Private Kerlingarfjoll Highlands Hike with English or French Guide from Reykjavik (Up to 4 People)

Hike through the Kerlingarfjoll Mountains to the steaming Hveradalir Geothermal Area in the Icelandic Highlands on this private tour from Reykjavik with an English- or French-speaking guide.

You leave Reykjavik with your guide and driver, and the drive to Kerlingarfjoll takes about 3 hours.

Halfway there, you stop at Gullfoss Waterfall. After seeing the waterfall, you can use the facilities at the visitor center and buy refreshments for the day.

Then you continue on the rugged roads of the Highlands, with photo stops and views over glaciers along the way.

At Kerlingarfjoll, you start the hike, an out-and-back trail of about 9 miles (14 kilometers). For most of the hike, you walk on varied terrain through a desert-like valley surrounded by glaciers, hours away from the nearest towns.

After about 1.5 hours, you reach Hveradalir, and the landscape changes completely. You look out over orange valleys full of hot streams and columns of steam. You have time to explore, walk down to the bottom of the valley, and take photos.

After a loop in the valley, you return the same way you came, and then drive back to Reykjavik.
