Get ready for the road trip of a lifetime! Following the massive success of our unforgettable 2024 tour, Teach Wanderlust is officially heading back to the Land of Fire and Ice from April 17–25, 2027—and this time, we’re opening the expedition to both boys and girls!   

Traveling Iceland by 4x4 campervan isn’t an ordinary school trip; it’s an immersive, hands-on masterclass in earth science, renewable energy, and outdoor living. From preparing group meals under Nordic skies to waking up alongside thundering waterfalls, it’s an unforgettable expedition that builds real-world confidence, teamwork, and global awareness.

🌟 What’s on the Itinerary?

We’re revisiting the very best highlights from our 2024 expedition, combining authentic outdoor adventure with real-world STEM education:

• Snorkeling Between Continents at Silfra: Don drysuits and float through the crystal-clear glacial fissure separating the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates in Thingvellir National Park.

• Cutting-Edge Geothermal & Climate Tech: Tour active geothermal power plants and learn firsthand about groundbreaking carbon-capture innovations at the Carbfix reinjection sites.

• True Campervan Life: Travel across rugged fjords and scenic highways in fully outfitted 4x4 campervans, building self-reliance, teamwork, and daily responsibility.

• Recharging in Geothermal Springs: Soak in natural thermal baths and coastal springs, such as Hvammsvík, surrounded by stunning ocean mountain views.

• Volcanoes, Glaciers & Aurora: Trek across volcanic fields, explore lava tubes, walk black sand beaches, view massive glacier tongues, and watch for the Northern Lights!

🚐 How Campervan Sleeping & Chaperone Logistics Work

Safety and logistics go hand in hand on our road trips:

• Separate Sleeping Vans: Each campervan sleeps exactly 3 people, separated strictly by gender (3 girls per van or 3 boys per van). Adult chaperones drive the vehicles by day and sleep in their own separate adult van at night.

• Why Expansion Requires Exactly 6 Additional Students: To safely expand our caravan, adding 6 more students requires adding 3 total vans (2 vans to sleep the 6 students, plus 1 van dedicated to the adult chaperones) along with 3 qualified adult drivers.

• Current Availability:

  • 2 Male Spots Remaining

  • 2 Female Spots Remaining

• The 6-Traveler Expansion Roster: Because bringing on 3 additional vans and 3 adult drivers is a major operational commitment, opening up expanded spots is strictly dependent on a guaranteed group of 6 additional students (either 3 boys and 3 girls, or 6 of the same gender to match our 3-student van layout).

💰 Expedition Tuition: $4,600 All-Inclusive

Our tuition reflects an extraordinary 2:1 student-to-chaperone ratio, ensuring continuous supervision, personalized mentorship, and comprehensive safety on sub-Arctic roads.

What’s Included:

• Complete Travel & Transport: Round-trip direct flights from Denver (DEN ⇄ KEF), 4x4 campervan rentals with complete zero-excess gravel, sand, and wind insurance, vehicle fuel, and campsite fees.

• Two Meals Provided Daily: Hearty group camp breakfasts and warm group dinners cooked together at camp. (To keep road days flexible and accommodate individual appetites, students bring their own lightweight camping/freeze-dried meals and snacks for daily lunches).

• Core STEM Fieldwork & Adventures: Silfra tectonic drysuit snorkeling, Carbfix carbon-capture facility tour, and natural geothermal springs admission.

• Built-In Emergency & Activity Cushion: A dedicated group buffer to absorb severe weather route contingencies, backup indoor accommodations if required by storms, and group-voted route enhancements without surprise invoices.

• A Collaborative Journey: Every applicant shares their top "bucket-list" item on the application. During pre-departure meetings, our cohort collaborates to weave top student interests into our route, with specialized individual excursions offered as optional add-ons so everyone gets their dream trip!
