Midgard Adventure

I did the Þórsmörk Super Jeep Tour in December 2025. Ragnar was our guide, and he is an incredibly skillful driver for that insane terrain. He was also funny and kept us entertained with great Icelandic stories throughout the day. The staff at the Midgard Base Camp were friendly, welcoming, and respectful. Overall, an amazing experience.

We did the Þórsmörk Super Jeep Tour in late October 2025. Ragnar was our guide - and he was not only a fantastic driver but entertained us the entire day with the most interesting stories about Icelandic geology, history, customs and myths. Ragnar - you are the best (even though you ‘made us looking for stones for 10 minutes and enjoyed it ;-)! We saw a lot of the fantastic wilderness - glaciers, waterfalls, hidden valleys and a cave. Our day was rounded up by a hike to the top of a mountain with an amazing view and lunch at one of the cabins in the area. After our return, we had dinner at the Midgard Base Camp - yummy! Thanks to entire team for an unforgettable adventure.

We went on a Thorsmork Superjeep tour with Alessandro in Dec 2025 and had the best time! We drove into the valley and did some fun 4x4 driving, and managed to squeeze in three hikes to see a cave, the valley and even a 1 hour return hike to a short summit to see some snow! Alessandro was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions happily, and was able to adapt the tour to be slightly more adventurous for our fit and hiking-happy group. He also supplied some hot coffee, tea and hot cocoa for lunch, and some crampons for our icy summit hike ❄️

We had a fantastic Super Jeep Tour into the Highlands to Landmannalaugar with Midgard. Our guide David led the tour with a great sense of humor and deep knowledge about Iceland. Even though the weather in the Highlands can change extremely quickly, I always felt safe and well taken care of thanks to his experience. The scenery is truly breathtaking – at times it feels like being on another planet. For anyone who wants to experience Iceland in a very special way and has the time (and the budget), this tour is absolutely worth it!

My wife and I took Midgard Adventure’s 7 day Epic Midgard Trek and it was truly epic! This is a great tour and a great family-run company. We started with a night at Midgard Base Camp where the staff could not have been more friendly and the food was truly excellent. Lamb skewers and arctic char were both delicious. We finished the evening soaking in the hot tub. The next morning we were off in a super jeep that took us to an off-the-beaten path trailhead in a “high heat” area where we walked through steaming lava vents. All of day one was off trail and spectacular. We are experienced hikers and this was our best day of hiking ever….as in ever! Our tour guide Thorir was as local as local gets, born and raised in town. He literally knew everyone in town and many guides on the trail. That said on Day 1 we were absolutely alone for most of the day, absorbing the unimaginable beauty of the changing Icelandic scenery. Hiking days 2, 3 & 4 were on the world famous Laugavegur trail which brought us into contact with many backpackers from across the world; it was fun to chat and compare stories. We slept in huts which was a fun experience but definitely made better by having ear plugs (someone always snores)! Plus we saw the Northern Lights which was a great bonus! Day 5 was the AMAZING Fimmvörðuháls trail. A 15 mile demanding hike up 1000m through glaciers and lava fields, plus a gazillion amazing waterfalls. Midgard transported our packs from place to place and delivered fresh food, veggies and bread daily. We just carried water and day clothing. A true glamping experience foodwise! We HIGHLY recommend Midgard Adventures as a company and Midgard Base Camp for excellent food and as a place to stay and use as a base camp. We are in our late 50’s and work out several times a week. The 7 day hike is for folks who are in good shape and can handle several 12 mile days of hiking with ups and downs in a row. Nothing technical in term of hiking but it’ll keep your muscles toned and moving! And it’s well worth getting into shape for! You will not be disappointed!

If you travel to Iceland and don't spend some time with the Midgard family, I'm sorry ... you're doing it wrong! Great accommodations, great people, great tours and great food! If/when I return to Iceland I will book with Midgard again.

We booked the Þórsmörk Super Jeep Tour with Holly as our guide. It was amazing! Holly talked to us about Iceland geology and took us to various locations of interest. We started at Landeyjahöfn black sand beach, across from the island of Vestmannaeyjar, then drove to Þórsmörk. We got to see the massive Eyjafjallajökull glacier then walked through the Stakkholtsgjá canyon. Stopped for lunch and had a short hike then drove to another hike at Basar á Goðalandi. At the end of the day on the way back to base camp one of the massive tires blew but Holly did an incredible job of controlling the Jeep and getting us to the side of the road and to safety. The day was beautiful, the company was great, and overall we were extremely happy with our tour. Would definitely recommend for a stress free, adventure filled day.

My daughter and I booked the Midgard Adventure guided day hike for Þórsmörk. Our guide Ragnar took us on a stunningly beautiful hike and did an excellent job encouraging me, because I was the least fit of the group. He provided interesting geological and historical information for the area and Iceland as a whole, as well as funny commentary that kept us all laughing. The Midgard base camp was well stocked and easy to get to. The entire experience was stress free and an amazing adventure. Would book again and recommend to all.
