Escape the crowds and discover one of Iceland’s best-kept secrets on this full-day adventure into the remote Highlands.

Travel deep into the rugged interior to Kerlingarfjöll, a spectacular mountain range known for its steaming geothermal valleys, colorful rhyolite peaks, and otherworldly landscapes. Often compared to Mars, this hidden region offers a side of Iceland that few visitors ever experience.

With your expert guide, enjoy a scenic small-group hike through the Hveradalir geothermal valley, where bubbling hot springs, steaming vents, and vivid mineral-stained hills create an unforgettable setting. Along the way, take in sweeping views of glaciers, highland rivers, and untouched wilderness far from the typical tourist routes.

This tour is perfect for travellers looking to go beyond the Golden Circle and experience a more authentic, adventurous side of Iceland—without needing to self-drive into the Highlands.

The scenery was absolutely stunning and worth every minute of the hike. As someone with very little hiking experience, I really appreciated how supportive our guide was. He helped us navigate the trickier parts and always made sure everyone was doing well. A special thanks for being so patient！

I just want to say, our guide Ari was the best. I was so afraid that I was about to cry, then he saw me and helped me. He let me hold onto him during the hike and was encouraging me all the way. I wouldn’t have seen the beautiful parts without his help.

This is my first time joining the hiking tour and it’s the best decision! I booked this trip last minute because a person I met during another tour recommend doing this since it’s available only during summertime. My guide is Guna, who’s very knowledgable, patient and kind. She helped me and others a lot throughout the whole hike, teaching me how to place my feet on a curtain point of the path, to be careful around the snowy path. There are 8 people in the group, I, Swiss couple who’s very kind, they help others as they have experiences in hiking before, American Indian couple who shared their fresh towel for me to keep me warm as I came quite unprepared, English couple who tried their best and made it to the top though they’re hesitate at first, and an Irish solo who’s very cheerful and keep everyone’ company. They’re very wholesome people, I’m really happy I joined this tour. And the view is absolutely breathtaking, unlike anywhere else. You need to see them yourself. It’s worth every single steps it takes to get there. There are also a short stop at Gýgjarfoss before the hike and Gullfoss after. There is also a stop at camp base near the hiking area where you can indulge in the waffle buffet and nice hot chocolate. Totally recommend this activity! And I would definitely looking forward to join hiking tours with Arctic Adventures again on my next trip in Iceland :)

Artic Adventures and the guide were excellent. I gave the trip three stars because the description is deceiving. The hike is touted as going through thermal valleys and snow fields. They left out hiking up stairs without rails or ropes to cross over narrow ridges. The trail is pure muck. Not hiking shoes or hiking boots, galoshes are needed. We hiked only part way and then returned to the parking lot to follow a well marked path. The younger participants completed the loop. Overall we had a good day but wished we had been better advised on the hike.

My Kerlingarfjöll Hike was clearly an outstanding day with the best guide you can imagine. Our small group started out with stormy winds, and I needed a bit support for stability. Our guide did just the right thing, and all went well. During the hike we made several short stops and learnd a lot about geology, the different kinds of lava and much more amazing facts. (...and at the same time we could catch our breath..) I shot photos with amazing results, the cloudy sky and the fog with a few sunpatches made a unforgettable journey. Thank you!
Breathtaking small hike

I joined the small group for a long day drive to the highlands and middle of Iceland. The trek is spectacular and our local guide (whose name I am not remembering) was terrific and very informative, he had loads of interesting history to share. The trail is very much single file and trekking poles a must as we had lots of snow and mud on the down hill trail. Highly recommend it is extraordinary!
