Extreme 12 Hour Hiking Tour of the Fimmvorduhals Route

Join this rewarding yet accessible adventure on the stunning Fimmvorduhals hiking route in Iceland’s Central Highlands. This tour is ideal for travellers eager to experience the raw beauty of the Highlands, as well as passionate hikers looking to enjoy a memorable trek without committing to a full-day hike.

This unique Fimmvorduhals Super Jeep tour combines an exciting off-road drive with a moderate 1.9-mile (3-kilometer) hike, offering the perfect balance of comfort, adventure, and exploration.

Your journey begins in the charming village of Skogar, where you’ll board a powerful super jeep and head toward the highlands. The scenic 5.6-mile (9-kilometer) drive, lasting roughly one hour, takes you along rugged mountain roads, with breathtaking landscapes unfolding right outside your window.

The hike starts at Baldvinsskali cabin, a spectacular viewpoint surrounded by some of Iceland’s most iconic natural features. From here, you’ll enjoy panoramic views of Eyjafjallajokull Glacier, Myrdalsjokull Glacier, and the formidable Katla Volcano — a dream setting for nature lovers and photographers alike.

After lacing up your boots and adjusting your hiking poles, you’ll set out on a 1–1.5-hour hike toward the volcanic craters Magni and Modi. These striking formations were created during the 2010 Fimmvorduhals eruption, which took place between March 20 and April 13. Named after Thor’s sons in Norse mythology, the craters add a powerful mythological and geological dimension to the experience.

Take time to explore the area, enjoy the peaceful atmosphere, and absorb the dramatic volcanic landscape before returning to Baldvinsskali. From there, your super jeep will transport you back toward Skógar, with a final stop at one of Iceland’s most famous natural wonders — the magnificent Skógafoss waterfall.
