Flott fyrirtæki. Frábær matur og þjónusta.

We had one of our most spectacular vacations with Midgard Adventures 4 day Northern Lights Tour. They are a family owned business who welcomes everyone who enters with open arms. My hubby worked with them for a small birthday celebration that turned into an amazing night with the locals at their annual festival. We truly got to experience being in the local environment, best birthday gift ever.

Midgard knows the weather and how to work around it and come up with alternative adventures. The tour guides are professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. We felt at ease and safe with them behind the wheel. Trust me the winds, ice, snow were no joke and not what we are used too.

Midgard base camp was cozy and very inviting. The food was delicious and I loved the cocktails. The rooftop hot tub and sauna were lovely minus the gusty winds.

We met two other couples on our tour and we quickly became friends. Midgard is a place where you want to keep visiting and exploring, we will definitely be back.

A huge thank you to everyone at Midgard who helped make our adventure and my birthday very special.

My 15 year old son and I just returned from our tour with Midgard Adventure. We went on the 4 day Northern Lights tour, staying at Midgard Basecamp. I cannot adequately express how amazing the Midgard crew is in every way! First, we loved all of the sights! They took us to some of the more popular attractions along the Golden Circle, but also to less traveled areas like Thórsmörk, and for dessert and hot chocolate with a wonderful local family. Knowing my love of fiber arts, they even took us to meet local knitters and natural dyers! We got to know our tour guides well and loved their stories and history facts. We also got to know the people working at Midgard Basecamp who were all so kind and welcoming. We felt completely taken care of and made many amazing memories!! I recommend this group 100% and hope I get to travel with them again!

Really loved this tour. I tend to like to do my own tours but the conditions that can happen along Thor Valley can be dangerous if you’re not equipped properly.

Our guide was very informative and friendly. We had a fantastic time. I would definitely add this to the “must do” list when in Iceland.

Our Super Jeep Thorsmork tour with Midgard Adventures was hands down the best part of our trip, and it was all thanks to our expert guide, Fred! There were only four of us in the group, which made the experience feel personal and special. Fred was not only incredibly knowledgeable about the landscape and history of the area, but he was also hilarious, keeping us entertained throughout the day.

One of the highlights was when Fred convinced us to take off our shoes and wade through a small pool of water to discover a hidden waterfall. It was an amazing and unique experience we never would have found on our own. This tour was truly a blend of adventure, fun, and breathtaking scenery.

The day was worth the price, If you’re considering booking with Midgard Adventures, don’t hesitate! And if you’re lucky enough to get Fred as your guide, you’re in for a fantastic time.

With our guide þórir we enjoyed the 3 day northern lights tour. As a Hvölsvollur local Þórir was incredibly knowledgable about the local area, friendly, accommodating. Due to poor weather we had bad conditions for northern lights but Midgard and þórir made an effort to take us out light far from town to try and chase them and made an effort to try and find them for us.

The þórsmörk valley jeep tour was unmissable - truly an unbelievable place on Earth and well worth visiting with a guide. Our third day with glacier walk was also breathtaking and we felt safe and confident with our guides direction.

The golden circle, although very popular, is the weakest part of the tour/sightseeing. You should do it as its part of every Iceland trip but day 2 in þórsmörk and day 3 of this tour are unforgettablenand I will remember them forever!

Thank you þórir and Midgard team for an amazing three days!

This was the BEST day on our week long Iceland trip.Jon took us on an epic adventure.Jon's understanding of the terrain and weather made us feel we were in good hands. My 7 year old son can't stop talking about Jon and Midgard.Do not hesitate to book a tour with Midgard. And eat at the restaurant after the tour! It was delicious.
Thank you!

Prachtige tour gehad met een superjeep in Thorsmork inclusief een hike van ongeveer 7 km. Alles was prima geregeld bij Midgard. Je kreeg een symbool voor je groep toegewezen (wij waren groep Vulcano) en niet snel daarna gingen we op pad met onze gids en chauffeuse Marjolein, toevallig ook een Nederlandse die al 30 jaar in IJsland woont. Mooie rit het binnenland in. Uiteindelijk kwamen we zelf in actie en startten met de hike. Was goed te doen hoewel ik deze hike niet zou aanraden voor mensen met hoogtevrees. Prachtige hike. Prachtig gebied. Mooie lunchplek in de middle of nowhere. Lunchpakketten besteld bij Midgard en deze waren verrassend samengesteld. Erg lekker. Onze gids wist niet alleen veel over het landschap te vertellen maar ook over de diverse struiken en eetbare soort bosbessen.

Don’t hesitate- book with Midgard!

We just completed our 4-day aurora trip that began on March 8 and I want to state it was the best tour my mother and I have ever taken!
The trip is thoughtfully planned for cultural and nature immersion. All staff from the front desk, to emails responded to by Tanya, to the restaurant/bar, to our guides, owners and Bjorg were exceptionally dedicated to making our stay wonderful. The chefs were incredible and made some of the best food myself and my mother have ever eaten (especially the pierogis and beet root soup!). Midgard exceeded our expectations in all areas that matter

The way Midgard is run, through friends, family that care and values that help leave our planet better for the next generation. The entire foundation Midgard is built on is beautiful, allowed us to have an extraordinarily personal trip and allowed me to feel good about my choice when I booked with them. They are dedicated to conservation and built a varied comprehensive tour package that touches on the nature, food, culture and music of Iceland.

Thank you, Midgard, for the beautiful destinations and the amazing food and restaurant stops!

I want to especially thank our guides, Palmi and Ragnar, for making the experience for our whole group memorable. Palmi was a very fun guide who weaved in humor to our destinations and shared local candy with the group, which my mother and I were most excited about. He was also gracious enough to answer all my many questions about Icelandic culture. Palmi was very knowledgeable, and shared the history and background of each of our destinations with us and allowed for me to gain a depth of understanding I was hoping for in my tours. They were both very different as guides, but we thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated both. Our trip would have not allowed us to see as much, know and experience as much without this tour and these guides

The very last night, Midgard hosted an Icelandic musician who played beautifully and was the perfect way to end our stay.

Midgard is allowing the world to see what a beautiful country Iceland is, how kind and generous Icelandic people are and are giving people around the world an opportunity to know, understand and appreciate Icelandic culture. Break down cultural barriers. I've done my research. They are industry pioneers and I hope more companies around the world follow their lead.

Book with Midgard for the Northern lights tour/any tour (our tour was a composite of several of their adventures). You won’t regret it! You also won’t find a better value for your experience with other companies.
