About this experience

The self-guided retreat is for those who are seeking to retire from the world for a while, stay in silence, meditate, get in deep contact with nature including your own nature.

An individual retreat, especially in a powerful natural environment,
is a unique opportunity for deep personal transformation.

Some nurture themselves by walking in nature, sleeping, meditating, journal writing, reflecting, sitting by the riverside, or gazing over the ocean. Others with training in a particular meditative tradition use this time to deepen their practice. Creative writing, drawing, playing music, or working with dreams — the possibilities abound.

Ideally a retreat brings fresh energy and inspiration for your regular spiritual practice at home.
New perspectives, qualities and possibilities may unfold in your life.

Where you go

Self guided retreat

Not included

Because we want this to be your experience fully we did not ad any meals to this offer. Maybe you want to sleep in and just have dinner with us, or maybe you like to have breakfast but prepare your dinner.

Meals of choice can be added before check out or ordered upon arrival.

Note that from September through May our restaurant is not open. Winter stays are always self-cooking stays.

Good to know

Take care to bring warm clothes so you can spend time outside. Iceland's temperatures are very refreshing.

We recommend you keep a journal on you to write down your experiences.

A standard retreat lasts 7 days, but you are free to choose a shorter or longer stay. We will adapt to your needs. After all, your retreat is all about you. Please send an inquiry to info@ytralon.is if you like to explore other possibilities.

We recommend using domestic flights to travel here:

With Icelandair from Reykjavík to Akureyri: www.icelandair.is

With Norlandair from Akureyri to Þórshöfn: www.norlandair.is

Cancellation for this tour

Free cancellation until departure. If the operator cancels for weather or safety, you get a full refund or a new date.

Why this one and not the cheaper one?

The nearest cheaper Reykjavík Luggage Storage in BSI Bus Terminal from BagBee is €12 — €1073 less. Here is every difference we can actually measure.

Changing your mind	Free until departure	Free until 2 h before

On everything we can measure, the BagBee tour is the better buy. The €1073 is not buying anything we can point to, so unless you want this operator in particular, take the cheaper one.

Multi-day packages — questions people ask

Are multi-day tours in Iceland worth it compared to day trips?

For the southeast, yes. Jökulsárlón and the ice caves are five hours from Reykjavík, so a day trip is fourteen hours of mostly bus. A two- or three-day tour (/experience/6131/, /experience/923386/) sleeps out there, sees the lagoon at a sane hour and adds an ice cave in winter. For the Golden Circle and South Coast alone, day trips are fine. Multi-day tours cost more per day but include the hotel.

What is included in a multi-day tour?

Transport in a minibus with a driver-guide, accommodation with breakfast, all the listed activities such as glacier hikes and ice caves, and the entrance fees on the route. Lunches and dinners are usually not included; you stop at guesthouses and cafes and pay your own way. Single travellers pay a supplement for their own room. Check the tour page for exact inclusions, the hotel standard and luggage limits, which are tight on small buses.

How many days do you need for the Ring Road on a tour?

Six to eight. Six-day tours (/experience/785082/, /experience/876949/) get round with one night in most regions and long driving days. Seven and eight days (/experience/20483/, /experience/33665/) add the highlands or Snæfellsnes and give more time out of the bus. Anything shorter than six is not a Ring Road tour. Summer versions have the highland detours; winter versions swap them for ice caves and shorter daylight.

Should I arrive in Iceland the day before a multi-day tour starts?

Yes. Multi-day tours leave Reykjavík between 08:00 and 09:00 and do not wait for delayed flights. Land the day before, sleep in the city, and start fresh. On the other end, tours arrive back in Reykjavík in the evening, so do not book a flight home the same night. In the planner, put arrival on day one, the tour from day two, and leave the last day for the flight.
