My name is Erla, Im the owner of Fjallhalla Adventurers, which I founded in 2014, decided to do the extra drivers licence in 2015 and finally claim the hiking guide licence the spring of 2017. Why the name Fjallhalla Adventurers? Fjallhalla means in Icelandic: fjall=mountain, halla= women's name and elevation. Halla and Fjalla-Eyvindur were outlaws, famous characters in Icelandic history that survived living in nature, those characters were definitely an inspiration when finding a proper name for the company. We wanted it to be different, more authentic. Adventurers, cause well, we enjoy the trips and being in Icelandic nature just as much as you do. We love our jobs. Do what you love, and love what you do right?

Hekla hike Excellent hike, including the perfect weather. Booking with Fjallhalla Adventures is an assurance of a great and safe time in the mountains. I have done other hikes with the company and they always know when it’s the best time to go, which talks about the experience that they have. Also Erla the owner is super nice and she always makes sure you not only have a great time in the adventures but also doing some extra activities in the area, like local food, historical landmarks or concerts.

I did this hike in July and was blessed to have a beautiful, sunny, clear t-shirt weather day! This is a relatively easy hike, but it is uphill for about 2 hours, so take your time and enjoy the views. There are two points where the trail splits off- take the trail to the right both times if you want a slightly less steep hike up. It is a little longer, just to be aware. It took me less than 2 hours to go up the steep way (and that was with taking lots of breaks to catch my breath and enjoy the view) and about an hour and half going down the less steep, but longer, way. Very easy to get to with the city bus if you don't have a car. Round trip was approximately $9 and took about a half hour each way. The "Straeto" bus app was pretty easy to use and you can set it up so it's in English. The stop you want to search for is Esjuraetur- Hiking Center.

Kalfshamarsvik is a small cove in the northern part of Skagi, with unusual, beautifully formed sea cliffs of columnar rock, created about 2 million years ago. At the beginning of the 20th century, fishing boats plied the waters and there was a small community of about 100 inhabitants at Kalfshamarsvik. However, by around 1940 the village had become deserted.

One of the things you cannot leave Iceland without doing is riding the Icelandic horse in its natural environment. There is no other horse that is as characteristic as the Icelandic horse and they are as comfortable as a horse can be. Riding into the Ásbyrgi canyon is something that is suitable for beginners and those who are experienced riders. The departure is from Gljúfrastofa visitor centre at 11.00 & 13.30 from June to September. Duration of the tour is 1,5-2 hours.
