Arrive in Reykjavik

Keflavik International Airport to your hotel in Reykjavik

Welcome dinner

Fly into Keflavik International Airport (KEF), about 50 km from Reykjavik across the lava of the Reykjanes Peninsula.

Matin

Most flights from North America land early in the morning, so a private transfer brings you straight into the city, and the hotel keeps your bags until your room is ready; we request early check-in but cannot promise it. Sleep, find breakfast, or loosen your legs in one of the city's geothermal pools. At 3 pm your See Sight Tours guide meets the group for an easy walk of about two hours: up to Hallgrimskirkja, down past the pond at Tjornin and the Parliament House to the Old Harbour, where the whale-watching boats tie up, and along the shore to Harpa. Back at the hotel the guide checks boots and rain gear and runs through the week: the easy and active choice on each hiking day, and the glacier walk on day 6, so we can book your place on the ice.

Soir

Then we walk together to a welcome dinner in the centre at about 7 pm.

Temps libre : Free until the 3 pm walk

Activité : If you land after about 2 pm, go straight to the hotel: your guide leaves a note at the front desk with the restaurant address, and you join the group at the welcome dinner at about 7 pm.

Reykjadalur hot river and Kerid

Reykjavik over the Hellisheidi heath to Reykjadalur above Hveragerdi, then Kerid and Hvolsvollur

We leave at 8:30 am and cross the Hellisheidi heath, past a steaming geothermal power plant, to the car park above the small town of Hveragerdi.

Après-midi

By about 9:15 we are walking up Reykjadalur, the Steam Valley, ahead of the day-tour groups that arrive from Reykjavik around midday. The path climbs about 300 m over some 3.5 km, past the Djupagilsfoss waterfall and hissing vents and bubbling mud pots, to a stretch where hot springs feed a warm river. A boardwalk with simple changing screens runs along the bank, and you can lie in the water for as long as you like. We walk back down the same way. Lunch is included in Hveragerdi. In the afternoon we stop at Kerid, a crater about 6,000 years old with red and black walls around a green lake, and walk its rim, then drive the last hour east across the farmland of the south to Hvolsvollur, our base for three nights.

Soir

We arrive at about 4 pm, and the evening is free.

Compris

Activités en option

The Lava Centre in Hvolsvollur, an exhibition on Iceland's volcanoes and earthquakes (price shown at booking)

Option plus facile : Walk the first part of the valley to the Djupagilsfoss viewpoint and back, about 2 km and 1.5 hours, then wait in a cafe in Hveragerdi.

Option plus active : Carry on past the bathing area to the head of the valley and loop back over the higher ground, about 4.5 hours in all, as the weather and the group allow.

Temps libre : Evening free in Hvolsvollur

Activité : Bring a swimsuit and small towel in your day pack. The path is steady but can be muddy; there is no shade and no water source, so carry a litre. Bathing is only allowed in the marked stretch of the river.

Thorsmork by super-jeep and Valahnukur

Hvolsvollur by super-jeep on the F249 track past Seljalandsfoss and Gigjokull into Thorsmork, and back

Petit-déjeuner, repas du midi et repas du soir
Nuit : Hvolsvollur
Environ 3 h de route

Today the minibus stays behind. At 8:30 am a super-jeep with an experienced local driver collects us for Thorsmork, the valley of Thor, a nature reserve walled in by three glaciers. Past Seljalandsfoss the road becomes the F249 highland track, and we ford a series of unbridged glacier rivers, stopping below Gigjokull, an outlet glacier of Eyjafjallajokull whose valley was flooded by meltwater during the 2010 eruption. On the way in we walk into Stakkholtsgja, a narrow canyon with a hidden waterfall at its end. In Thorsmork we climb Valahnukur by a steep but well-made path through birch woods. From the top you see Eyjafjallajokull, Myrdalsjokull and Tindfjallajokull at once, and the braided Krossa river below.

Après-midi

We eat a packed lunch on the way down to Husadalur and walk the valley paths back.

Soir

The jeep leaves at about 4 pm, and we are in Hvolsvollur by about 5:30 pm for an included dinner.

Compris

Dinner in Hvolsvollur

Option plus facile : Skip the summit: walk the birch-wood paths of Langidalur along the valley floor with the guide, about 2 hours with little climbing, and meet the group at Husadalur.

Option plus active : Add a longer ridge loop above Husadalur chosen by the guide for the weather, for about 5 to 6 hours on foot in all.

Activité : About 4 to 6 hours on foot with about 200 to 250 m of climbing on the Valahnukur path, which is steep and loose near the top. The super-jeep ride is bumpy; if rain has raised the rivers, the driver may choose a shorter route or turn back, and the guide switches to a walk near Skogar.

Skogafoss and the Skoga river falls

Hvolsvollur to Skogar, up the Skoga river path toward Fimmvorduhals, then back by Seljalandsfoss

Petit-déjeuner et repas du midi
Nuit : Hvolsvollur
Environ 1.5 h de route

A short drive east along the foot of Eyjafjallajokull brings us to Skogar by about 9:15. We climb the long staircase beside Skogafoss, a 60 m curtain of water, before the day coaches fill the viewing platform, and start up the path that follows the Skoga river toward the Fimmvorduhals pass. It runs along the edge of the gorge past a long chain of waterfalls, each different: some drop through narrow slots, some fan over steps of rock.

Après-midi

The full walk goes about 7 to 8 km up the river toward the footbridge where the path heads for the pass, climbing about 550 m, and returns the same way, about 6 hours with a packed lunch by the water. The shorter group turns back after the first hour of falls and walks to Kvernufoss, a quieter fall in a side valley near the Skogar Museum. Everyone meets at about 3:30 pm. On the way back we stop at Seljalandsfoss, where a path runs behind the falling water, and Gljufrabui, hidden in a cleft next door, and reach Hvolsvollur by about 5:30 pm.

Option plus facile : Walk the first hour of falls above Skogafoss and back, then Kvernufoss and the Skogar Museum, about 2.5 hours on foot in all.

Option plus active : Go on toward the footbridge below the Fimmvorduhals pass, about 15 km there and back and about 550 m of climbing, roughly 6 hours with lunch.

Temps libre : Evening free in Hvolsvollur

Activité : The steps beside Skogafoss are steep, and the river path is narrow in places with drops into the gorge; keep to the path. Seljalandsfoss is wet behind the falls, so wear waterproofs.

Reynisfjara, Vik and Fjadrargljufur

Hvolsvollur to Reynisfjara, Dyrholaey and Vik, then across Eldhraun to Fjadrargljufur and Kirkjubaejarklaustur

Petit-déjeuner et repas du midi
Nuit : Kirkjubaejarklaustur
Environ 3 h de route

The easy day between bases. We leave Hvolsvollur at 8 am and are at Reynisfjara by about 9:15: black sand, the basalt columns of the Gardar cliff and the Reynisdrangar sea stacks offshore. The waves here are dangerous, so we keep well back from the water. When it is open, we drive up to Dyrholaey, the headland with a great sea arch, where puffins nest on the cliffs in summer.

Après-midi

Lunch is included in Vik. In the afternoon we cross the wide Myrdalssandur plain and the moss-covered lava of Eldhraun, laid down by the Laki eruption of 1783 and 1784, to the Fjadrargljufur canyon, where a path follows the rim for about 2 km above a twisting gorge up to 100 m deep. We reach Kirkjubaejarklaustur, a quiet village at the foot of a cliff, by about 3 pm, and the rest of the day is yours: rest your legs, or take the short path up past the Systrafoss waterfall to the lake above the village.

Compris

Option plus facile : Stay with the minibus at Dyrholaey and walk only the first viewpoint at Fjadrargljufur, a few minutes from the car park.

Option plus active : In the late afternoon, walk the path from Kirkjubaejarklaustur up past Systrafoss to the lake on the cliff top and back, about an hour.

Temps libre : Afternoon and evening free in Kirkjubaejarklaustur

Activité : About 4 to 5 km on foot across the day on sand and good paths. Parts of Dyrholaey close in the nesting season and the Fjadrargljufur path can close when wet; your guide swaps in another stop on the same road.

Glacier walk and Svartifoss at Skaftafell

Kirkjubaejarklaustur to Skaftafell in Vatnajokull National Park, and back

We leave at 8 am for Skaftafell, about an hour east, part of Vatnajokull National Park, which UNESCO listed in 2019. At about 9:30 we meet certified local glacier guides, put on crampons, helmets and harnesses, and walk out onto an outlet glacier of Vatnajokull: about three hours in all, among ridges of blue ice, sinkholes and meltwater channels streaked with ash.

Après-midi

Lunch is included near the visitor centre. In the afternoon your See Sight Tours guide leads the walk up through birch scrub past Hundafoss to Svartifoss, a waterfall that drops over a cliff of dark, hanging basalt columns. Most of the group walks back down from Svartifoss by about 3:30 pm. Only those who choose the active option carry on over the Skaftafellsheidi heath to the Sjonarnipa viewpoint, high above the cracked ice of Skaftafellsjokull, and are back at the visitor centre by about 5 pm.

Soir

We return to Kirkjubaejarklaustur by about 6 pm for a farewell dinner together.

Glacier walk of about 3 hours with certified glacier guides, crampons, helmet and ice axe supplied

Option plus facile : Instead of the glacier walk, take the nearly flat path to the snout of Skaftafellsjokull, about 4 km there and back, then walk to Svartifoss after lunch, about 3.5 km there and back with a steady climb.

Option plus active : After the glacier and lunch, walk on from Svartifoss over Skaftafellsheidi to the Sjonarnipa viewpoint and down to the visitor centre, about 7 km and 3 hours with about 350 m of climbing, back by about 5 pm. Your guide confirms the timing on the day.

Temps libre : Late afternoon free before dinner

Activité : Tell us your choice when you book, so we can reserve your place on the ice. The glacier guides set a minimum age and may change the route or cancel for weather; if they do, the whole group walks the Skaftafellsheidi loop. Times today depend on the glacier slot, which ops confirm when we book it.

Faune et météo : From late June to mid-July the nights barely get dark, so take an eye mask; by early September the evenings draw in and the first Northern Lights become possible on clear nights. The F249 track into Thorsmork and the upper Skoga river path are usually clear of snow only from about late June, which is why the season starts then. Rain can raise the glacier rivers within hours, and the super-jeep driver has the final say on crossings. Arctic terns nest near some paths in summer and dive at walkers; a raised pole or hat helps.

Questions

What does the price include?

Six nights in 3-star-plus hotels with private bathrooms, 6 breakfasts, 5 lunches and 3 dinners, a private arrival transfer, a minibus and driver, the super-jeep day in Thorsmork, the glacier walk at Skaftafell, Kerid entry, all parking and site fees, and your See Sight Tours guide leading every hike.

How fit do I need to be for this hiking trip?

For the full walks, you should be comfortable hiking 4 to 6 hours with climbs of about 200 to 550 m on rough, wet paths. Every hiking day also has an easy option of about 1.5 to 2.5 hours, and day 5 is a light day. If you walk regularly at home on hills, you will be fine.

How big is the group?

The small-group trip runs with 7 to 12 guests in one minibus, so the guide can split the group into an easy and an active walk and still keep an eye on everyone. That is smaller than many coach-based tours of the south coast, and twelve is the most we take.

Who leads the hikes?

A See Sight Tours guide stays with the group from the walk on day 1 to the airport on day 7 and leads the hikes. A local driver handles the super-jeep into Thorsmork, and certified glacier guides lead the walk on the ice at Skaftafell. We name your guide when we confirm your dates.

Is this the Laugavegur trek?

No. The Laugavegur is a four-day hut-to-hut trek from Landmannalaugar to Thorsmork with dorm beds and a full pack. This trip reaches Thorsmork, the trek's finish, by super-jeep for a day of walking, and sleeps in hotels with private bathrooms every night. If you want the full trek, ask us about a private trip.

I'm travelling solo. What does a room of my own cost?

A room of your own is from CAD 1,100 more than the shared price, shown before you book with no surprise at checkout. Solo travellers are welcome on every departure, and you never have to drive: the driver handles the roads and rivers and the guide handles the trails.

When is the best time to go hiking in Iceland?

We run this trip from late June to early September. Before then, snow often lies on the upper Skoga river path and the Thorsmork track can be closed or the rivers too high. July and August are the mildest months; early September is quieter, with the first dark nights for the Northern Lights.

What happens if the weather is bad?

Your guide swaps the order of the hiking days or picks a sheltered route, which is easy with three nights in one base. The super-jeep driver decides on river crossings, and the glacier guides can change or cancel the ice walk; if they do, you walk the Skaftafellsheidi loop instead. Expect rain at some point.

Should I choose this trip or the South Coast and Snaefellsnes trip?

Choose this one if walking is the point: four days of 4 to 6 hours on foot and only two hotel changes. The South Coast, Glaciers and Snaefellsnes trip has shorter walks, adds Jokulsarlon and Snaefellsnes, and moves hotel more often. The nine-day Ring Road goes all the way round the island.

Do I need a visa for Iceland?

Canadian and US citizens do not need a visa for a short stay in Iceland, which is in the Schengen area. Your passport should be valid for at least three months beyond the day you leave. Europe's ETIAS travel authorisation has not started yet; we check again before you fly and tell you if anything is needed.

How does booking work?

Pick your start date and request to book; no payment is taken at that point. We check hotels, the minibus, the super-jeep, the glacier guides and your guide for that date and confirm within 24 hours. The small group starts from CAD 6,495 per person sharing, taxes included, and the private trip from CAD 11,690 per person.

Can we travel privately or on our own dates?

Yes. Besides the small group, the trip comes as a private trip for your party only, on a date you choose, with your own guide and vehicle; it can add a last night in Reykjavik or swap in other hikes. If you would rather travel independently on your own dates, ask us from the dates section and we will quote it.
