Travel info:

What airport do I fly in to?

Reykjavik, Iceland (KEF), KEF stands for Keflavik which is about 30 minutes south of Reykjavik

PRE-Retreat July 15th! Most flights arrive in the morning so you have the day to get over jet lag by walking around Reykjavik, going for a swim, and then meet in Reykjavik to go to the Sky Lagoon at 4 pm
Plan to arrive in on July 14th or earlier to get over jet lag and go to Golden Circle if you would like. 

July 16th: 9:00 am: Pick up at the City Center in Reykjavik
July 23rd: We will be ending our retreat in snæfellsnes peninsula. We will head to the Blue Lagoon and arrive by 10 am and leave by 12:30.

 You will fly into Kelflavik International Airport KEF. Please arrange to arrive on the 15th in the morning. You can walk around that day and go to the Sky Lagoon at 4pm (price not included).  

The retreat will formally begin on JULY 16th at 9:00 am, we will leave at 9 am for either our hike to Glymur on the way to our guesthouse, or we may go right to Hvammsvik Hot Spring and then on to our horses.

There is a shuttle service that runs to and from the airport to most hotels and guesthouses at a cost of ~$39 one way. You can book online here: www.re.is/flybus. If you don’t see your hotel you will need to contact your hotel and ask them if they can assist you in finding the nearest drop location.

Departure: 

We will be heading back to Reykjavik and you can either stay another day to explore or go to the Blue Lagoon. The shuttle from Reykjavik to the Blue Lagoon is $40 per person.

We return to the airport on July 23rd and plan to go to the Blue Lagoon on our way to the airport. This is a great way to get you relaxed and ready to fly home.

Travel Insurance

We highly recommend purchasing travel insurance to protect your investment in case unforeseen circumstances prevent you from attending or completing the retreat.

Travel insurance is particularly important in the event you:

  • Need to cancel due to illness or injury (including testing positive for COVID-19).

  • Require medical care during the retreat.

  • Face trip interruptions, delays, or unexpected quarantine requirements.

We suggest a policy that covers:

  • Trip cancellation and interruption

  • Medical expenses

  • Quarantine costs

For maximum flexibility, consider a “Cancel For Any Reason” (CFAR) policy, which provides additional peace of mind. While this type of coverage is more expensive, it offers the most protection for unforeseen changes.

To compare and purchase travel insurance, we recommend using Squaremouth, a trusted platform to find the best policy for your needs.https://www.squaremouth.com/22393

Before purchasing any policy, consult a travel insurance agent to ensure it meets your coverage expectations.
