Fitness:In this special adventure-focused Ketanga retreat, we will enjoy a handful of workouts including a mix of bodyweight strength training, mobility work, and mindful stretching. Whether you're new to fitness or a seasoned athlete, you'll challenge your body in a safe, energizing environment.
Special (optional) add-on! Interested in getting involved in an active local tradition? We'll be in town for the annual Reykjavik marathon, so you have the (totally optional) opportunity to sign up and join the 1.7K or 3K fun run/walk, 10K or half marathon! |

Adventure:This retreat is designed to showcase both Iceland’s iconic landmarks and its hidden gems. One highlight is a kayaking and hiking adventure that ends with the ultimate reward—a relaxing soak in a naturally warm river after lunch. We’ll also spend a full day in Southern Iceland exploring waterfalls, including a secret hike to a hidden cascade, and wandering along dramatic coastlines.
Plus, for those who want to customize their adventure, optional add-ons like horseback riding on Icelandic horses or soaking in the Sky Lagoon are available. |
Relaxation:Throughout the retreat you will enjoy pockets of free time where you can explore the city, or perhaps pamper yourself with a massage or an extra excursion!
Of course, no trip to Iceland is complete without a rejuvenating geothermal experience, so we’ll make time for a special visit to the Blue Lagoon on our final day to truly relax before leaving the country. Interested in spending more time in Reykjavik? Let us know if you'd like to extend your stay when you book the retreat, and we'd be happy to reserve extra nights at a reduced rate. |

Testimonials
"I can’t express enough gratitude to Ketanga in this one review. My fitness retreat to Iceland exceeded all of my expectations. Joining a group as a solo traveler can feel scary, especially as a woman, but I felt welcomed, safe and cared for. Although I didn’t feel lonely, I didn’t feel overwhelmed by other travelers in the group either. We all became very good friends very quickly, but privacy and independent time was also respected. For once I didn’t have to research, email, arrange or book anything- it felt liberating. The workouts were amazing (fun, daily, and apt for all levels). I look forward to joining another retreat. YES, I would recommend Ketanga to all my friends." - Carolina R.
"My wife and I went on this retreat as the first (of hopefully many) empty nest adventures. Ketanga organized a fabulous get away... a great crew of fellow travelers who also wanted to start the day with an awesome workout, an outstanding local tour guide and balanced programming (full of activities but also enough down time). We highly recommend." - Varman S.
"This was my third fitness retreat with Ketanga and definitely one of the best! Great group of people and well-organized itinerary that gave us a great overview of this beautiful country. Our trainer led terrific morning classes and Reynir was an exceptional driver and tour guide. These small group trips are like sharing your vacation with strangers who end up being good friends with similar interests. Looking forward to exploring more destinations with Ketanga!" - Janet R.
