Review of Arctic Adventures’ Landmannalaugar hike from Reykjavík, with colorful mountains, lava trails, hot springs, costs, timing, and practical tips.

“Landmannalaugar was an unforgettable adventure! I'm so glad I woke up early, even after a late night out in Reykjavik. The location is truly breathtaking, nestled in the Icelandic Highlands among vibrant rhyolite mountains, steaming geothermal vents, and rugged landscapes that feel otherworldly. The highlight of the hike was definitely the dip in the geothermal springs. This is the real deal!”

Review of Midgard Adventure’s Thorsmork Super Jeep tour, with glacier views, river crossings, canyon walks, guide tips, price, and practical advice.

“First few stops were fantastic! As the day went on things may have lost a little excitement. It is a bumpy dusty ride and our jeep had no air conditioning and it was warm. Our guide “crazy” Sveinn made up for it though with his enthusiasm! He made us laugh and all in all it was a great day.”

“Our tour time was scheduled for 8AM but was warned to be there at least 30 minutes early because there are pickups all over the city. We were picked up at 7:45. We made several stops on our way to Landmannalaugar so we could purchase snacks and see sights along the way. We ate our sack lunch when we arrived at Landmannalaugar. There is snack food available to purchase at the site but the selection is not very appealing. Our guide gave out one map to share between 2 couples who wanted to hike on our own. It would have been nice if we could have had a map for…”

“The bus broke down while returning from Landmannalaugar. The tour guide Beggi did excellently well to keep the moral of the group high while we waited for the other bus to come. So 10/10 points to him. But poor on bustravel icelands part, that we had to wait 5 and half hours for the bus,when we were only 2 hours away from Reykjavík.”

Reach Thórsmörk by Super Jeep from Reykjavik, crossing rivers for glacier views, canyon hikes, waterfalls, and a quieter taste of Iceland.

“Stunning views of glaciers, waterfalls, and valleys with short hikes and walks. The super Jeep was comfortable and beefed up to traverse rough dirt roads and stream beds easily. On this trip there were only four tour guests so it was like semi-private. There were no crowds or tourist traps in the stops. The tour guide knew the area well and was informative. He even stopped at the Blue Lagoon so we could see what it was really like (Exterior view is worth a thousand words). So, if you want to see nature and real Iceland (back country) that is accessible without the crowds, this is one of the tours…”
