Another great stay - As with previous experiences, Midgard delivered with a great trip into Iceland’s natural beauty. Extremely knowledgeable guide (from Iceland not abroad) and comfortable, safe vehicle. Always a pleasure to be at Midgard, they truly make you feel like part of the family.

Unique remote experience in Iceland! - This was our most unique experience in Iceland! The guide took us in a super jeep along primitive roads at the base of a volcano, and drove through waterways so we could have access to the completely remote area of Landmannalaugar. We hiked through fields of lava rock, observing beautifully colored landscape, mountains and steam fissures. At the end of the hike was a natural hot spring, but it was a cold day so we didn’t try it out. The guide was so interesting and informative, and he was a great driver who knew precisely when to adjust his tire pressure (making us feel completely safe). The landscape was absolutely gorgeous! I highly recommend this activity!

Excellent company with many offerings - The Midgard Team provided a great tour. Great company with very friendly and personable. Our guide (Jon spelled with an accent over the O) was very knowledgable of the area and very personable. He told us about the geology, culture, and personal connections to the area. It was particularly meaningful that he was born and raised in the area. Our tour was in a highly specialized vehicle- the tires could be inflated and deflated at the flip of the switch to improve how it handled a very bumpy F road, and as such, it was a much smoother ride than in other vehicles. Our tour went through a less frequently used route (unsure if this is the norm for Midgard or if we lucked out, but definitely inquire about this type of option) and we saw many beautiful sites on the way to Landmannalaugar. We stopped periodically to look around and take pictures. Once at Landmannalaugar we enjoyed an easy hike with Jon and the rest of the group. Landmannalaugar is beautiful. We had lunch together (We brought our own lunch but Midgard prepared great looking lunches for people who requested them ahead). Jon offered us coffee and tea (I think hot chocolate too). Then we spent some time bathing in the hot springs. On the route back we continued to see more beautiful sites. We also enjoyed eating at the Midgard restaurant at their base camp and stayed overnight in their camper spaces. We were able to use their facilities which included a great hot tub. They also had a sauna, bathing suite dryer, laundry machines, showers, and bathrooms. The facilities were very clean.

Fantastic trip. - We had a wonderful time on this full day trip. Our guide Heymin was incredibly knowledgeable and took us all over the highland areas to see incredible vistas and hidden gems as well as Landmannalaugar. Even though the weather wasn't brilliant, he tailored the day to get the best out of our experience. We loved the natural hot springs at Landmannalaugar.

Superb Tour! - Absolutely superb trip into the Highlands. The Super jeep was a great experience as it effortlessly tackled the challenging terrain and river crossings. Ingvar was a fantastic guide and everything was saw was absolutely stunning, including some unexpected locations on the return journey. The Basecamp is a superb place to start the tour and the food in the restaurant afterwards was delicious.

Landmannalaugar - Fantastic tour - Fantastic trip! One of the best experiences in Iceland. Our guide, Gunnar, was absolutely fascinating. He, as someone who serves in a rescue and rescue team in these areas, knows the area like the back of his hand. He really lives the environment. And of course, the area is beautiful and special.
