You know what they say, a hike a day keeps the doctor away\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mother Nature really said \u201chold my Brennivin*\u201d when designing Iceland<\/a>. From the turquoise waters of the Blue Lagoon to the country\u2019s highest waterfall (Seljalandsfoss), Iceland\u2019s landscapes are some of the best in the world. And, to fully appreciate them (and to avoid all of the extra snow that comes in winter), you have to explore them on foot in the summertime (the best time to visit for hiking<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lace up your hiking boots and leave the bumpy gravel roads behind in search of staggering waterfalls, breathtaking national parks, impressive mountain peaks, colourful landscapes and other remote destinations that a tour bus can\u2019t reach, on these 6 day hikes in Iceland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From duration estimates to distance travelled, we\u2019ve put together a guide on all the best hikes in Iceland including what you can expect to see, how much fitness is required and any tips you might need to make hiking in Iceland your favourite way to see this country\u2019s beauty. But first, you need to know what to wear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to wear for a hike in Iceland<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"A<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Hiking in Iceland is similar to hiking anywhere in the world but there are a few things you need to make sure you\u2019re wearing before setting out. This is by no means an extensive list, but it\u2019ll give you a good idea of the essential items you should be wearing if you want your hike to be a safe and enjoyable one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Sturdy hiking boots (that you\u2019ve already worn in)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Long sleeve shirt (thermal is recommended)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Long pants that dry quickly or waterproof pants<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Lightweight jumper (as a second layer in case you get cold)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Waterproof jacket<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Beanie or warm hat<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Woolen gloves & socks<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Sunglasses and other sun protection items (e.g\/ sunscreen)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Walking poles<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to pack for Iceland: A definitive guide<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Vatnajokull Glacier<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"A<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Difficulty: Easy
Distance: 2km (1.2 miles)
Duration: 1-4 hours
Tip: Don\u2019t forget your camera<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re seeking a glacier hike in Iceland, then Europe\u2019s biggest ice cap should undoubtedly be your destination. Vatnajokull has around 30 glaciers flowing from it, and while hiking to this natural wonder might seem like a daunting daytime activity, no previous hiking experience is necessary to tackle this once-in-a-lifetime trek. However, you will need to wear ice crampons (sorry, regular hiking boots won\u2019t cut it).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But nothing can prepare you for how breathtaking this hike is. Once you begin, you\u2019re completely surrounded by blinding white ice, not to mention the impressive mountain ranges on either side and you can\u2019t help but feel small in the face of so much natural beauty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the hike itself is easy, it can take between 1-4 hours to complete depending on weather conditions and accessibility, but you\u2019ll have a good hour to an hour and a half enjoying as much of this glacier as possible. Our verdict? A definite must-hike if you\u2019re travelling to Iceland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Kvernufoss Waterfall<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Difficulty: Easy
Distance: 1.4 km (0.9 miles)
Duration: 1 hour
Tip: Wear a waterproof jacket<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We simply can\u2019t make a guide to the most epic hikes in Iceland and not throw in a waterfall trail or two, and the Kvernufoss Waterfall is one of the best there is. Easily accessible from the Skogafoss Waterfall (another cascading body of water that should be on your Iceland to-do list), this waterfall is perfectly hidden by a neighbouring valley and is framed by moss-coated lava rock cliffs. Like, can it get any more magical than that?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boasting an otherworldly appearance and a drop of 30 metres, the Kvernufoss Waterfall is often overlooked by visitors to the Skogafoss Waterfall, but their loss is your gain as the relative peace and quiet only adds to the serene tranquility of this special spot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can even walk behind the waterfall itself (one of only a few waterfalls in Iceland where that’s possible) to a small cave and marvel at the waterfall from a different perspective. Depending on the weather conditions on the day, you might also be blessed with a rainbow as the spray created from the water bounces off the lava rocks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Mount Esja<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Difficulty: Medium – Hard
Distance: 7km (4.3 miles)
Duration: 2 to 3 hours
Tip: Pack some energy-filled snacks, you\u2019re going to need them<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wandering around Reykjavik is stunning in its own right but enough museum visits and colourful street strolls (we\u2019re looking at you Rainbow Street), and your feet will start to itch for more wide-open spaces and dirt-laden trails. Luckily, this next hike is only a convenient 45-minute drive from the city centre and can be completed in an afternoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Known as one of the most popular hikes in all of Iceland, summitting Mount Esja is one for the highlight reel with its panoramic views of nearby Reykjavik and the Atlantic Ocean. With a height of 914 metres and an ascent of 744 metres, climbing up this mountain isn\u2019t easy (you\u2019ll definitely want a soak in the Blue Lagoon afterwards) but it\u2019s well worth the effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Reykjadalur Trail \u2013 Hveragardi<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Difficulty: Easy
Distance: 6km (3.7 miles)
Duration: 3+ hours
Tips: Pack your swimwear<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another short drive from Reykjavik lies the famous Reykjadalur \u2018Smokey Valley\u2019 trail \u2013 a trail so beautiful it\u2019s almost as if it\u2019s been lifted from the pages of a fairytale. Leading you between mountains into a deep valley where the waters of a warm, geothermal river await, this 6km trail is as easy as it is spectacular. And there\u2019s no greater reward after spending a couple of hours hiking to this popular spot than spending a few more relaxing in its mineral-laden water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But most hikes are about the journey just as much as the end destination, and the same can be said for the Reykjadalur trail. Although you\u2019ve got the promise of bubbling hot springs ahead of you, take your time on this easy hike and marvel at the surrounding smoky mountains unfurling with each step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Invigorating hike? Check. Soothing natural bath? Check. Impressive scenery? Check. What more could you want from a hike in Iceland?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Solheimajokull Glacier<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"A<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Difficulty: Medium
Distance: 2.4km (1.5 miles)
Duration: 3 hours  
Tip: Watch Game of Thrones before you go<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another day in Iceland, another glacier to walk on, and while this one might be less well known, it\u2019s no less impressive. Part of the larger Myrdalsjokull glacier, the Solheimajokull glacier is one of Iceland\u2019s most magnificent natural wonders and, if you\u2019re a Game of Thrones lover, one of its most recognizable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This hike takes you between a labyrinth of ice formations, allowing you to get up close and personal with the glacier\u2019s unique texture and pure blue\/clear colour. The best part? Despite its \u2018medium\u2019 difficulty rating, this hike is suitable for all fitness levels as progress is slow and steady to ensure safety while you\u2019re on the ice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Blahnukur Brennisteinsalda Loop<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Difficulty: Hard
Distance: 9.7km (6 miles)
Duration: 4-6 hours
Tip: You\u2019ll need a killer playlist and some walking poles for this one<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Landmannalaugar region in Iceland\u2019s southern Highlands looks like another world entirely \u2013 one that\u2019s full of colourful rhyolite mountains, lava fields and geothermal hot springs. And while there\u2019s plenty of trails (both easy and hard) to occupy your time, the Blahnukur Brennisteinsalda loop is one of our favourites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Technically a combination hike that climbs both Mt Blahnukur and Mt Brennisteinsalds (because sometimes summitting one mountain just isn\u2019t enough), this 9.7km trek will take you on a mind-blowing journey through lava fields, past steaming fumaroles and to the top of mountains that promise you the best views in all of Landmannalaugar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re not going to beat around the bush, this trek is hard and should only be attempted if you\u2019ve had previous hiking experience. But for those of you who won\u2019t blink twice at sections of steep climbs, zigzagging trails and winding switchbacks, the scenery you\u2019ll be greeted with along the way more than makes up for the constant sweat on your forehead and the burn in your legs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
