Iceland Adventure: Yoga, Nature and Creativity
July 24-30, 2027
with Melina Meza
Come with me on a NEW Iceland adventure as we venture beyond the familiar and into the wild, otherworldly beauty of Iceland’s Highlands.
This intimate journey blends hiking, (e-bike option), geothermal waters, photography, yoga, and meaningful time in nature, with two unforgettable nights at the luxurious Highland Base in Kerlingarfjöll as our centerpiece.
From colorful geothermal landscapes and the Hveradalir hike to South Coast waterfalls, black sand beaches, hidden hot springs, and peaceful moments of soaking and reflection, each day offers a chance to explore at your own pace. We’ll balance adventure with comfort, discovery with downtime, and plenty of opportunities to slow down, notice, photograph, and simply take in the extraordinary beauty of Iceland.
ITINERARY, DAYS 1-4
Day 1 (Saturday): Arrive in Reykjavík and begin your Iceland adventure by exploring the many charms of this vibrant and creative city. If you’re arriving early, I will provide a few suggested itineraries and favorite places to explore. Dinner included.
Day 2 (Sunday): Today we head into the wild and otherworldly landscape of Iceland’s Highlands! We’ll make a few scenic stops along the way, enjoy lunch at Gullfoss Café, and then continue deeper into this extraordinary landscape. Upon arrival, we’ll have the afternoon to hike, explore, and soak in the Highland Baths. Settle into our luxurious Highland Base accommodations before gathering for a delicious dinner together.
Day 3 (Monday): After breakfast, we’ll begin the day with yoga surrounded by nature before heading out to fully immerse ourselves in the extraordinary landscape of the Highlands. Spend the day exploring at your own pace or with the group—hike through the surreal geothermal landscape of Hveradalir, take a bike ride, soak in the warm waters, photograph the ever-changing scenery, or simply relax beside the river and take it all in. Multiple hiking options will be available, allowing you to choose the experience that feels right for you. A packed lunch and special three-course dinner are included.
Day 4 (Tuesday): Breakfast and yoga practice beside the river before saying goodbye to the Highlands! We’ll make our way back toward the Golden Circle, stopping for lunch at Friðheimar (lunch included). Afternoon soak at Laugarás Lagoon, explore Kerið Crater and check into hotel.
ITINERARY, DAYS 5-8
Day 5 (Wednesday): After breakfast and morning yoga, we’ll head south for a full day of sightseeing, hiking, and exploring some of Iceland’s most dramatic coastal landscapes. Our main hike will take us above Skógafoss, where we’ll climb beyond the famous waterfall and into the beautiful scenery beyond. We’ll continue to Dyrhólaey to see puffins and taking in sweeping views of the coastline, black sand beaches, sea stacks, and other iconic South Coast landscapes around Vík.
Day 6 (Thursday):
After breakfast and morning yoga, we’ll venture into the Hveragerði area for a final hike through Iceland’s beautiful geothermal landscape. Enjoy the opportunity to walk, explore, photography and soak in nature along the way, with options to make the experience as active or leisurely as you like.
The afternoon will be yours to relax, explore, or simply enjoy some well-deserved leisure time at the hotel. We’ll come together in the evening for a special farewell dinner.
