As you traverse Víknaslóðir Trail, you'll be greeted by the diverse flora and fauna of the region, including the elusive Arctic fox and numerous bird species that make their home along the coastline and in the valleys.
Each day's hike offers its own unique landscape, from the stark beauty of deserted inlets to the surprising hues of the mountain ridges painted in shades of red, orange, and green.
The well-marked trails lead you through areas rich in history, where abandoned farms and ruins whisper tales of Iceland's past, offering a glimpse into the lives of those who once called these remote fjords home.
This trek is an invitation to those ready to step out of their comfort zones. While not technically or physically demanding, the Víknaslóðir Trail's remote paths appeal to the adventurous at heart.
As you traverse the landscapes, each night's rest in Iceland’s self-serviced huts promises a true back-to-nature experience. While these huts offer basic cooking and sleeping facilities, hikers have to carry their own food, cooking equipment, and sleeping bags.
We understand that adventure comes with its uncertainties, which is why we're here to provide a seamless experience. When you embark on the self-guided Víknaslóðir Trail with us, we book your accommodations in the self-serviced huts, ensuring you have a spot to rest.
Additionally, we provide a personalized travel booklet with GPS navigation to guide your steps, which is essential in the Icelandic wilderness. Our round-the-clock support and expert guidance are at your disposal, ready to solve any logistical issues and enhance your journey through the East Fjords.
Let the Víknaslóðir Trail be your gateway to an adventure that transcends the ordinary. Step into the wild, embrace the elements and discover the untamed heart of Iceland with us.

We had a lovely hike today with our guide Klemen. He personalized the tour on our needs and interests, so that we saw places we wouldn't without his experience. The hike was a little bit slippery after the rain from the last days and it went a lot upwards, but it was totally worth it! Thanks again :)
