An adventure like no other.
Attendees from offices around the world were brought together for a team building retreat designed to inspire and motivate. Each member was encouraged to draw on the strength and experience of their associates, pushing themselves and their teams to achieve new heights in their given field.
Top Challenge:
With a love of competition and the excitement of an offsite hosted in a country known for adventure, our client was searching for a weekend that would make attendees say, "Of course, only in...could this happen!" When presenting activities and excursion options, the question was "Why can't we do it all?". So we did.
Our Solution:
Working closely with our local vendors and guides, we created the "Iceland in a Day" experience. Nothing was left out as an already rigorous itinerary was taken to the next level. With numerous miles spanning the distance between activities, we chartered private helicopters to transport attendees from Langjökull Glacier to the Hvammsvík Hot Springs to the closing dinner at Aurora Basecamp. The adrenaline was kept at full throttle from dawn until dusk with no shortage of friendly competition and sportsmanship.
