Northern Lights Trek - Iceland

Join us in the land of fire and ice for volcanic landscapes, hot springs and adventure! - You may even be dazzled by the spectacular Northern Lights.

Your challenge will begin by trekking to the shores of Lake Þingvallavatn; Iceland's largest natural lake. We then hike to the Vörðuskeggi Mountain Pass, where you will have a chance to explore the impressive Geothermal Valley - full of hot springs, bubbling mud pools and colourful minerals. 

The trek will be challenging; hiking across snow covered landscapes and conquering mountain passes, with a chance of witnessing the dancing lights of the Aurora Borealis that we're confident will keep you motivated! Your trek and achievements will conclude with a celebration in the bright lights of Reykjavik!
