TRIP DESCRIPTION :

Considering its duration and rhythm this overland discovery with beautiful hikes is certainly by far the most intense and varied journey that one can realize in a week in Iceland!

Highway Number One on the South part of Iceland is truly among the world’s most spectacular driving routes - a narrow black ribbon of tarmac running through ever changing sceneries. To it’s South, the immensity of the Atlantic Ocean, with more than 10000 miles of open water before the cost of Antarctica. To the North, a mysterious chaos of mountains, volcanoes and glaciers ñ and the highlands spirit is always calling you. But how to answer these calls? Well, we know some secret trails. This trip is a deep exploration of the active volcanic belt, traversing some of Iceland’s most dramatic scenery. It is specially designed for nature lovers who are not deterred by some exertion, ideal for those wanting to experience Iceland’s stunning, unspoiled scenery at first hand, but at an easier pace compared to our more demanding treks. Using specially modified 4x4 vehicles, we will discover the most secret part of the Southern Highlands and the strange but magnificent South Coast that hosts the huge Vatnajökull glacier. Hiking frequently, we will experience the stunning diversity of this “huge small land”. Stopping by small settlements such as V ik or Kirkjubæjarklaustur, we will also have a chance to meet the original Icelandic culture, the result of a long fight between this courageous people and nature’s harsh forces. The general rhythm of this journey, the small size of the group, and the everlasting days, will give you a special feeling and allow each person to relax and enjoy this unique experience. This year we propose different option of accommodation for this tour: From sleeping bag accommodation in small dormitories with shared facilities in hostels up to fancier comfortable Hotel or B&B superior with private facilities.
