Walk on Iceland during February 2024 - I have spent 5 days with walk on Iceland and it was an amazing experience, they tried to fit as many places as they can with shifting between the days programs as per the conditions of the weather.

Beautiful & Informative Hike! - Magnus and his canine friend, Lisa, were wonderful guides for the evening hike! He had the perfect rewards for us as we completed milestones of the hike! He shared so much with us about the country and the people and we so appreciated his flexibility with us as this was a last minute schedule! Be sure to let Magnus know your pace and hiking style when booking so he can prepare accordingly.

Great hike - The hike was wonderful. I had great conversation with my hike leader. Very patient. I was not rushed. We went at my pace. The hike was not technical compared to what I’m use to in the USA. Overall, a great experience and I will definitely be back!
