Reykjavik Hiking

This is the best day trip among other 4 day trips I had in iceland. It is a small group tour operate by big bus tour using jeep entering the highlands through f roads n river crossing. Laudmannalaugar is hiker paradise with different hiking trails from easy, moderate and hard. Our group split into 2 teams when some experienced hikers go for moderate trail by themselves, while most of us choosing easy trail and our guide bring us go and take care of us well. The hike is not hard, most are flat terrain with few steep up and down. But highly recommend to wear hiking shoes with mega grip. Normal person without any medical condition will have no issue with the hike. it's 4km and we spent 2 hours to slowly walk and take photos as the scenery is too beautiful, it is like in another planet. Our guide is very good. We continue to other stops to see canyon, waterfalls, viking house without any hurry. This tour is a very long day tour but absolutely worth it ended 9pm+. Definitely recommend it.

I have to put 4 stars because the volcano hike was shorter than what was written in the itinerary. I really like the hike for the volcano but the time spent is too short in my opinion. This tour is also split into 2 groups after the volcano hike, one for blue lagoon and the rest to Reykjanes area, which I think it's not very time efficient considering the time spent for each location is also short. For this, driving is recommended than joining the tour.

If you come to Iceland, aside from the Northern Lights tour, this would be my top recommendation. It's truly worth spending a day experiencing. Our guide, Jay, was incredibly professional. In addition to hiking, he taught us how to climb and rappel on the glacier using ropes and ice axes! I brought my mother, who is almost 60, and he professionally designed different routes and methods for us, allowing us to experience climbing in various ways. On this tour, the guide will do their best to take you to the highest accessible point of the day, so you can admire the glacier from different perspectives!

A great experience (particularly the ice climbing) and well organised day. The guide for the ice climbing, Steven, was knowledgable, safety concious and thorough in his explanations that gave me the confidence to push myself into some incredible situations on the glacier. Were it not for his professionalism and attention to detail, I doubt I would have had the same experience. Highly recommend this for an adventure seeking day up close to the glacier, especially if Steven is at the helm!
