Recce club / Iceland

Every year we explore somewhere new before it becomes a Sidetracked trip. We spend days hiking trails, meeting local guides, testing accommodation and asking one simple question...

Would we bring our community here?

This year, we're heading to Iceland.

Rather than scouting it alone, we're inviting a small group to join us on the journey.

What is a Recce club trip?

A Recce Club trip is part adventure, part research expedition.

We'll spend our days exploring some of Iceland's most spectacular landscapes, testing hikes, discovering hidden gems and figuring out what could become our newest Sidetracked adventure.

You'll have the chance to shape the trip with us by sharing ideas, giving feedback and helping us create something truly special.

What to expect

  • A one-off Iceland adventure

  • Incredible hiking and unforgettable landscapes

  • A relaxed, flexible itinerary

  • A small group of like-minded adventurers

  • Behind-the-scenes insight into how we build our trips

  • The chance to influence a future Sidetracked adventure

Who’s it for?

This trip is perfect for people who love exploring somewhere new and don't mind a little flexibility along the way.

Rather than following a polished itinerary, you'll be part of the process, embracing spontaneous detours, trying new ideas and helping us discover what works best.

If that sounds exciting, you'll fit right in.
