FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

The elevation gain is moderate, but terrain is uneven. We adjust distance to match your fitness level—shorter walks are available.

Sturdy boots, waterproof layers, gloves, hat, reusable bottle, and camera. We supply poles, headlamps, and gas masks when conditions require.

Eruptions on Reykjanes are intermittent. If there is no visible lava, we still explore recent lava flows, vents, and geothermal areas.

Safety first. We monitor Met Office alerts and reschedule, reroute, or provide alternative adventures if conditions deteriorate.

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!
