Your tour will start with an early morning departure from Reykjavik. We’ll hit the road for a scenic drive to Landmannalaugar, which takes about 3 to 4 hours, depending on the season. You’ll catch views of the South Coast along the way before entering the Highlands. From the passenger’s seat, you’ll see Iceland’s most active volcano, Hekla, cheerfully nicknamed “The Gateway to Hell.”
The starting location for the Laugavegur trek is Landmannalaugar. We’ll hike through Vondugil Canyon and Laugahraun Lava Field, whose barren features perfectly contrast the beautifully colorful rhyolite mountains and volcanoes like Brennisteinsalda. If the time allows, we’ll visit the Graenagil Gorge and Bláhnjúkur Volcano.
We’ll spend our first night at Landmannalaugar. In the evening, we’ll enjoy a delicious dinner, get to know each other better, and unwind in the trail’s only natural geothermal hot spring, an unforgettable experience surrounded by Iceland’s stunning highland beauty.
Distancia: 8 km (4,9 millas). Tiempo de caminata: 4-5 hrs. Ascenso: 470 m (1 540 pies).
The second day of our trek begins with a nourishing breakfast, leaving us energized and ready for the adventures ahead. The day starts with an ascent through small gorges, the Stórihver hot spring area, and striking yellow mountain ridges. The landscape soon shifts dramatically to the black obsidian desert of Hrafntinnusker, where we’ll pause to enjoy lunch amidst this unique terrain.
Desde Hrafntinnusker descendemos a los barrancos de Jökultungur, un paraíso geotérmico lleno de aguas termales humeantes y charcos de barro burbujeantes. Con el tiempo, la actividad geotérmica ha pintado estos barrancos en vívidos tonos de amarillo y rojo, contrastando maravillosamente con los pálidos picos en tonos arena que los rodean. En la cima de Jökultungur disfrutaremos de impresionantes vistas de la región de Fjallabak y, si el tiempo lo permite, vislumbrar los glaciares Mýrdalsjökull, Eyjafjallajökull y Tindfjallajökull.
Para llegar a nuestro alojamiento cerca del lago Álftavatn, cruzaremos un río, una experiencia emocionante pero segura. El día concluye con una abundante cena y la oportunidad de relajarse, sumergiéndose en la tranquila belleza del lago y su sereno entorno.
Distancia: 24 km (14,9 mi). Tiempo de caminata: 8 -gn 9 hrs. Ascenso: 900 m (2952 pies).
Después de un abundante desayuno, emprenderemos otro emocionante día de caminata. El viaje comienza con el cruce de un arroyo, ahora una parte familiar y divertida de la aventura, antes de adentrarnos en el vasto desierto de arena negra de Mælifellssandur. En el camino pasaremos por los sorprendentes volcanes de Stórasula y Hattafell, cuyas verdes laderas cubiertas de musgo destacan maravillosamente contra el paisaje oscuro y rocoso.
Si el tiempo está despejado, disfrutaremos de unas vistas increíbles de los glaciares Eyjafjallajökull y Mýrdalsjökull. Estos icónicos volcanes-glaciares están llenos de historia. Eyjafjallajökull interrumpió los viajes aéreos en 2010 con su poderosa erupción, y Mýrdalsjökull esconde el impredecible volcán Katla bajo su hielo.
A medida que continuamos, aparece a la vista el espectacular cañón Markarfljotsgljúfur. Este impresionante desfiladero de 200 m (656 pies) de profundidad, excavado por un río glacial, es un verdadero punto culminante del día. Finalmente llegaremos a Botnar, un oasis verde ubicado en medio del desierto negro, donde pasaremos la noche. Después de una deliciosa cena, podrá relajarse y disfrutar del tranquilo paisaje bajo la suave luz del atardecer.
Distancia: 15 km (9,5 millas). Tiempo de caminata: 6 -gn 7 hrs. Descenso: 40 m (130 ft).
El día 4, partiremos hacia el tramo final del sendero Laugavegur, dejando atrás los espectaculares paisajes de Emstrur mientras nos dirigimos hacia «orsmörk. El sendero nos lleva a través del pintoresco desfiladero de Almenningar, con la llamativa silueta del monte Einhyrningur (montaña Unicornio) elevándose contra el cielo. En el camino, disfrutaremos de impresionantes vistas de los glaciares de Eyjafjallajökull y Mýrdalsjökull.
A medida que nos acercamos a «órrsmörk, el paisaje comienza a cambiar. Empiezan a aparecer escasos árboles, dando paso paulatinamente a los densos bosques de abedules que hacen que este valle sea tan único. El aire se vuelve más fresco, lleno de sonidos de pájaros y hojas susurrantes. Finalmente llegamos al exuberante oasis de «órrsmörk, rodeado de imponentes montañas y glaciares, un lugar perfecto para celebrar el increíble logro de completar el mundialmente famoso sendero Laugavegur.
Distancia: 15 km (9,5 millas). Tiempo de caminata: 6 -gn 7 hrs. Descenso: 300 m (985 pies).
The hike to the Magni and Modi volcanic craters offers a stunning journey through Iceland’s rugged and ever-changing volcanic landscape. This path follows part of the fimmvörðuháls Trail, starting and ending in the lush Þórsmörk valley. Walk surrounded by steep mountains and glaciers, shaped by the 2010 eruption of Eyjafjallajökull. Along the way, you’ll pass through black sand plains, sharp lava ridges, and remnants of recent geological activity, all framed by distant glaciers and dramatic skies.
As you approach the craters, the landscape transforms into a stark, otherworldly terrain of fresh lava fields and steaming vents. The craters, named after the sons of Thor in Norse mythology, offer incredible views into their jagged rims and the surrounding volcanic features. On clear days, you’ll be rewarded with panoramic views of Mýrdalsjökull glacier and the Highlands, a stark contrast to the raw volcanic textures underfoot. The trail itself is moderately challenging, with some steep sections and loose gravel, requiring good footwear and a reasonable level of fitness.
Distancia: 16 km (10 millas). Tiempo de caminata: 7 « 8 hrs.
We will spend the last day exploring Þórsmörk and the surrounding area. If weather conditions allow, you can take on a steep hike up Mount Útigönguhöfði. For those who are not up for a challenge, a stroll to Húsadalur might be an option, or just relaxing around Langidalur before returning to Reykjavík.
After the trail, you’ll board the highland bus and depart for Hella. You’ll spend the night in a comfortable countryside hotel in preparation for our visit to Iceland’s famous South Coast the next day.
Distancia: 6 km (3,5 millas). Tiempo de caminata: ~3 hrs. Ascenso: 275 m (902 pies).
On the final day of our journey, we’ll explore Iceland’s stunning South Coast. The day begins with breakfast at your hotel, followed by a pick-up for a scenic drive to Seljalandsfoss waterfall, where a 60 m (196 ft) cascade tumbles into a lush valley. You can step behind the waterfall to experience its magic from a unique angle.
Next, we’ll visit Skogafoss waterfall, known for its wide, thundering cascade and a hillside path offering panoramic views. Along the climb, you’ll see two intriguing rock formations, said in legend to be trolls turned to stone by the sunrise.
Then, we’ll head to Reynisfjara, a famous black sand beach, known for its tall basalt columns, crashing waves, and sea stacks called Reynisdrangar. The beach is stunning but powerful, so we’ll keep a safe distance from the water.
Our tour concludes at Solheimajokull glacier, a dramatic expanse of ice flowing from the larger Mýrdalsjökull glacier. At the base camp, our expert guide will provide equipment and a safety briefing before leading us onto the glacier itself, sharing insights into its formation and role in shaping Iceland’s landscape.
Finally, we’ll return to Reykjavik, dropping you off at a designated bus stop or drop-off point within the city close to your hotel.
*Please note that only breakfast at your accommodation is included on this day. Meal stops will be available for additional purchases. Throughout the day, there will be stops where you can purchase food and beverages.
In the early morning, we’ll start exploring the famous Golden Circle route. Our first stop is Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the founding location of the oldest parliament in the world. You’ll walk through the gap between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates!
Next, we’ll visit the Geysir geothermal area. This active geothermal field is packed with steaming fissures, bubbling hot springs, and geysers. The highlight is Strokkur Geyser, known for its spectacular eruptions, shooting water up to 40 m (131 ft) every 5-8 minutes.
Our third stop is the massive Gullfoss waterfall. It plunges 32 m (105 ft) in two stages into a rugged canyon that’s 70 m (229 ft) high. The first drop is 11 m (36 ft), and the second is 21 m (69 ft), making Gullfoss a true showstopper.
To wrap up the day, we’ll head to the Secret Lagoon, a relaxing geothermal hot pool surrounded by hot springs and mini geysers. After a day full of incredible sights and relaxation, we’ll head back to Reykjavík, where you’ll be dropped off.
