with Breathe & Bend and it did not disappoint! Iceland was a bucket list destination for me, and it lived up to the hype! This retreat had the perfect mix of scheduled activities and free time for shopping, exploring or signing up for add-on excursions! Not only did I make wonderful memories, but I got to share them with the new friends I made! This will not be my last retreat! Thank you, Trenna for amazing adventures!

This trip is hard to put into words! Everything was perfect - the food, the adventures, the yoga, the company, the tour guide and even the weather! The trip was well organized and we always knew what to expect the next day and how to be prepared. It definitely will be one of my favs of all time!
