Escape into a wellness retreat in the Golden Circle, where guided meditation, sound healing, and Reiki sessions unfold across a full day in the Icelandic countryside. This soul-soothing day trip is ideal for couples, solo travelers, and small groups seeking deep relaxation, spiritual connection, and a break from the crowds of typical Golden Circle sightseeing tours.
This 12.5-hour retreat in Iceland means a full, restorative day away from the noise of modern life. Three home-cooked meals, guided energy healing sessions, and transportation within the Golden Circle area are included in the tour price.
The day begins in the morning at a peaceful country cabin in Langamyri, a short drive from Selfoss in South Iceland. Guests can arrange pickup from Reykjavik hotels for an additional fee, or make their own way to the retreat center to start the morning with a light breakfast and snacks.
Once settled in, a vocal chakra tuning session awakens the body and voice, using resonant tones to release tension held in the throat and chest. A guided healing meditation follows, layered with live sound healing from crystal bowls and gentle percussion that help slow the breath and settle a busy mind.
These practices draw on ancient sound therapy traditions that use vibration to shift both mood and energy. No prior experience with meditation or sound healing is required to take part. By midday, the group sits down to a relaxed lunch at a nearby local restaurant, refueling before the afternoon’s excursion.
In the early afternoon, the retreat continues with a sightseeing excursion to the Kerid Volcanic Crater, one of the most photographed sites on the Golden Circle route. Formed by a collapsed volcanic cone roughly 6,500 years ago, the crater holds a shallow, mineral-rich lake ringed by red and black volcanic rock. It's best viewed from the short walking path along its rim.
The group also stops near Solheimar Ecovillage, one of Iceland’s earliest sustainable communities. Under favorable conditions, there may also be time to visit the Golden Circle highlights, including Gullfoss Waterfall or Geysir Geothermal Area.
Then it's back to another retreat experience for a sacred sound and Reiki healing session that taps into the surrounding landscape’s natural energy ahead of an evening meal.
As night falls, the group gathers for a fire ceremony with cacao, followed by a drum circle and kirtan music session that carries the day’s energy into quiet reflection and journaling.
Vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, and other dietary needs are accommodated on request, and every session is guided by experienced local healers who keep the group’s comfort and safety a priority. The retreat wraps up around 22:00 (10 PM) back at the Langamyri Cabin.
