My child had an amazing trip

My child had an amazing trip. She learned much about Iceland and the people who call it home. I asked her how this trip has changed her and she stated that she has become more environmentally aware and the natural landscape is something she will not ever forget. The bond that she formed with the other students on the trip was incredible. I think that she will keep in touch with many.

Most amazing experience of my life

Going to Iceland with GoBeyond was the most amazing experience of my life. I met the greatest people in my group and went on so many adventures. The whole trip was planned perfectly and I have never had so much fun! There was truly time for everything we wanted to see. We saw waterfalls, craters, the golden circle, the blue lagoon, we hiked, and saw many little places during our drives. Even our 8 hour car rides were fun because our group always had something to talk about. Staff would always hook us up with riddles and fun jokes as well. Everything was amazing!!!

The trip was one of the best experiences

The trip was one of the best experiences I have had and helped me gain a lot of new friends. All of the accommodations were excellent with comfortable beds and clean restrooms. The service projects were all fun and it felt like our work was affecting people's lives. All of the food was delicious and regardless of what I ordered I would enjoy it.
