2. Grab your drink of choice and join us for an hour to talk story and travel.
3. You can recommend books you think we should read next.
4. Please think of ONE question about the book for the group.
5. Please read the book...or at least 1/2 of it!

WILD ICELAND

Embrace your inner Norse goddess as you chase waterfalls, soak in hot springs, and hunt for the hypnotic shimmer of the Aurora Borealis (northern lights) in dark skies.

Fill your days with beauty, adventure, and camaraderie on this 7-day women’s multisport journey to the land of fire and ice.

Iceland may be small - less than 400,000 inhabitants - but the terrain is mighty.

• In daylight hours, you’ll take in the raw power of Iceland’s many waterfalls, including Gulfoss and Seljalandsfoss.
• You’ll also stop for historical interludes at Thingvellir National Park in the Golden Circle and the Caves of Hella.
• If atmospheric conditions are right, the Aurora Borealis will pop into view, shimmering in ethereal greens, golds, and reds in the night sky.

Are you packing your bags yet?

Our expert guides will take care of all the logistics so you can focus on connecting with nature, unwinding in thermal waters, and meeting new friends.
