Hopefully, you’ve had a good rest and a hearty breakfast because we’re about to begin a 3-day adventure on some of the best trails Iceland has to offer! After pick-up in Reykjavik or South Iceland, we’ll head to the starting point of the Fimmvorduhals trail in Skogar. Here, we’ll be greeted by the majestic Skogafoss, the first of 26 waterfalls we’ll encounter on the “Waterfall Trail” portion of the trek. Along the way, we’ll get up close to glaciers, volcanic craters, historic sites, lava fields, and rugged mountain ranges, all while hiking between and over glaciers.
After a day of breathtaking exploration, we’ll arrive in the Husadalur valley of Thorsmork, where we’ll settle into cozy mountain cabins or, for those seeking a touch of luxury, glamping tents. After tackling the most challenging day of the trip, we’ll unwind by the campfire, enjoy a BBQ, and swap stories with fellow adventurers.

The folks at Fjallhalla Adventures were extremely helpful and offered excellent client service. We did the Fimmvorduhals hike with Steinar, who was a kind, funny and very knowledgeable guide. This hike was by far the highlight of our trip to Iceland and we had the most wonderful experience. I would highly recommend booking this tour with Fjallhalla Adventures!
