Anmeldelser af Kerlingarfjöll Geothermal Highlands Day Tour
Beskrivelse
Flygt fra folkemængderne og opdag en af Islands bedst bevarede hemmeligheder på dette daglige eventyr i de afsidesliggende højland. Rejs dybt ind i det robuste interiør til Kerlingarfjöll, et spektakulært bjergkæde kendt for sine dampende geotermiske dale, farverige ryolithtoppe og udoverjordiske landskaber. Ofte sammenlignet med Mars, denne skjulte region tilbyder en side af Island, som få besøgende nogensinde oplever. Med din Ekspert Vejleder kan du nyde en naturskøn lille gruppe vandretur gennem Hveradalir geotermisk dal, hvor bubblende varme kilder, dampende ventilatorer og levende mineralfarvede bakker skaber en uforglemmelig indstilling. Undervejs kan du nyde den vidunderlige udsigt over gletsjere, høje floder og uberørt vildmark langt fra de typiske turistruter. Denne tur er perfekt for rejsende, der ønsker at gå ud over den gyldne cirkel og opleve en mere autentisk, eventyrlystne side af Island - uden at skulle køre selv til Highlands.
Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
Vores eventyr begynder med en afhentning kl. 8 fra Reykjavik på det sted, du har valgt fra vores afhentningsliste. Når alle er om bord, vil vi forlade byen og hovedet mod de afsidesliggende islandske højland. Efter at vi har brugt lidt tid på at udforske området og nyde de geotermiske vidundere i Kerlingarfjöll, tager vi tilbage til Reykjavík for en aften ankomst.
Vi gør et kort stop på Gullfoss, hvor du kan bruge toilettet og købe snacks eller frokost at gå.
Højdepunktet i Kerlingarfjöll er Hveradalir-dalen, et fantastisk og ikonisk landskab. Hveradalir, der betyder 'De varme kilders dal', er en af de største geotermiske dale i Island. Pladsen er omgivet af de farverige rhyolitbjerge i Kerlingarfjöll-rækken, der byder på spektakulære omgivelser og fremragende vandremuligheder. Nogle varme kilder her er så kraftige, at de kun bør beundres på sikker afstand. Bemærk venligst, at varigheden af vandreturen afhænger af stien og vejrforholdene, men vi sigter efter at vandre i omkring 2 timer.
Vores destination er Kerlingarfjöll, et vulkansk bjergkæde i det centrale Island, kendt for sine dampende geotermiske dale, hastige gletsjere og betagende panoramaudsigt. Vi vil gøre et hurtigt hvilestop ved Gullfoss, før vi overgår fra pavede veje til højlandske bjergveje. Undervejs vil du blive behandlet til udsigt over den store sorte højland ørken og gletsjerlaguner, der i sidste ende ankommer til den bjergrige oase af Kerlingarfjöll. Vores første stop i denne region vil være The Highland Base, der ligger i Ásgarður-dalen ved kanten af Kerlingarfjöll, hvor vi kan strække vores ben.

Not safe and not provide any protection, extremely dangerous and slippery road
Hello Wei, thanks for raising this. We are aware you have been in contact with us about your experience on this tour, and our team is looking into the details now. We will respond to you directly once we have the full picture. Arctic Adventures Team
The Kerlingarfjoll day hike was absolutely incredible. I went in early June when it had just opened and our guide did a great job navigating us across what feels like another world. You could see the guides passion for the Highlands as a truly special place of Iceland. He navigated the F-roads to get us there safely - but it can be quite bumpy. The hike has a lot of built in stairs, but be prepared for mud, snow, and a small water crossing - all part of the Iceland experience!
Hi there, thanks for the thoughtful review. Glad Kerlingarfjöll was such an incredible day, and that the guide navigated both the F-roads and the terrain well. The practical tips are useful for future travelers. Until next time! Arctic Adventures Team
Great experience, Hjalti was very attentive.
Hi there, thanks so much for the kind words. Kerlingarfjöll really does feel like another planet up there, and we're glad you had a guide who looked after the group well. Hope you're back in Iceland. Arctic Adventures Team
Great hiking tour, such cool terrain to explore
Hi Taylor, thank you for another review. Kerlingarfjöll is one of the more unusual landscapes the Highlands have to offer. Lovely to hear the hike worked out well. Arctic Adventures Team
The scenery was absolutely stunning and worth every minute of the hike. As someone with very little hiking experience, I really appreciated how supportive our guide was. He helped us navigate the trickier parts and always made sure everyone was doing well. A special thanks for being so patient！
Hi there, this is lovely to read, thank you. Kerlingarfjöll can feel a lot for anyone new to hiking, and a guide who's both supportive and patient makes the difference between getting through it and getting to enjoy it. Hope you're back in Iceland! Arctic Adventures Team
I just want to say, our guide Ari was the best. I was so afraid that I was about to cry, then he saw me and helped me. He let me hold onto him during the hike and was encouraging me all the way. I wouldn’t have seen the beautiful parts without his help.
Hi Martha, thank you for the kind review. The guide will hear how much it meant to you. Hope to see you again sometime! Arctic Adventures Team
This is my first time joining the hiking tour and it’s the best decision! I booked this trip last minute because a person I met during another tour recommend doing this since it’s available only during summertime. My guide is Guna, who’s very knowledgable, patient and kind. She helped me and others a lot throughout the whole hike, teaching me how to place my feet on a curtain point of the path, to be careful around the snowy path. There are 8 people in the group, I, Swiss couple who’s very kind, they help others as they have experiences in hiking before, American Indian couple who shared their fresh towel for me to keep me warm as I came quite unprepared, English couple who tried their best and made it to the top though they’re hesitate at first, and an Irish solo who’s very cheerful and keep everyone’ company. They’re very wholesome people, I’m really happy I joined this tour. And the view is absolutely breathtaking, unlike anywhere else. You need to see them yourself. It’s worth every single steps it takes to get there. There are also a short stop at Gýgjarfoss before the hike and Gullfoss after. There is also a stop at camp base near the hiking area where you can indulge in the waffle buffet and nice hot chocolate. Totally recommend this activity! And I would definitely looking forward to join hiking tours with Arctic Adventures again on my next trip in Iceland :)
Dear Traveler, we are so glad you had such an incredible experience! Guna and the team will be thrilled to hear your kind words. It’s wonderful that the group came together so warmly and that you got to enjoy Iceland’s breathtaking landscapes. Your description makes it feel like we were right there with you! We look forward to welcoming you on another adventure with Arctic Adventures in the future. — Arctic Adventures Team
Artic Adventures and the guide were excellent. I gave the trip three stars because the description is deceiving. The hike is touted as going through thermal valleys and snow fields. They left out hiking up stairs without rails or ropes to cross over narrow ridges. The trail is pure muck. Not hiking shoes or hiking boots, galoshes are needed. We hiked only part way and then returned to the parking lot to follow a well marked path. The younger participants completed the loop. Overall we had a good day but wished we had been better advised on the hike.
Absolutely incredible experience the views were nothing like we've seen before. It's like another planet. Our tour guide was efficient and helpful in walking with us through the hike and got us back quickly! The trail was doable and our tour guide had good pace.
My Kerlingarfjöll Hike was clearly an outstanding day with the best guide you can imagine. Our small group started out with stormy winds, and I needed a bit support for stability. Our guide did just the right thing, and all went well. During the hike we made several short stops and learnd a lot about geology, the different kinds of lava and much more amazing facts. (...and at the same time we could catch our breath..) I shot photos with amazing results, the cloudy sky and the fog with a few sunpatches made a unforgettable journey. Thank you!
