DAY 1

Þórsmörk Highlights

The Þórsmörk Nature Reserve has some of the most beautiful and amazing trails in Iceland and offers views of the mountains, volcanoes, glaciers, and valleys.

The trail sits right between the two iconic trails Laugavegur and Fimmvörðuháls. It features all the best views of Þórsmörk and offers versatile terrain. It will lead you along parts of the Laugavegur Trail through the birch woods of the Húsadalur Valley and up to the foothills of the Tindfjöll Mountains.  You can reach the Þórsmörk Valley by taking the Slyppugilshryggur Ridge or the Slyppugil Canyon. At the bottom of the valley, you will find the Langidalur Hut, where you can rest and fill up your water bottle. Then we will climb back up and over the Valahnúkur Mountain for a lasting impression of Þórsmörk before descending back to the Volcano Huts. This trail is marked and accessible. It is possible to extend or shorten the trail at convenient points.

After completing the trail, we will head back to our first night in a tent at the Farmhouse.

DAY 2

Katla Glacier and Hjörleifshöfði

Let's head off to Katla Glacier! Katla Glacier is a tongue from Mýrdals Glacier, Iceland's fourth largest glacier. We will take our time here, explore more than one cave if possible, and hike around on the glacier.

On today's list is also a visit to Hjörleifshöfði. Hjörleifshöfði is a historical promontory, named after a Viking settler. We will drive on the coast, taking back roads and rough tracks, drive on the beach, and have fun making this a real Super Jeep experience.

DAY 3

Skógafoss and Seljalandsfoss

We will visit the two most famous waterfalls in Iceland, Skógafoss, and Seljalandsfoss. They are located half an hour’s drive from each other and are both approximately 60 meters (196 feet) high.

Seljalandsfoss is narrower but offers visitors the opportunity to walk behind its beautiful cascade. Skógafoss has an impressive width of 24 meters (78 feet) and we can walk up close to its base to feel its spray on our faces!

As the adventurous closure for our nature sightseeing road trip, we will strap on crampons and climb up a thrilling glacier! We will hike across the surface of the ancient ice and explore the glacier’s surreal formations, deep crevasses, and ice sculptures. 

Iceland’s stunning south coast is the ideal way to finish your time in the country, providing access to everything.

Domestic trip, cool experience!

Very cool experience, definitely recommended. Harm takes you to places inland where you probably wouldn't otherwise go and the landscapes are amazing. The tents and mats are also excellent, and with a nice group you can make it a fantastic two-week domestic trip!

Northern Lights trip with Local Adventures

Wonderful, pleasant, active trip through beautiful Iceland in the autumn. Very good price-quality ratio, many included, beautiful overnight stays at unique locations, small group and a tour guide who knows a lot about Iceland and therefore visits relatively undiscovered places in addition to the hotspots and can adapt the program flexibly.

Recommended! Tour Iceland with Local Adventures

Just returned from the 12-day camping trip Tour of Iceland with Harm / Local Adventures. What a wonderful journey through a beautiful country! Harm's passion and love for Iceland and for showing all the beauty the country has to offer - including some lesser-known gems - provided an extra golden edge to the already beautiful trip. The flexibility in the itinerary and the nice, relatively small group made it complete. Highly recommended!
