Unforgettable outdoor experiences

Welcome to Arctic Hiking and Expeditions. We specialise in adventure tours across Iceland, with a particular focus on hiking and backpacking. Our mission is to ensure each guest enjoys an unforgettable experience outdoors, as we open the door to Iceland’s breathtaking natural wonders.

Why Iceland?

Iceland’s remarkable blend of “fire and ice” creates landscapes that are both spectacular and otherworldly. Throughout our tours, you will discover a captivating mix of active volcanoes, glaciers, black desert sands, verdant and sparse vegetation, all woven together with hot springs, thundering waterfalls, the enchanting midnight sun, and the awe-inspiring northern lights. Iceland stands out as one of the safest and most environmentally conscious countries on the planet, offering unique opportunities for hiking enthusiasts.

In addition to its dramatic scenery, Iceland’s people maintain a strong connection to their settlement history, as preserved in the Icelandic Sagas and a language that has remained largely unchanged since the 9th century.
