This North Iceland tour requires a good base level of fitness, and that you’re comfortable being active several hours a day. The hiking days are full but steady, following well-chosen mountain and valley routes at a manageable pace with breaks, scenery stops, and a packed lunch. The lodge’s daily pool, sauna, and guided stretching sessions also help your body recover between outings.

The rest of the week balances activity with comfort. Horseback riding is gentle and suitable for beginners, white-water rafting is guided and doesn’t require prior experience, and all activities are adapted to the group’s pace and abilities. If you enjoy the outdoors, stay moderately active at home, and are excited for a week of exploring Iceland’s mountains, you’ll be perfectly fit for this adventure.
