Some trips take you away. This one brings you back.
To yourself. To nature. To something ancient and true.
Join Girl Gone International's founder Anne Scott on a trip to the island she spent her childhood summers.
This will be a soul-stirring adventure to the remote Hebridean island of Iona - a place of pilgrimage, peace, and breathtaking wild beauty. For centuries, women have come here to reflect, reconnect and rediscover themselves. Now it’s your turn.
🌀 Whether you’re coming to rest or to quest, you’ll find space to slow down, breathe deeply, and follow your own rhythm.
✨ Highlights include:
🚂 Iconic West Highland train ride through the Scottish countryside
🛶 Ferry crossings and sea journeys through island landscapes
🔥 Evenings around the fire with new GGI friends
🦅 Boat trip to Staffa & Fingal’s Cave (puffin-spotting optional!)
🌊 Sea swims, hill walks & starry skies
🧭 Optional personal Quest journal to guide quiet reflection
🌿 Pilgrimage walk across Iona, one of Europe’s oldest sacred paths
You’ll stay in cosy wooden cabins overlooking the sea, cook together over open flame, and fall asleep to the sound of waves and wind - not traffic and timelines.
Includes:
4 nights in our Wee Wooden Houses on Iona (glamping)
All trains, ferries, and island transport from Glasgow
Welcome dinner & community meals
Staffa boat trip
Custom GGI Quest journal
Local GGI host (Anne Scott, founder of Girl Gone International) and some Scottish local icons!
🛏 Choose between solo, twin, or solo ensuite cabins
🌍 You can also combine this trip with our Cities, Castles & Culture trip from 29 August – 1 September for the full GGI Scotland experience.
Only a few spaces remain.
Come exactly as you are, and leave with clarity, calm, and a circle of kindred new friends.
