Exploring the Wilderness
This remote takes you through one of Iceland's most spectacular volcanic regions. Your expert trekking guide will lead you into the Vatnajökull National Park, up to the peak of Sveinstindur mountain with fantastic view on lake Langisjór, the long lake. The trail goes along the great Skaftá river through bright green moss covered lava formations, impressive waterfalls, canyons and amazing craters, to the Eldgjá, a volcanic fissure created in one of the greatest eruptions in historical times. The journey continues through the contrasts of black sands and green moss of Mælifellsandur desert. Hiking through this dramatic landscape you will feel the greatness of the land as well as the immense solitude. In the evenings you will enjoy the company of your friendly and knowledgeable guide and your small group in the tiny cozy mountain huts along the trail. The perfect trek for those looking to venture off the beaten track!

Customer Reviews
“We selected the Wilderness of Strúter Trail rather than the more popular Landmannalaugar trek since we wanted to be far from the maddening crowd. It exceeded our expectations! Milla was an incredible guide and really helped us make the most of our 5 days...She also was an incredible resource on Iceland in general.”
