About the trip

This five-night tour with G Adventures focuses on trekking through Eastern Iceland’s distinctive scenery, guided throughout by a Chief Experience Officer. The route begins in Borgarfjörður eystri, a small fishing community where local tales of elves mingle with views across the Eastfjords. Hiking Stórurð offers a chance to thread across unusual rock formations and turquoise lakes.

The itinerary includes a visit to Dettifoss, Europe's most powerful waterfall, where the noise alone warrants a pause. Walks through the geothermal fields around Myvatn and the Leirhnjúkur lava area reveal the island's volcanic underpinnings. The trip ends with a leisurely exploration of Seyðisfjörður village, known for its colourful houses and fjordside setting. While days are full of walking, evenings offer local farm-to-table meals and chances to enjoy the quiet of rural guesthouses. The unpredictable weather reminds that this is not the place for predictable sunshine.
