We have a client interested in a 5-day trek on the Laugavegur trail in Iceland for a group of 4 travelers in July 2026. They would require luggage transfer and food included in the package. They would like to be sleeping in huts.

We do not provide any self-guided trekking tours in Laugavegur, due to safety concerns. We can only offer group or private tours in this area.

Are there any provisions for single travelers?

The trek is welcoming to solo travelers, with plenty of solo participants. You won't feel lonely as the groups are small.

is it the classic Laugavegur trail, is accommodation in huts and the cost? Also is there pick up from the airport to the starting point?

The Laugavegur Trek with Fimmvörðuhálss is a classic 6-day hiking adventure in Iceland. Participants stay in mountain huts along the trail. These huts are shared dormitory-style accommodations with basic facilities, including communal kitchens and bathrooms. You will need to bring your own sleeping bag. Private rooms are not available. The tour does not include a direct airport pickup. However, pickups are available from designated locations in Reykjavík. From the airport, you can take a shuttle to Reykjavík and join the group at specified locations like City Hall or Reykjavík Campsite.

What kind of boots are recommended for the tour?

It's recommended to use waterproof hiking boots with good ankle support and a robust sole, preferably with a Vibram or similar outsole for optimum traction.

Is there a shuttle service available for the trek?

Yes, a shuttle service from Reykjavik to the trek's starting point and back to Reykjavik after the conclusion of the tour is provided.

Can additional gear be hired for the trek?

Yes, you can rent additional gear such as hiking boots, sleeping bags, waterproof jackets, and pants. Please let us know in advance to arrange these.

What is the range of temperatures experienced during the June trek?

The average temperature in June ranges from 6.7°C (about 44°F) to 11.7°C (about 53°F). However, it might be colder on the highlands, and weather can be quite variable.

What technology amenities can I use during the tour?

You can bring power banks or portable charging devices to keep your electronic devices charged, but make sure to check in advance if these can be recharged at the accommodation facilities.

What do we need to bring for the trekking adventure?

For your 6-day trekking adventure you have to bring: Thermal underwear (top and bottom), at least two sets of shirts, wool or fleece thermal mid layer, hiking pants, waterproof and breathable pants and jacket, wool/fleece hat, at least one pair of gloves, 2 to 3 pairs of thick socks, waterproof hiking boots, sleeping bag and travel pillow, sun glasses, sunscreen / after sun cream, travel sack for your baggage that is transported between huts/campsites, day backpack(25-40 L), river crossing shoes (old sneakers or similar for fording rivers), health supplies and prescription medicine, personal medical kit to include personal medication, 1-2 liter water bottle, towel.

I did this tour last July and it was fantastic. Everything was as described in the brochure. The only objection would be that the group was quite large, 16 plus the guide. At times it was challenging to fit all at the tables provided in the huts. My shout goes to the guide Indra. He is very knowledgeable very kind, trying to help everybody and accomodate to different level of performance in the group. Indra was always happy, cooking great meals and making the best of our time in Iceland.Show more

I had a great time on this tour. The pre-trip prep instructions were excellent, so I did not come ill-prepared. Deyan, our guide, spoke excellent English and clearly knew what he was doing, and was very friendly with us. Daily hikes were manageable for most, although that 25km day would be a bit much for some. Accomodations were spartan but spotless. The views are amazing. Would highly recommend this tour!Show more

I recently did the Laugavegur Trek with a couple of days tagged on at the end for day hikes (started on the 8th Sept 2022, duration six days). The tour provider was Arctic Adventures. This trek was really excellent! I came back home feeling I’d had a massive adventure and was ready for more! I had a great group of twelve people from various countries and age groups that included eight solo travellers like me. Our guide (Hjalti Björnsson) really looked after us all and was a great cook! He also gave us some great insights in to the scenery, nature, culture and history of Iceland. I can’t recommend him highly enough. The landscapes in Iceland are otherworldly magical and heartbreakingly beautiful. The light and shadow play on the volcanic landscapes which, due to the vegetation that clings to the rocks, were a multitude of colours. The air was so fresh and for a while I felt totally at peace. I could have just sat and watched the views for a year! There is nowhere else like this place, at least not in Europe and not that I’ve seen. I was a bit sad when the trek ended. Thank you Arctic Adventures and Hjalti Björnsson!!Show more

The group could not eat together in Landmannalaugar (not enough seating), this was not beneficial for getting to know each other and getting together and communicating/getting information together. The lunch break in front of the hut Hrafntinnusker, which was closed at noon, was cold, uncomfortable (on the floor, as not enough benches) and smelly, as it was only sheltered from the wind next to the toilets. Both huts not suitable for 16-participants. For this scenic trip you can overlook this, but group size and seating do not fit here (team building difficult).Show more

  does it mean that we can bring a daypack and a carry-on sized or more with us and leave the bigger one for transportting to the next hut while just carry the daypack with us? what capacity of the daypack you would recommend if that's the case. i have a osprey 36L but not sure if it is too big?
- Arctic AdventuresOperator•Written December 2024
  With the tour you've booked, luggage transport is included, which means you can bring a larger bag to be transported between huts. During the trek, you'll only need to carry a daypack with essentials for the day. We recommend a daypack in the range of 25–40 liters. Your Osprey 36L is a great choice.
