About us

The Norse Adventures Story

Crafted in Iceland, guided by the people who live it every day.

Norse Adventures was born on the edge of a storm in the Highlands, when Magnus realized visitors needed more than a sightseeing tour—they deserved a companion who could read the weather, the rivers, and the legends written across every ridge. From that moment, our journeys have been intimate, story-driven immersions led by locals who carry compasses in one pocket and family history in the other.

Every itinerary is woven from the same threads: authentic hospitality, deep respect for Icelandic nature, and a relentless focus on safety. We scout each route in every season, test every river crossing, and partner only with guides who can balance calm storytelling with decisive action when Mother Nature decides to remind us who is in charge.

Guests sharing stories around an Icelandic camp

Immersion First

We cap group sizes, cook traditional meals, and camp under the same skies as our guests so the stories you hear are as real as the landscapes around you.

Authentic Storytelling

Guides share folklore passed down through families, explain how we navigate glaciers, and invite you into the everyday rhythm of Icelandic life.

Safety Without Compromise

Wilderness First Responders on every departure, satellite comms in every truck, and contingency plans for every trail so you can lean into the experience with confidence.

Laura MSpectacular trip on the Laugavegur. Our guide, Arni, was fantastic-knowledgeable, fun and responsive even when weather caused hiccups. Magnus communicated throughout, even arranging extra excursions. We highly recommend the Hut-to-Hut experience and Norse Adventures!
Philippa SHiking the Laugavegur trail with Norse Adventures was exactly that-an adventure for our slightly older group. We hiked, stayed in huts, ate lovely meals (and celebrated with beer and wine). Magnus and Fenris were master guides and helped anyone who needed it on steep sections. Fifty-five kilometers of fun nights, river crossings, hills and humor. Just do it!
