What to expect

We do not have a strict program, Icelandic weather is very unstable and we prefer to play around it on hiking tours. On a regular Hike in Thorsmork tour we drive into the valley, stop by waterfalls, crossing glacier rivers, we might also stop by different canyons like Stakkholtsgjá and even at Nauthúsagil, a small beautiful canyon, hike to Valahnukur peak (if the weather allows) or other neighborhood areas or hiking trails like Tindafjallahringur and etc. The hikes vary from 3-5 hours depending on the people and the weather. Sometimes we do two shorter approx. 1-hour hikes plus 3 hours around Valahnjukur circle.
