Trekking in Iceland

Highlights

An incredible, hotel-based trekking adventure in East Iceland, with Mývatn lake & Akureyri.

We will spend five days exploring Iceland's awe-inspiring east fjords and the hidden gems of Víknaslóðir, or the "Deserted Inlets" in and near the Borgarfjörður Eystri. There the imposing and colorful mountains meet the ocean creating deep fjords littered with secluded alcoves along magnificent coastlines.

Among Icelanders the vicinity of Borgarfjörður is known for its great natural beauty and incredible hiking routes but it is still untouched by mass-tourism. This isolated region is also considered to be a central province of the elves. In the Álfaborg fortress (Elf-hill) their queen has long resided, governing and watching over her realm.

After our treks in the east we will cross over to the incredible Mývatn lake visiting en route the still steaming lava field of Leirhnjúkur and end the trip in the charming town of Akureyri.
