Hiking

This is the "classic way" of getting to know Iceland's countryside, either cross-country with map and compass, or on one of the marked routes. For longer tours you do need to be fit and well equipped. A wide variety of organized and special-interest tours awaits walking and hiking enthusiasts. Some travellers even opt to spend their entire stay in Iceland in this way, on such tours as 17-day organized treks through remote areas. Further details are available from touring clubs and travel agencies.
