Fire & Ice
Hike to waterfalls, volcanos, glaciers, and hot springs
Three things you will do on this trip that you will still be talking about years later.
The waterfall crawlWe do not stand back and photograph these. We walk behind them, climb into them, and come out soaked. Skógafoss hits like a wall of noise, and Gljufrabui is hidden in a cavern most people drive straight past.
The Thorsmork expeditionOff road buses take us into a volcanic valley that looks like a different planet. Glaciers on one side, jagged green peaks on the other, and a hike that everyone talks about on the drive back.
Secret hot springs recoveryAfter days of trails and volcanic climbs, everything resets in a natural hot pot most people never find. Steam coming off the water, drink in hand, nobody in a hurry. Then we go straight into Reykjavik for the last night out.
📅 The Day By Day
Six days, planned so you never have to think about it.
Land at KEF, hot springs hike, then basecamp at Midgard.
We'll find you at the airport (meet at KEF between 8-10am) and right away head to some sweet spots along the way to our basecamp. The first stop is Rekjadalur Hots Springs Hike and Trail Run, where we will stretch our plane legs and then soak in the natural “hot pots” overlooking the valley. After that, we might check out a plane wreck and/or charge through Gljufrabui Waterfall before heading to Midgard, our home for the next 4 days. When we arrive to basecamp in the late afternoon, we'll shower, hot tub, sauna and have dinner at home. Dancing will be rampant, daylight will be plentiful, and the elfs come out to play at night. Where this night takes you is your story, but this is just day 1.
Bootcamp, a cinder cone, and a hot spring hangout after the climb.
Wake-up calls, a morning bootcamp, a hearty breakfast awaits before we depart for Hnausapollur Cinder Cone (glacier lake and waterfall). Then we hit the Bláhnjúkur Mountain Hike and Hot Springs Hangout. Hike: 5.4 mile, loop, ~3hrs 10mins, 1,499 elevation gain We head back for evening yoga, happy hour and a big group dinner at Midgard!
Off road into the volcano valley, with waterfall stops on the way.
Wake-up calls and breakfast begin the day, then we depart for Thorsmork and along the way we stop for some sexy photo moments behind some huge and powerful waterfalls. Hike: 2.0 mile, out and back (different exit), ~1hr 30mins, 662 elevation gain. This volcano hike is as bad ass as it gets. You can take the long route or the short route, and you won't believe your eyes. After our longest run, we head to Selijavallalaug for some geothermal pool action, you better believe we're bringing the music and dranks - you deserve it after todays run! Dinner and theme party is at our basecamp!
Skógafoss and ten more falls behind it, then dinner in Vik.
We saved the biggest for our last day in the south! After an early yoga and breakfast we head to Skogafoss, one of the island's biggest and most breathtaking. We will gear up at the base and then hike past the base past 10 additional waterfalls before heading to the town of Vik and the Smiōjan Brugghús (brewery) for lunch. A quick polar plunge at the black sand beach and some puffin chasing completes our day before returning to Midgard for dinner and a Game of Thrones costume party to cap off the night!
Check out, straight to the Blue Lagoon, then Reykjavik at full speed.
We'll check out of our basecamp at 9am and go straight to Blue Lagoon to rest and recover after running through all those endless waterfalls. Later we'll all head into Reykjavik to our final home base, settle in and hit the town hard for all it's got, including the capital's famous hot dog stand!
Late breakfast, airport transfer, and a group chat that keeps going.
We will be checking out before 11am and making our way back to the airport. Transportation to the airport is not provided but we will be grouping people together based on departure times to make things easiest. Until next time… or until we all see each other at the next party because this friendship just started!
Every day is optional. Do all of it, or sleep in and meet us at lunch.
