About this trip
Eastern Iceland gets far fewer visitors than the south coast, and this six-day trek is built around that quiet: fjords, waterfalls and small fishing villages with no crowds to speak of.
You're guided throughout by an experienced CEO who knows the terrain, so the days can focus on walking rather than logistics. It's a serious trek rather than a gentle wander — expect real distances and changeable weather.
Private rooms each night mean you get your own space to recover, which matters on a trip built around consecutive days on foot.
What you'll do
- Walk through fjord landscapes in Iceland's least-visited region
- Pass waterfalls along the trekking route
- Stop in small fishing villages rarely seen by tourists
- Fully guided throughout by an expert CEO
- Serious hiking style — suits people wanting a genuine trekking challenge, not a leisurely walk
- Private rooms each night rather than shared dorms
Worth it if you want flexible hiking with a knowledgeable guide in genuinely stunning scenery. Think twice if you need reliable transport or food variety.
- Guides adapt routes for weather and ability; WhatsApp comms and hike maps provided upfront.
- Transport vehicles had mechanical issues and felt unsafe; one group's car stalled during pickup.
- Meals used repetitive ingredients all week; geothermal day involved heavy driving rather than walking.
- Relaxed pace lets you absorb Eastern Iceland properly; scenery genuinely spectacular if weather cooperates.
