High altitude zone unpatrolled – you ski at your own risk

GoBeyond Stories Adventure Iceland

If you don’t like the weather, wait a few minutes!

Once you understand that all you need for a really good adventure, apart from the essentials, is flexibility, you can feel at home in any campervan, wherever you are in the world. Even if it means braving gale-force winds and torrential rain. Iceland is the place to step out of your comfort zone.

Raw sea urchin as an afternoon snack? Why not!

Shared meals have an essential community-building aspect. Especially when it is preceded by cooking together: as well as being the most cost-effective option, it has become one of our favourite team-building activities for trips and retreats over the years.
