Overview

This is an Icelandic Highlands tour, a 3-day adventure built for travellers who want maximum Highlands magic with zero planning stress. We handle everything—transport from Reykjavík, meals, mountain hut stays, safety gear, and expert guiding. The Icelandic Highlands tour includes accommodation for 2 nights at huts, all meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner), from lunch on Day 1 through lunch on Day 3, pick-up and drop-off in Reykjavik, free WiFi on the bus, and necessary safety equipment. Good fitness is required. You’ll be hiking for 3 days in a row, with the second day being the toughest—you’ll cover 15-18 km (9-11 mi) and gain up to 800 m (2,624 ft), which should take 7-8 hours. Other days are shorter and easier.
