Fantastic tour - My daughter and I had a wonderful time. I highly recommend this tour or any other Midgard Adventure offers. This tour was the high point of our trip to Iceland. The scenery was breathtaking! There were great hikes with grand vistas. Carlos was the perfect guide. Very caring and informative.

GREAT hike! - I cannot recommend this company highly enough. Our guide was outstanding. He was the perfect blend of informative, personable, with great stories and a true kindness. Everyone in our group had a wonderful hike getting to know a bit about each other while enjoying spectacular scenery.
It was the perfect amount of challenge—enough time to get out there, but not too long (about 4 hours).
Our guide even had tea, coffee and a yummy Icelandic treat (like a less sweet Kit Kat) for us at the end.
Book it, you won’t regret it!

Would give 10 stars! - I cannot speak highly enough of Midgard. We did the short day hike, and it was amazing. It takes about 1.5 hours to get into the park, which requires navigating flowing rivers. Our guide was very competent and we stopped on the way to view the glacier. The information he gave along the way was helpful and interesting. The hike itself was well thought out, and the guide explained that he chooses each hike based on factors like weather and group composition. We went up a small mountains to begin and had a great view, then returned through a valley and had lunch around 2:30 back at the hut. The park has access to bathroom facilities and water at two parking locations, so we started at one and had a break midway at the other. We got back to “base camp” around 4:15, very content. Highly recommend!

A memory we will never forget! - Our day hike tour with Ana exceeded our expectations (which were already so high)! We lucked out with the weather as the visibility was really clear and the ground was dry. The landscapes were stunning and we were still able to see some wildflowers and blueberries even though the season is ending. We fit in one very rigorous hike up Valahnúkur and down around surrounding trails, then two shorter walks nearby to see glaciers and waterfalls. If you are considering booking this trip, we would recommend that you have some level of aerobic fitness and good balance, and also that you aren't afraid of heights. Ana was awesome and had many wonderful stories to tell. Thank you Midgard, we hope to visit you again someday soon.

Beautiful trip Superjeep with hike to Thorsmork - Had a wonderful tour with a superjeep in Thorsmork including a hike of about 7 km. Everything was fine at Midgard. You were assigned a symbol for your group (we were group Vulcano) and soon after we set off with our Guide and driver Marjolein, who also happened to be a Dutchman who has lived in Iceland for 30 years. Nice ride inland. Eventually we took action ourselves and started the hike. Was doable although I would not recommend this hike for people with a fear of heights. Beautiful hike. Beautiful area. Nice lunch spot in the middle of nowhere. Packed lunches ordered from Midgard and these were surprisingly put together. Very tasty. Our Guide knew not only about the landscape but also about the various bushes and edible species of blueberries.
After returning we finished with a drink and also used dinner at Midgard Base camp.
All in all, Midgard did his business well and we enjoyed this day! Thanks also to our Guide Marjoram!

Great day hike - This was a great day for our family of 5. The hike was challenging enough to be interesting but not overwhelming. Our guide was fantastic, and knew the area like the back of his hand.

Incredible and indescribable views with memories for a lifetime! - At Midgard Adventures, it is clear to me that they love what they do. From booking to our return to base, the process was seamless. The staff was quick to respond to my inquiries and their facility is very inviting. Our guide Sven was not only highly capable but entertaining and informative with stories to tell! The hike itself was moderately challenging. However, it is not one for the faint of heart as the trail includes some narrow ridges and steep moraines. The effort yields incredible rewards with breathtaking views of the Thorsmork Valley. This was the highlight of our amazing Iceland trip and if we are ever lucky enough to return, we will definitely be booking an adventure with Midgard!
