South Iceland is a traveller’s paradise all year round, with each season offering something new. Whilst winter is full of snowy days, dark nights, and the northern lights, summer welcomes in more greenery and flourishing landscapes, alongside plenty of daylight – and sometimes the odd bit of snow, too!

That’s why we put together trips at Midgard Adventure – the sister group of Midgard Base Camp – that are perfect for certain times of the year. If you’re heading over this summer, why not check out or incredible travel experiences that we’ve got on? Here’s a little taste of what you can expect.

Fimmvörðuháls Midnight Hike (June-September)

This gorgeous hike makes the most of the midnight sun when it’s around, a phenomenon to those unfamiliar with it, and the longer days in general during the summer.

Meet your group at 9.00PM – make sure you’ve had plenty of sleep during the day, and a coffee can help to perk up sleepy eyes! – before heading out on this night-time trek. You’ll cross hot lava at Fimmvörðuháls, visit the Eyjafjallajökull volcano (made famous after those 2010 eruptions), descend at the Skógá river, and more! The beautiful sunrise you’ll be able to enjoy is a must-see sight, too.

4-Day Iceland Adventure (April-September)

Make new friends, explore some of the most magnificent natural wonders in South Iceland, and trust your expert guide to give you the best experience on Midgard Adventure’s epic 4-day trip.  You’ll take a super jeep through the sweeping valleys of Þórsmörk, stand beneath the mighty Skógafoss and Seljalandsfoss waterfalls, and do an incredible ice-walk at Sólheimajökull Glacier. You’ll also visit geothermal baths, black sand beaches, and the beautiful Icelandic highlands – what more could you want?!

Þórsmörk Hike (April-October)

Þórsmörk is one of the most well-known South Iceland sights, and definitely one that you should check out whilst you’re here. Known also as the valley of Thor, the Thunder God, this incredible landscape of rugged wilderness, snow-capped volcanoes, and glacial floods is like nothing else on Earth. Get to grips with the valleys and mountains with our 7-8 hour hike, taking you off the beaten track and showing you all the most breath-taking spots.

7-Day Midgard Trek (May-October)

The Midgard Adventure 7-Day Trek is great for solo travellers, and those in small groups as well. Meet new people, spend 7 days travelling together, and experience the beauty of Iceland with a local guide who knows it the best! You’ll explore deep valleys, stand at the top of snowy mountains, climb volcanoes, stand beneath waterfalls and conquer glaciers on this epic adventure, giving you an incredible experience of the nature of Iceland.
