Voices from the Trip
What past travellers said! Read more about what travellers said about the last Iceland trip in December 2025 here.
“I didn’t know what to expect and honestly felt nervous about travelling with people I’d never met. What surprised me most was how open and welcoming everyone was — there were no cliques, just warmth and laughter. Sharing Iceland with women from different countries made it even more special. It exceeded every expectation and felt truly unforgettable.”
“I’ve always travelled solo and wasn’t sure a group trip would be my thing. What I didn’t expect was how quickly strangers became friends, and how much richer the experience felt sharing Iceland together. We were all at different stages of life, yet deeply connected. I left with incredible memories and friendships I know will last.”
“I was really nervous before coming because I have travel anxiety and wasn’t sure group travel was for me. But the trip felt calm, supportive, and so well designed that I could actually relax and enjoy every day. Iceland was magical, but being surrounded by women who genuinely looked out for each other is what changed everything for me.”
