Arriving in the late afternoon with nothing else to do and everything closed we went to the little "bump" of a mountain. It is a 10 minute walk up the path to the top where Thor was supposedly honored. The views are good. It cost 650 ISK to climb to the top.

We had great time hiking to Mt. Helgafell. The view is stunning. We were also happy with the guide and smooth pick up and drop of from our hotel. The whole thing took less then 3,5 hours.
Really good service with pick up and drop of from hotel. Such a nice hike with stunning views surrounded by lava fields and beautiful icelandic nature. Recommend 100%
Amazing hike with excellent guide. Relatively easy and close to Reykjavík. Pick up and drop of included. Highly recommend.
This was an amazing experience! My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed spending our morning with our guide, Magnus, and his sweet pup, Lisa. Magnus is personable, easy to talk to, and made this hike incredibly enjoyable. I did not feel pressured at all to keep up with a certain pace. And Magnus made sure to stop every so often to check-in and make sure we were doing well. This was a fantastic way to see more of Iceland and learn more about it from someone who is from the region. It was a lovely morning, well spent. I highly recommend booking this activity and you’ll be lucky if you are guided by Magnus! 10/10!
This was a phenomenonal experience. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and kind. He also was very well prepared. Leesa, the dog, was an amazing bonus. I wish I had time to do a second hike with this company on this visit. I HIGHLY recommend. I had so much fun!!
Absolutely a highlight of our trip. Our tour guide was very personable and knowledgeable. We enjoyed a great hike with incredible views on the first snow day of the year.
I have spent 5 days with walk on Iceland and it was an amazing experience, they tried to fit as many places as they can with shifting between the days programs as per the conditions of the weather.
A really nice hiking with a real good guide, the weather was perfect, the view beautiful, a perfect day I really recommend that hike
Magnus and his canine friend, Lisa, were wonderful guides for the evening hike! He had the perfect rewards for us as we completed milestones of the hike! He shared so much with us about the country and the people and we so appreciated his flexibility with us as this was a last minute schedule! Be sure to let Magnus know your pace and hiking style when booking so he can prepare accordingly.
This hike was the highlight of my trip to Iceland! The guide was impeccable, and from pick-up to drop-off, we couldn't have asked for better.
The hike and my guide were perfect. It was nice to discover Iceland with someone living there, nice talk and walk. Would definitely do it again !
Beautiful hike with stunning walks and views. Magnus told me so mich about the area and Iceland during the trip. Pick up and drop off worked perfectly. Definitely worth it.
The hike was wonderful. I had great conversation with my hike leader. Very patient. I was not rushed. We went at my pace. The hike was not technical compared to what I’m use to in the USA. Overall, a great experience and I will definitely be back!
We had a great hike up my Mt Helgafell with our guide Magnus and his energetic Labrador. Very windy but great views and impressive landscape
Great tour and amazing tour leader - highly recommended - we had fun - BTW please reduce the number of words for feedback 😉
