About this experience
Small Groups, Big Connection
Our trips are intentionally small, with a maximum of ten guests per group. This allows time to connect, share stories, and travel at a relaxed pace.
Guided by Experience and Heart
Your guides, Björg and Markús, along with the Midgard family, bring warmth, humor, and a deep love for Iceland. They do not just show you the country; they share it in a personal and genuine way.
Famous Sights and Hidden Gems
You will visit Iceland’s must-see landmarks along with secret trails, local hangouts, and breathtaking places that most travelers miss. Each day combines adventure, nature, and culture in a way that feels balanced and real.
Hospitality, Midgard Style
One evening, you will join your hosts for dinner in their home. The meal is crafted by Kalle, Midgard’s head chef and brother-in-law. He is known for creative dishes that blend local Icelandic ingredients with flavors from his travels around the world.
Four Seasons, Four Experiences
Each trip offers a unique way to experience Iceland: Winter Cosiness, Spring Light, Summer Freedom, or Autumn Calm. No matter the season, the heart of the trip stays the same. You will find real connections, great food, and nature at its most alive.
Your Pace, Your Adventure
Whether you enjoy long hikes or prefer a slower rhythm, there is space for everyone to enjoy Iceland in their own way.
A Message from Björg
These tours are for those who enjoy good company, open landscapes, and moments that matter. We will explore Iceland’s famous sights, but also our personal favorites: the valleys, trails, and tucked-away places that hold our best memories.
If you are traveling with a partner or friends who enjoy different things, that is perfectly fine. We are flexible, and Iceland has something for every pace and personality. All you really need is curiosity and a love for life.
We are looking for travelers who want to connect, not rush. People who enjoy stories around the table, hikes under open skies, and laughter that lasts long after the trip ends.
When we started Midgard Adventure in 2010, we often invited guests into our homes for coffee, cake, or a casual beer. Later, when we built Midgard Base Camp, our gatherings moved there. But we have missed that cozy, personal feeling. For this trip, we are bringing it back. You will join us at home for a special dinner, where Kalle, our in-house chef, will cook something special for the group.
Let’s Chat Before You Come
We love to talk with guests before each trip. A short call or email helps us tailor the experience to what you are most excited about. Send us a note at adventure@midgard.is and either I or one of our travel team will be in touch.

Good to know
You are a seasoned traveller, but we will send a packing list with the confirmation email just in case.
Short of the story is LAYERS. Each season brings a differently level of wind, rain, and snow. We love our wool base layers and waterproof outer shells. In our shop, we have a fair selection of new and pre-loved gear that is there in case you forgot something.
It is very important that you understand this: we are here for you :)

Cancellation for this tour
Cancelling costs 30% of the price within 999 days of departure, rising to 50% within 28 days. If the operator cancels for weather or safety, you get a full refund or a new date.
If the weather cancels this tour
Iceland's weather is real. What usually stops this one is a forecast the operator judges unsafe. Here is exactly what happens to your booking.
- 1Midgard Adventure decides, and tells us. Operators cancel when it is unsafe or pointless, and we back that call every time — we do not ask them to run anyway.
- 2We contact you by email, and by phone if your tour is the same or next day. You choose: another date if there is one you can make, or a full refund. There is no fee and nothing to argue.
- 3The refund goes back to the card you paid with, through Stripe, usually visible within a few working days. If this tour was one of several in your booking, the others are untouched.
What you do not get is the day back. If this is the only free day in your plan, put a spare day next to it — the planner leaves days free with the rest-day option. And if you want out because the forecast looks bad, that is your own cancellation: free until the cutoff shown above, the operator's policy after that.

Sold out on your date?
Seats come back — a cancellation, or the operator adding a vehicle. Tell us the date and we will check once a day and email you if one opens. One email, then we delete the address; nothing else is ever sent to it.

What a fabulous adventure! Our tour group and tour guide were fantastic. We were so ecstatic to have such an active group of people on our tour allowing us to do multiple hikes and excursions. Our tour guide Alessandro was absolutely incredible! So knowledgeable & friendly. My husband and I loved chatting with him and learning about his personal background and time in Iceland. I would definitely recommend this excursion it was one of our top 2 highlights of our 9 day trip around the ring road!

Our day in Þórsmörk with Ragnar ended up being one of those travel experiences we’ll be talking about long after we get home. Ragnar was hilarious from the start—full of stories about Icelandic life, culture, and folklore that had our whole group rolling with laughter. But beyond being entertaining, he has an obvious passion for both his country and the work he does. You can tell he genuinely loves sharing this place with people. Because it was a private tour, he really paid attention to who we were and what we enjoyed. He quickly realized our group was up for a little adventure and customized the day to match our energy level, taking us to incredible hikes, stunning viewpoints, and hidden spots we never would have found on our own. Along the way, he taught us about the geology and history of the area in a way that was engaging and easy to understand. And then there were the Icelandic hot dogs. What could have been a quick lunch stop became a memorable part of the day, complete with Ragnar’s enthusiastic tutorial on the proper way to stack the condiments. We may never eat a hot dog the same way again. We had some amazing experiences in Iceland, but this one felt especially personal. Ragnar didn’t just guide us through Þórsmörk—he made us feel like we were experiencing like a local. We’re so grateful for the memories and would recommend him & Midgard Adventure in a heartbeat.

The Þórsmörk Super Jeep hiking tour with Midgard totally exceeded our expectations! A massive shoutout to Carlos Gabriel, who is truly one of the best guides I’ve ever encountered. Not only is he an incredibly skilled driver—making the rugged terrain and river crossings feel completely safe and exciting—but he is also a wealth of knowledge. He kept us engaged the entire time, explaining the fascinating local plants, rocks, and geology along the way. The hike itself was incredibly fun and diverse, taking us through a stunning variety of landscapes. The final payoff at the top was breathtaking, offering a magnificent view of the snow-capped mountains and the massive valley below. If you are looking for an unforgettable adventure in Iceland, I cannot recommend Midgard and Carlos enough!

Our family of 4 had an amazing time with Odi and a small group on a Super Jeep tour of Thorsmork. He was very kind to our 9 year old daughter and spent the entire day engaging us with local knowledge. The scenery is incredible and even with poor weather elsewhere its microclimate was mostly dry and even let some sun break through.

Multi-day packages — questions people ask
Are multi-day tours in Iceland worth it compared to day trips?
For the southeast, yes. Jökulsárlón and the ice caves are five hours from Reykjavík, so a day trip is fourteen hours of mostly bus. A two- or three-day tour (/experience/6131/, /experience/923386/) sleeps out there, sees the lagoon at a sane hour and adds an ice cave in winter. For the Golden Circle and South Coast alone, day trips are fine. Multi-day tours cost more per day but include the hotel.
What is included in a multi-day tour?
Transport in a minibus with a driver-guide, accommodation with breakfast, all the listed activities such as glacier hikes and ice caves, and the entrance fees on the route. Lunches and dinners are usually not included; you stop at guesthouses and cafes and pay your own way. Single travellers pay a supplement for their own room. Check the tour page for exact inclusions, the hotel standard and luggage limits, which are tight on small buses.
How many days do you need for the Ring Road on a tour?
Six to eight. Six-day tours (/experience/785082/, /experience/876949/) get round with one night in most regions and long driving days. Seven and eight days (/experience/20483/, /experience/33665/) add the highlands or Snæfellsnes and give more time out of the bus. Anything shorter than six is not a Ring Road tour. Summer versions have the highland detours; winter versions swap them for ice caves and shorter daylight.
Should I arrive in Iceland the day before a multi-day tour starts?
Yes. Multi-day tours leave Reykjavík between 08:00 and 09:00 and do not wait for delayed flights. Land the day before, sleep in the city, and start fresh. On the other end, tours arrive back in Reykjavík in the evening, so do not book a flight home the same night. In the planner, put arrival on day one, the tour from day two, and leave the last day for the flight.
