Þakgil (129.000 ISK)

Tour Overview

Discover the hidden valley of Þakgil, one of South Iceland’s most beautiful and lesser-known hiking areas.

Located just inland from the village of Vík, Þakgil is surrounded by moss covered mountains, rugged volcanic formations, and dramatic canyons that create a landscape very different from the famous black sand beaches along the coast.

On this private hiking tour, you will explore scenic mountain trails, peaceful valleys, and panoramic viewpoints while learning about the geology and history of the region.

Away from the crowds, Þakgil offers a quiet and authentic Icelandic hiking experience where you can fully immerse yourself in the raw beauty of Icelandic nature.
