​

Laugavegur trail is a scenic path in the southern highlands of Iceland where geothermal activity meets glaciers and raw landscapes. This is a supported moderate 6-day hike. We will have a highland truck driving hut to hut with our luggage aside from our daypacks. Every day feels completely different from the next. Maximum guests per tour is 8, which is much lower than usually here in Iceland. With such group size we can also travel much easier at the group speed and have extra luxury with the food. For example of what a food in in a day might look like check the full description. Everything is included in this tour from our meet-up point downtown Reykjavík. This tour will be guided by myself, I have guided this tour 25 times so far.

I was so pleased on this trip with Einar and his skill. I was 69 and older than then group, but we all stayed together and I never felt like the pace was to fast. our group were just amazing people from all types of life and we got along fabulously. Highly recommended. Great food, fun conversation and Icelandic beauty. A million laughs.
