    Settle into the slow rhythm of life in Bakkagerdi, a charming village nestled in East Iceland’s remote beauty. Over six days, you’ll get to know the land and its legends like a true local — wandering coastal trails, relaxing in steaming geothermal pools, and meeting the quirky wildlife and warm-hearted residents that make this place so special. From turf-roofed cottages and seabird spotting to Icelandic cooking classes and tales of elven queens, this trip is all about connection — to the land, the locals, and a lifestyle that’s refreshingly simple.
