Testimonials

From Chris

All,

Just a quick email to say thank you so much for your help in organising the trip to Iceland. It was, not to put to fine a point on it, SPECTACULAR. Everything that could have happened did – a mountain rescue, an amazing hotel, a meal of whale meat and puffin at Lækjarbrekka, cocktail fun at Orange and a light poaching at the Blue Lagoon. And to round it all off: an Icelandic psychic on the plane home who gave everyone “dream pebbles”. Seriously. The whole thing still feels faintly surreal and dream-like, to be honest.

But the best bit? The dive. Was just utterly, utterly incredible. Not that you can tell from these pics, but this is me but this is me at Þingvellir - 40m down in glacial water with 100m visibility:

It was one of the highlights of my life. Seriously. Genuinely awe-inspiringly beautiful. Hedinn was a superb dive master, and gave me all the help and encouragement I needed. And with the our great jeep story as well (thanks to our guide Ragi – a really great guy), I think it’s going to make a great piece.

So thank you so much for your help organising it – everything worked like clockwork, and we both had an amazing time. I’ll be in touch nearer the time when we start laying out the feature, but until then, thanks again..

Frequently Asked Questions About Trekking in Iceland

What is the Laugavegur trail?

The Laugavegur trail is the famous trekking path that links to of Iceland´s most famous highland reservations, the Landmannalaugar Hot Springs and the Þórsmörk Valley. The trek can be done both ways, that is to say, starting from either Landmannalaugar or Þórsmörk, but it generally starts in Landmannalaugar and ends in Þórsmörk and that is the way we operate our trips.

How long is the Laugavegur trail?

The total length of the Laugavegur trail is approx. 54 kilometers.

How long do we hike each day?

We hike from 6 hours to 10 hours each day. This is a easy to challenging hiking trip, but anyone in a relatively good shape can undertake this tour.

Where does the Highlights of the Highlands trip start?

We start from Reykjavík and the tour includes a pick up from your accommodation. We will start with a drive to Landmannalaugar hot springs, either in one of our buses or with the scheduled bus from the BSI bus terminal.

Can you offer vegeterian food on your treks?

Yes sure no problem, we offer vegeterian options.

Can you offer vegan food on your treks?

No, sorry. Vegan cooking is not possible.

Do I need to bring a tent?

No, no need to bring a tent, we supply tents on all our treks.

Is the sleeping bag and mattress included?

No, but you can rent a sleeping bag and mattress from us. Please remember to pre-book such extras.

Can we book chalets instead of tent accommodation on the Highlights of the Highlands trek?

Yes, please contact us for prices and availability. How ever keep in mind that the chalets on Laugavegur can be very cramped and all accommodation is in bunk beds. For this reason we prefer to operate our trips in tents, it is much more cozy.
