Description
Get a taste of Icelandic life with an outdoor experience in Húsafell. Embark on a guided hike through the remote Icelandic wilderness followed by a soak in the Húsafell Canyon Baths.
Led by a knowledgeable local guide in English, this year-round tour begins with a short ride from the Húsafell Activity Centre to the trailhead in the remote Icelandic Highlands.
On this 2-hour tour, we enjoy a relaxed walk among natural wonders not found in many guidebooks, including the spectacular two-tiered waterfall Langifoss. We’ll also learn about Iceland’s renewable energy practices, cross an icy stream of glacial meltwater and see the site to Okjökull, Iceland’s first glacier claimed by climate change.
Note that the route can change due to unforeseen weather circumstances such as snow, ice, mud or water.
The highlight of our excursion is a serene soak in the Húsafell Canyon Baths, a surreal hot spring paradise that has to be seen to be believed. Enjoy an hour of relaxing, recharging and breathing in the pure Icelandic air before heading back to the starting point in Húsafell.
